Yes ok you're right it is much better.
-
More useful would be to run more than one through train per day, to stop cancelling it. And also to synchronise the trains so that you have two minutes to change at Gospel Oak instead of arriving just after the previous train leaves. It is so badl…
-
Though you are right, Arkady, people who live close to borders should be able to count in both areas, otherwise they are discriminated against by losing access to local services and involvement in local decision making. I mean why should I get more…

Maybe they could partner with Scottish Tories who want to keep the Nationalists out?
-
I know I said I didn't really mind all that much walking around to an entrance that points in the wrong direction. But actually I quite like my tunnel. Can I keep it now, please?
-
Yeah, that's why I go there. I can't stand coffee. The pop-up coffee stand at Crouch Hill has a pretty good one, but it's not as good as Starbucks.
-
Well Finsbury Park is almost Knightsbridge. It even has a Starbucks. I expect that even now people are posting about how wonderfully the area is gentrifying.
-
Me. I love Starbucks.
-
When I were lad there were a proper tunnel ...
-
There is a bike shed on the edge of the park. I have a folder so I tend to take it with me or leave it at home. Should put some Boris bikes in too.
-
This sounds like an interesting idea but I can't really work out what it's all about from the link and Facebook. Is there a nice webpage somewhere that tells me?
-
Sometimes I fantasise about redesigning the M1 to work like a cycle lane.
-
Actually I love that the buses stop at Finsbury Park. That bridge is what keeps Stroud Green so quiet. Together with the park and the railway (and I suspect even Hampstead Heath). I mean really have you lived in other parts of London? Stroud Gre…
-
A belated thanks, Arkady. I hadn't clocked that the Wells Terrace entrance was closing permanently. Though I suppose it's not much further around, mostly you're just walking above ground instead of in a tunnel. Might make the buses less safe, as …
-
I see that Wells Terrace is going to be closed for three years. Three years? Without any explanation of how they tried to keep it down to six months but realised that wouldn't work. I realise it's not a huge inconvenience when it's quiet (althoug…

We've walked in twice along the main roads (FP-Highbury-Angel-West End) and even that is interesting. If you're looking for walks off road the Lea Valley canal is interesting. You can walk out to the canal without too many roads (Parkland Walk-FP-…

Clapham junction isn't in Clapham? Who knew?
-
Interesting. I am surprised to see a pair of million pound houses here. I missed the original application a few years back. I'm starting to get a bit concerned by the number of places popping up bodged right against the road - it seems to unfair …

I love Starbucks, Miss Annie. It does the best Chai Tea Lattes! (I can't stand coffee, horrible stuff.) That said, if someone opened up a half-decent coffee shop near Londis, I'd feel obliged to go there more often than Starbucks on principle eve…

I tried to look this up to find out what was going on and look who I found: http://www.londonreconnections.com/2013/the-past-and-future-of-finsbury-park/

My wife claims it's because she's more active. I point out her office room is South facing and directly above granddad's room so about 2 degrees warmer than mine ... and on we go. Some truth to all of these points, but I think it does vary from co…
-
We haven't had our heating on yet since last winter (except for water and granddad's room in the downstairs flat which is roasting - he's 88 so that's necessary). I aim to keep my room at 17 during the working day - in the days of high income and l…

Well said Idoru.
-
Sorry - W3 overtake is downhill in the opposite direction.
-
The Londis corner is dangerous - cars often barely able to stop in time when people are on the crossing. They can't see round the corner at the bottom of the hill. I've also seen cars go round the W3 trying to complete the overtake before the corn…
-
It did seem noisier than usual, though we're out past Londis so that means distracting not intrusive. If anyone is following this up, I'd be interested to know how much they make per event, how much the park costs to run and how much of the event m…

We're on talk talk. Minus: The network goes down repeatedly, often a few times a day (this is a problem). Customer services seems non-existent. The router is old, they never upgrade it and it doesn't reach very far (minor). Plus: The network nearl…
-
Please tell me it's true. Please!! (Sorry - I would like to keep the sign but I love Starbucks so much I can barely contain my excitement at the news.)

Hello I like your sentiment, trainspotter. Actually funnily enough I don't mind so much having a road in Finsbury Park, as if people are going to drive to a park it might as well be Finsbury Park which is big enough to have space for everybody else…

Backed this - sounds like a great idea. Do be sure to let everybody know how it's going, especially if you're close to making it as the deadline approaches.
