  • Press Release found on the website: " As you might have guessed, the shop is in fact a work of satire created by London based artist Darren Cullen, who says he wants to draw attention to, among other things, the way the consumer credit industry prey…
  • Perfect then!I've just texted you.
  • No, they emailed me " If you can make use of the Slug Gone, or know someone who can please use it/pass it on."It's yours !
  • Yes I am talking about a plain, unadorned baguette, not a sandwich. I do agree Jonathan, the cheese looked nice AND more affordable than the rest!I think it generally is very similar to the Italian Deli at 186 SGR, except that there are more french …
  • Back to the topic, we clearly live in a city, just a few minutes away from the tube and therefore the centre, but I do feel a sense of community in SGR that you just do not get anywhere in zone 1. It is indeed nice to be recognised by your local sho…
  • Rabbit is so good!I had a very nice rabbit dish at the Stringray café on Highbury grove about a year ago.. I wonder if they still do it, I'd go back just for that!
  • £3 for a baguette - (£2 for a small one)It IS expensive.The food looks good though, especially the cheese!  They even have morbier (a cheese similar to raclette which is quite hard to find in London) and St Felicien, my favourite cheese growing up. …
  • Before starting my masters at st Martins (UAL), I received the brochures for student accommodation, a tiny one bedroom with a shared kitchen for 7 people costed £180 a week! It was a crappy building, you couldn't open the windows, and that was 5 yea…
  • Well thank you all for these possible explanations!
  • Cineworld does unlimited cards for £15 a month. there's a big one in Wood Green, just 20 mins away on the W3 and you get to see London from Alexandra palace on the way there, and back ... I'm not necessarily a big fan of Cineworld in general, but de…

  • Amazing!
  • I wish I could afford NOT to shop at Tesco... Other than convenience, it still remains much much cheaper than shopping at small independents shops... (except the fruit and veg shop which is cheaper and nicer!) but for meat for instance, the new Tesc…
  • We went on saturday, the shop looks amazing (special mention for the exterior christmas lighting!) and it was really busy, but I thought the objects and furniture were really overpriced... I wish them well though, it is a nice addition to the street…
  • Best kebabs ever.I went there after reading this thread, and have now been about 6 times in 6 weeks... I definitely recommend the lamb shawarma. (They often run out in the evenings though...)Amazing taste, not fatty at all, at amazing value, with a …
  • It's freezing cold outside, he's still trying to play the guitar and singing rather that just begging for money, he may not be Jimy Hendrix but at least he is trying something! In my opinion he does brighten up SGR. He is always smiling, never aggre…
  • We popped in as well, lovely staff, really good food (the prosciutto and the cured meat were amazing), appealing produce on the shelves, but no prices! I am a bit worried it is all going to be a bit too expensive for me, but I think this place is a …
  • Joining in on the pizza conversation, If I had to pick one it would have to be Papaggone's. It took me ages to finally go to this restaurant (being originally put off by the decor - the noise - the crowd ...etc) But their pizzas are definitely the b…
  • Is this what you are after?http://oi42.tinypic.com/2m5m9f8.jpg
  • It isn't the dogs I blame ... When are we going to start making gloves out of irresponsible owners? I'm kidding, but these dogs need to go to the park and release their energy there! Not in our ears, day and night ... 'Praise You' seems to be the ne…
  • I'm happy to see Oasis closed for good! Anyone else thinks this was a money laundering operation? (Maybe I watched too many episodes of Breaking Bad, but honestly, these guys definitely had no idea what they were doing...)I m well up for a vietnames…
  • *he never seemed - sorry
  • He is a very nice guy, I never seemed to have caused any trouble. I do agree his choice of songs could sometimes be more varied, but he clearly enjoys playing, and I think he brightens up SGR a little! I would probably close my windows too after a w…
  • @markpark, we have had exactly the same experience the last 2 times we brought things there (items of clothing in perfect conditions, dvds, dvd readers, etc. not just books.) We are obviously not looking for thank yous when bringing things at the ch…
  • Sorry, please do believe in magic !From a designer point of you, I admire cleverness, craft and creativity
  • The man behind the counter at the station road sorting office told me that the Green Lane sorting office licence hadn't been renewed, and that Station Rd would be the place for collecting parcels from now on ...However I asked for a redelivery (thro…
  • I was lucky enough to see it too, It was absolutely gorgeous !But I personally think the inhabitants have been hosing it so that it could freeze like this ...I do not believe it's just magic But definitely beautiful !
