Yes, it's great to see this spreading across more of the shutters. Though the eyes on the Santa on the pharmacy give me nightmares
-
The whole site seems to be getting a tidy up, with repairs to the pavements leading up to the gates, the fences along Stroud Green Road being repaired (though that may have been the result of my complaints!) and I think a new gate too at the main ro…

I know as you say that Image on Fonthill Road is a bit pricey, but I find well worth it for the quality. Not found anywhere better locally that's both better and cheaper.

Nice friendly experience when I've got a coffee from here. Good luck with setting up in a new place at such a tricky time.
-
Thanks for all the fascinating replies!
-
Thanks!
-
@therattle - exactly my thought too!
-
What you're doing is awesome. Thank you!

Rikki - I imagine the big drop in traffic is good for insects given how many vehicles can kill (if I half-remember a podcast on this topic from a few years ago correctly...!)

My experience with this cyclical work (just had my third cycle, as it were) has also been consistently poor. One bit of advice - document everything carefully, with exact dates and photos where applicable. Makes subsequent complaints / arguments ov…

Yay!

Outside, it looks great @Fireddo, I'd agree. The immediate inside however... even allowing for stark simplicity with cabling etc showing (which is the modern style for TfL and looks great in many places), the inside looks pretty cheap and unfinished…

Glad the new entrance is open and it looks like the street outside it will be a huge improvement. The inside of the entrance, however,... (unless it's only 25% finished and there's a whole load of work to be done inside still...)

Woo, congrats Arkady! And sorry to hear about the trouble; hope you manage to get it sorted.
-
That's a great set of tweets. Thanks for highlighting them.
-
This sounds a great idea. Have you managed to find out any more @Arkady ?

Ah, this explains the possy of Mario plumbers the other day.

I found Ian Midson of Fork Handles through an old recommendation on this site and am very happy with what he does and he's a lovely chap; highly recommended.
-
Was in there for the first time yesterday - really nice and friendly, and great food along with very strong Cypriot coffee.
-
Those yellow people are fab aren't they?
-
There's always the graffiti on the Seven Sisters Road rail bridges...
-
Thanks (for the recommendation and the laugh)!
-
Crikey, has everyone really had such disastrous experiences...
-
And thank you again - a most helpful local community
-
Thanks!

One tip re Islington - if you go through their complaints process I find they usually do sort things or at least give a decent reason why it's not happening https://www.islington.gov.uk/contact-us/comments-and-complaints-info/the-complaints-process …

It's open though to pedestrians all the way through the work I think? It's a minor peeve of mine how often 'closure' is used to mean 'closed to vehicles' rather than 'closed to all', especially in urban areas where there's quite a big difference be…

I think something is going wrong with the street sweeping from Islington. At first I thought it might be as simple as cuts meaning less frequent street sweeping, but when I took up a few particularly bad stretches with the council it turned out the …

Tried breakfast there this morning. Fairly standard fare, but good size portions and if anything food was too hot (wonder if they've improved since their early days given comment above?). Not as great food as some of the other options around, but pr…
