  • Oh that's weird and a shame - I was only there a few weeks ago & it seemed to be going strong. I'll double check & let you know.
  • Yes that's right!
  • Yes it's the acorns group I was thinking of - still there & great!
  • I take my three yr old there sometimes & she still likes it - mainly children from 18 months to three/four I'd say. Hmm definitely ends at 12 & I get there for ten but it starts earlier I think. It's well run & such a great resource, esp…
  • Excellent child minders run the stay and play at stroud green children centre (in stroud green primary) on Fridays - you could take your little one along for an hour or two and meet them. It's a nice way of seeing them in action. Once your child is …
  • I love this idea! There's a bit of spill out from vagabond anyway and some nice shrubs and that pretty tree - would be nice to make it more of a formal public space without cars. Farmers market would be brilliant too...
  • Hmm some of this banter is a bit sexist no? All these negative comments about what mothers are doing when they dare to step away from their domestic duties for an hour or two. Who cares if they want to slope down the pub for a pint with some friends…
  • This is all really brilliant and useful. Misscara - I love Persephone Books too and I like your idea of a proper pop up with a stall on the street! Thanks for that article JoeV -very  interesting and confirms what I've been thinking. There isn't a…
  • Thanks Mills - will check that out. ChangN4N6 I'd really love to take over the flower shop and persuade Vagabond to set up an overspill cafe in the bookshop but it's so expensive. I'll definitely  try and get hold of the owner when he's back though.…
  • You've been so helpful - thanks! I spoke to one of the guys in the cab office who said the whole place is for sale but the owner is away until end of sep. The estate agent was massively unhelpful but I might try them again. It would be a pretty bold…
  • I like the pub but it's definitely got rowdier in the past couple of years - feels like a younger crowd - and they're out on the street more. Perhaps I've just got older and less rowdy though. We had to get double-glazing in the bedroom because we c…
  • Agree with @papa - we have an amazing selection of restaurants (plus great pubs and the brilliant Vagabond). So much more interesting than Muswell Hill and Highgate where they're stuck with the likes of yawn-worthy Cafe Rouge and Giraffe. Our restau…
  • Thanks for your welcome to the world of governing! I went to a good training day organised by Haringey and felt there was so much to learn - and, as you say, it feels like everything is in a state of flux so as well as knowing about your school, you…
  • I wondered if it was BYO - I couldn't see anything about it on the menu. Jack's does indeed do a fine range of beers!
  • I was in RUB half an hour after they opened and had a vanilla milkshake & cheesecake - both lovely! Dunno if they have a licence though? The savoury food looks like it's begging to be washed down with a beer...
  • Hi everyone! I know this conversation is quite old but I came across it when googling the school and as I expect others will too, I thought it'd be helpful to give an update on Stroud Green Primary. I've just become a Community Gov…
