  • I would also like to point out that people are to blame here, not just the council. I do understand that we don't live in Japan (or South Korea) where bins are non-existent and people carry their rubbish home with them, but a little bit more care w…

  • @HolbornFox yes no criminalisation is intended. More support would be needed to help people who can exit that vicious circle. But once acknowledged that the circle can’t be broken, what next? As i mentioned earlier i will try engaging with them, …
  • Yes you are both very right It is a world problem and not just stroud green. But i found the notice written by the council quite honest and positive Probably not all of them will turn into thieves and something good will come for some of them. …
  • And what is your solution then? Keep giving them money that you know will go directly supporting drugs and the criminals around? Stop donating is the first step. Other steps need to be taken, but stopping giving money and letting the professional…
  • Thanks very much raston got you link. It is very informative. So it's very good to know that the council is doing a lot about it, as it's also depressing to acknowledge that many people are coming back because people are giving them money and food.…
  • Disgusting and speechless.....rot in jail!
  • So what is happening to the development? I can see that a lot of work has been done and there is rumble everywhere, but no one is working on it anymore. I haven't seen anyone working there for months. I do understand that it's good to oppose it, bu…
  • Itto...of course! Is it Japanese?
  • Oh yeah it's going to be such a big change ! And not to mention the direct link to Gatwick! These will be a couple of interesting years for the area!
  • wow the transformation carries on! yes definitely very handy, but such a big loss of character! oh well let's see when it will be built. With the student accommodation and city north the building will not look out of place, but it will for someone w…
  • The website looks promising, let's see! spoilt for choice is an understatement
  • Apparently the main gate next to the station is never closed because it takes two people to operate it and only one person is working for the council You couldn’t make it up! I an sure that this will change soon. They can’t pretend nothing happene…
  • They have released the name of the suspect murderer and he will appear before the court tomorrow. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-42547936?ocid=socialflow_twitter&ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbcnews&ns_source=twitter
  • I do feel the same. Cant stop thinking about a young girl brutally murdered on christmas eve...it s just too sad and absurd There are some developments in the invesgation, but of course we dont know what is happening. Hopefully they will arrest the …
  • Yes you are right. When I walk along upper tolling ton park towards green lanes I don't feel very safe. And I am on the street. I can't imagine walking through the park, ever! And I am never normally scared or anything. Hopefully someone will listen!
  • Yes unfortunately it's been confirmed it's her. I met her friends in the Parkland Walk yesterday stopping people asking if they had seen her. It's so incredibly sad :-(
  • I can't seem to find the exact start date. I will start working in London Bridge next year, so it will be a very welcome addition to the already super well connected station!
  • I have reported fly-tippers many times to Haringey and they even put up a sign in front of Cafe N4 (the old vagabond). I think it acts as a deterrent now as there is less rubbish there, but what I can say is that rubbish is unfortunately everywhere.…
  • Interesting one. Finsbury Park is definitely changing a lot! Is there a timeline for that development? Moreyoga is incredibly successful, so i assume it will relocate soon somewhere else as they don t need a lot of space or particular facolities.
  • wow Gymbox! That is awesome. However it will not be until 2020 eheh, let's see how the plan will change before that. the two pictures are the same link by the way. Thanks as usual for the great info :-)
  • @Arkady When will the work finish? Is it the end of 2019 or will we see something in 2018 too? it would be so cool to see some aerial photography or time lapse :-)
  • @Arkady oh yes it makes a lot of sense. Anyway great news and I second the London Bridge pain. I wonder what type of benefit this new connection will bring. Maybe more marketing material for the City North.
  • Amazing! the travelling time from Finsbury Park to Gatwick is more or less the same by Victoria + Gatwick express, but it will mean avoiding the tube and a change, and moreover it will be hopefully cheaper than the Gatwick express. Will we be able…
  • You are absolutely right @RCJB . I walk past the "development" several times a week and I have noticed that there is no movement of machinery whatsoever. Quite a lot of rubber just left everywhere and no progress at all. Definitely not something t…
  • @krappyrubsnif when was the last time you went to Napoli? I don't think it's nearly as dangerous as London to be honest when it comes to phone thefts etc. I have never been to Moscow or Los Angeles, but you can easily walk in Napoli without worrying…
  • Interesting! i wonder what it will look like then!
  • I think they ll keep the white facade on oxford road. It can be seen in one of the pictures. The rest of the building has been emptied / demolished from what i have seen by walking past it. It looks very modern but a bit out of place in the area. I …
  • I can confirm it's the one by looking at the floor plan. You can see where the unitis in the building and the shape of the building is the same!
  • I wonder what else it could be. By the location on the map and the period houses nearby i can definitely say it's Oxford House. There are other flat for sale...interesting to see if the rendering will be similar to what they will built. It looks lik…
