  • People do get very upset about the idea of removing trees, shrubs etc., which is understandable but in this case I think a golden opportunity is at hand.  Over the last decade, maybe a bit longer, there has been a much better assessment of which typ…

  • thanks oddstewart.  when you say didn't include finishes do you mean they didnt paint the frame and window woodwork? I got the details of their fitter who they said does renovation which I am hoping will mean their wont be such a big outlay!  I read…

  • Saw the Costa coffee fascia going up late yesterday afternoon but no no no Vagabond has ruined me for any other coffee around here.
  • Hi, coming late to this discussion... but I always like the way in the Haelen Centre up in Crouch End you can just fish a used plastic bag out of the supply that their customers bring in to them and done the same taking bags out of the plastic bag …

  • Yes, the tin roof block is not them.  They have the compound behind that and had plans drawn up to re develop their work premises and build student style flats and have studio spaces etc.. 
  • Spoke with John at the sale there on Saturday and he said that their  lawyers were just about to go to the appeals court - if they lose they will most likely be leaving the area .  Could Kate comment? I hope they dont leave - the are a world clas…
  • I couldn;t go to vagabond last night but wonder if someone who did could give us a review?
