No premises big enough for a Waitrose to take over on SG Road, unless there's room as part of any redevelopments (how big are the retail units at John Johnes building?). Don't think we're gentrified enough to warrant a Waitrose.
-
Antic pubs were bought by a company set up by an ex-Antic director. So looked like a bit of a tactical administration.. Have a look at the back of the Camra London Drinker Summer Edition (no, really!) and all Antic's are shown as purchased by the ne…

So where do we think we'll get the best sound for those without a ticket? Seven Sisters road itself or the Parkland Walk? Haven't been to the park last week or so, so not sure how much of it is still accessible?
-
@PapaL - and how does filling in some pot holes on Hanley Road, which I agree are getting a little bit out of hand, will deal with the UK falling behind to airport hubs in Europe and Asia, and the trade that's lost with the Far East and South Americ…
-
The planning permission for the extra residential floors also included an extension to the pub, which basically infills their outside area. You don't need planning permission to go from pub to cafe use (if you choose to believe that Starbucks are in…

I want to hear more about Abdul and Cassie.

The Forchetta in Farringdon is more of a cafe / sandwich / pasta takeaway place. They had opened up another one in similar format further up the road towards Angel, but that closed down pretty sharpish.
-
You're an idiot.
-
Looks very nice from the street too (or as nice as a small shop can look), all open glazing and no adverts covering the front.
-
I'm pretty sure that this is supposed to be a permanent and full redevelopment of the site, replacing the current uses (car wash, fruit/takeaway stall etc), which in theory are temporary. This might be my second ever objection to a planning applicat…

@ Arkady, yep, strange, doesn't work for me either, but that's the right reference. I've pasted the link below, if that doesn't work, search for Stroud Green Road, and jump to the last page. http://www.islington.gov.uk/onlineplanning/apas/run/WPHAPP…

Some more drawings submitted in respect of the redevelopment of the yellow car wash on SGR. Application ref: P121537. It's lovingly entitled a 'Retail Shed' and looks a bit on the chunky side of things. Application to extend opening hours to Sugar …

Sorry, yeah, it did apparently happen at Finsbury Park. I too must have just missed it, was at the station around 8.30, and it was fine.
-
I would imagine that any emergency on the tube triggers a standard emergency services response until the details are actually confirmed, so that there’s no risk of not being able to deal with whatever’s going on if the details are sketchy. Driver…

Person under a train on the Victoria line, probably about an hour ago or so.
-
Hold on to your hats everybody, Sugar Lounge have submitted an application to amend their opening hours. No details as to what they are proposing as yet. Application Reference: P121646
-
We are in the process of moving, and one of the flatmates has apparently been told that Mind aren’t accepting any clothing donations at the moment. I haven’t verified this myself however.
-
I'll throw Sir Peter Hall's column from today's Planning magazine into the mix, if we're doing links @Arkady. http://s12.postimage.org/kjna7lfwd/Peter_Hall.jpg

Only works at platforms, not in tunnels. So you'll only have wifi access for the couple of minutes whilst waiting for a train. I hooked up to this whilst waiting for a train at Kings Cross a couple of weeks back, and it was good to get a quick email…

The one on Tollington Park will be a 'Pizza Restaurant' according to documents with application ref: P112796
-
Wouldn't surprise me, as those new flats have been on the market for a while. They might be re-thinking the 1-bed flat format.
-
You could have made that same point and shared thoughts in respect of the good service at the OD without being a dick about it. And yeah, I appreciate the irony. Personally, I've never found the service in OD particularly unfriendly, but I always g…
-
@Arkady - the application is invalid as the information submitted does not look sufficient given the scale of the application, and presumably doesn't satisfy national and Islington's application submission document requirements to have a valid appl…
-
@yagamuffin Personally I think 13% is too little. There is a shortage of housing, but there's as much shortage of affordable housing as normal, market rate housing, if not more, and this may be my old socialist university making an appearance, but p…
-
13% affordable housing in that FP station development, which makes me a bit sad. Now that a developer has been appointed, I think we'll now see another planning application to make changes to the approved scheme, to engineer out some of the more in…
-
@Ali - that application has been put together by someone who clearly doesn't know what they're doing. "A tidy site" is not a form of development, and their 3D sketches make it look like quite a considerable sized building, which I'm not sure retains…

The Railway did have an 'Acquired' sign on it a few weeks ago, although it doesn't striker me as a Starbucks location.
-
An application to replace the yellow car wash on SGR with something a bit fancy, although not exactly sure what from the application documents. Application number: P120603 http://www.islington.gov.uk/services/planning/planninginisl/plan_interest/P…

Just to continue on the slight tangent - anywhere in SG open tonight for dinner? (apart from Petek though, we've been there a few times recently). Back on topic though - we had a very nice fry up here a couple of weeks ago. Strangely The Dairy didn'…
