Popped in there and bought an Amaryllis stem because they're a bit of a Christmas tradition. The chap running it was really nice. Cost me the grand sum of £3.50 They're actually a well-established business that primarily do contract flowers for offi…

"Second hand books and general merchandise" sounds like a charity shop to me. Changing the license to A1 from A4 would indicate it won't have a cafe element, as I think you need an A3 license for that.

I'd love to know which one it is, because I don't find any of them particularly appealing. Genuine question, not being snarky.

Having looked into them it seems to be a direct retail outlet for Italian farmers and producers making this stuff. A little bit like a Mediterranean version of Farm Direct. So, I do hope your comment was made in jest, poxy. Wandering past last nigh…

Do you work for Mamachari, Stella? I like those bikes, very practical-looking. I qualified as a bike mechanic a couple of years ago. We have quite a lot of people at work who ride, and I'm nominated office bike mechanic. On a different note there ha…

I've just had a response from Liz Wathen, Traffic & Safety Manager, Environment and Regeneration, Islington Council. "At this stage in the Tollington Traffic Scheme consultation, I see no merit in arranging a public meeting, as we have asked for…

Again, not hard. They could do exactly what they do with planning meetings. Islington Town Hall main chamber, in the evening. It's open, accessible for all (disabled access), easy to reach via public transport. Babies are welcome, based on my attend…

They could have easily dropped leaflets to notify a public meeting to explain the proposals, taken on feedback, then consulted on the final scheme without adding much to the costs. And by doing so actually engage the community in the plans, rather t…

Richard Watts, the Tollington Ward councillor, has said that he will set up a face to face meeting to discuss the proposed changes with the offices involved.. He's on holiday at the moment, but when I know more I'll update the forum.

I'm not against the scheme, I just don't think it goes far enough. Cities should be pleasant places for people, not convenient layouts for cars. If it takes a few minutes longer to navigate back home via car but makes the area more pleasant to live …

In principle I have no problem at all with them enacting road closures to make residential streets unattractive to people rat-running in their cars. However, I've voted no to the scheme in it's current format, as it makes Marriott Road & Alming…

I emailed the contact address on Facebook to ask when they were going to open. Provided there are no last-minute hitches, they'll be in business the middle of next week.

This wasn't anything to do with the local councils. It was cancelled by the representative of British Cycling, the governing body that UK race organisers belong too.
-
There was a British Cycling Commissaire there who cancelled the races due to "safety concerns" apparently a cyclist who had nothing whatsoever to do with the races hit a bollard and needed medical attention. There are people saying that the individu…

Hi there Unfortunately I sold it a few weeks ago. Mike

I dropped in yesterday, they've been open for just over a week. The guys who set it up used to work at MiCycle in Islington. They are primarily focussed on servicing, and they operate a system where if you pay a small annual sub you get to use their…

I had a word with the Micycle Islington shop to find out more. Apparently they won't be opening for quite a few weeks, the recent bad weather has set back their building plans a bit. Interested to see what they do with the space.
-
That's a shame about 2WG. They were always good in my own experience. I did wonder if they were going to shift more to servicing, but I guess they can't compete with Evans. I've dropped into Micycle in Islington - I'm not sure what's mean by the "Ho…

It's also just had a total refurbishment that lasted 2 years, so the facilities should be bang up to date.

I use BT for the land line, but I've used Zen Internet as my ISP (www.zen.co.uk) for about 5 years and their service is excellent. In all that time I've had 2 issues. One was a hardware failure at the exchange, the other was BT doing something reall…

The Festival isn't happening this year. There's always been a problem getting sufficient numbers of people involved in the organisation of the event, and the bulk of the (substantial) work fell on the same small group. Also, the festival relied on d…

I can recommend the guys who are in the arches under the railway bridges right next to Finsbury Park. It's called The Joinery Shop. They built and installed wood double-glazed sash windows, french doors and a complete new staircase a few years ago w…

Dropped in with the missus this morning to give them a try. Excellent flat whites, and a very good bit of cake. I like the atmosphere and general vibe of the place. I'd agree with some of the other posters who rate it as the best coffee in the area…

My advice would be to the future occupants of the unit. Whatever you do, don't open a restaurant. I've lived in the era for a fair old while, and that is The Unit of Death. On a more cheery note, I see what used to be Heads Up on Tollington Park is …

Hiya, I might be able to help you out if you still need assistance. I'll drop you a line so I can get a bit more info and ask my work colleagues.
