It's a bit out the way for me but I always pop in there when going the Jai Chrishna (although that particular venue is 'on hold' for me, pending the next scores-on-the-doors rating).
The ale selection is great. When I commented on this, the owner …
Alan - I'm looking into a certificate of lawfullness issue right now in Islington and have found some jaw-dropping incompetence and dodgy goings-on in the process. Whisper me your email address ?
I'd imagine that environmental health could intervene. But if its a case of someone not being able to manage their house due to illness or age, you could ask social services to have a look. If it's as bad as you say on the outside, it could be as ba…
@Richard While this development does classify in the 'Excellent' BREEAM band, it does so by a few 1/10ths of a percent.
>> How about something a bit more exciting like the new City North?!
With regards to BREEAM, the City North development …
Anyone know when this City North application will appear at a planning hearing? I don't know much about the process, but I believe that's what happens next. Would I need to attend to ensure my points are heard, or is just submitting formal comments …
Harringayonline is a true hyperlocal site, same as Stroudgreen is. As Hugh pointed out to me, (I hope I've got this right) the site is primarily focused on the area (village?) of HarringAY rather than the borough of HarringEY, so there shouldn't be …
As mentioned elsewhere, there are more images of street views and other projections here
I'd love to be proved wrong, but it just looks like a overwhelming lump to me, perhaps with a hint of spaceship.
I have a recollection of looking at the saugages with a raised eyebrow having tasted a dubious bit. Dubios as in far-from-fresh or slightly raw tasting, take your pick. Quite annoying really. Previously they had a woman chef there who did an amazing…
By comparison, The City North application had all the docs attached from the off. I've emailed matthew.rosel@islington.g.... to ask if they can be attached.
Hmmm...Blackstock road. I was cycling home north along Blackstock Road 18th Nov 2009 (Algerian World cup qualifier) when I hit a load of traffic. As I got to the front there was a handful of policemen and women, stopping traffic from proceeding. Fut…
First time I went here must have been about 2006(?) when I think it new-ish. It was great, really good stuff. From that point on there seemed to be a slight decline. In about Dec 2007 which I think was the last time we ate-in, we brought friends too…
@Mirandola You'll find some detailed discussion of PFI works and other borough-wide issues relating to LBI and Homes For Islington on www.islingtonresidents.org.uk, you can signup for email updates.

@Richard Your points about Sustainable homes standards (4 vs 6) are similar to some of my comments about the City North plans.
I also thought that many of the drawings failed to show the side profile of the John Jones design in relation to the nei…
Not sure if my previous post about Scottish Power was moderated(?) or if I just didn't get round to posting it, but in any case - I have a similar view to Tasmin. IMHO Scottish Power were keeping us heavily in credit (£150+) via a variable direct de…
It all starts somewhere. The payback will increase as manufacaturing processes evolve, and not all systems are equal.
>> You're better off reducing consumption through improved efficiency.
What happens when you've done that and it's still n…
Same here. I'm not against the redevelopment, but I raised questions over:
1) Not being notified of the planning application even though I live very close.
2) The design appears to score relatively poorly in grading points/awards relating to Co2 em…
Anyone wish concerns about this planning application needs to put it in writing asap:
