What's it like to live in Brixton / Brixton Borders

Thanks @dubtap - that was next on my list to go and check out.

Is that Villa's title hopes in the one on the bottom left?

The table doesn't lie, Andy.

@villa-ru How did you get to do that? I'm fascinated by cemeteries and catacombs (emo...), this sounds right up my street.

if you do go there - gimme a shout. i am 'round the corner

@hats - you need to be a friend of norwood cemetery (fiver) - they do the catacombs tours only occasionally, but do lots of general cemetery tours. I'm sure if you email them they can tell you when the next one is.

Not a reclamation place, but the Crystal Palace antiques warehouse might be worth checking out.

Aladdin's cave is pretty ace too.

There is an emmaus furniture warehouse in west norwood, always worth a look

Loving all these antique furniture stashes. I feel a ride coming on...

you're gonna need a bigger bike.

Emmaus is alright. The best time to visit Norwood's furniture store is when it's Feast. All the good stuff comes out then.

Emmaus has arguably the largest selection of VHS movies in christendom.

the stairs to the downstairs bit is actually made up of hundreds of copies of 'Teen Wolf Too ' stuck together with the tears of the innocent. #norwoodfaxt

This thread should be re-named West Norwood 4 Lyf.

Great thanks, I'll do that. There's got to be some perks to living in the shithole that is West Norwood (sorry greenhell).

This thread should be re-named the 'I wish I lived in Brixton' thread.

Hmm, Brockwell Park Fireworks will be fenced off and cost £7 admission this year.

wut?

do they even fireworks lel?

Your favourite U75 has a thread on it (about the only palatable thing on there at the mo). FOI request got costings - ie. a massive fence and plans which were up for about 2 hours, before the events co sent them a legal letter getting the drawings taken down.

All fireworks will be towards Cressingham Gardens - so in a bowl away from general view. Ticketed entrance only.

I'll just stay in the flat and see it from 25m of height glory. Or go to the reej and moan.

sell tickets to your flat. for great profit and win!

Nice... If you're a longtime resident on benefits who wants to take their kids out for a cheap night of family lelz, you can fuck off!! Nice one, Lambeth...

fireworks can fuck off all together, frankly.

That sucks, they are also charging for the south bank fireworks this year

Can I get a refund when someone let's a firework off in the crowd(traditional greeting of brockwell park or so I'm told).

i hope it fucking rains.

Fireworks are for easily pleased simpletons.
