Jesus wept.

Thanks - yes, Telegraph rather than Tavern...apols

Defo seems to be under some sort of construction - was in the garden cntr opposite yesterday and it had scaffolding outside. Good news that it is decent - always used to be, although admittedly haven't been there for about ten years

Anyone have any idea what the plans are for the Railway Tavern on the St Circ in F/H?

The rents point came from a conversation with the greengrocer who mentioned the rent levels and the rates prices.
Re the ownership thing it would be interesting to know who owns the most properties as that might explain the high rents. No accusation of racketeering or anything ; )

Sorry, I think my repost, and the very good images provided by Lee, crossed in the ether somewhere so I hadn't seen them. I suppose I am all in favour of maintaining the uniformity of the High St architecturally, so I am probably pretty happy with that in many ways. Part of me wanted to have somethi...

Ok so any idea what is going to be built?

Thanks you Tim - the whole thing seems very mysterious indeed. I might ask one of the local agents, or basically Property World who owns it - they are bound to.
The company on the title seems to be based in Fulham. Odd.

Where are you getting those rumours from?

Quite extraordinary that there seems to be nothing going on there. I guess access for heavy vehicles will cause havoc on the high street, but surely something must go on there - too valuable.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about lack of housing in London and obviously huge house price levels, I just wondered what is going on with that plot and why it seems to have been derelict for so ...

I can massively recommend Leo Sherbinsky and his team. They have done a lot of work for us over the years - an entire refurb of both of our houses we have had in Sydenham in Highclere St and Knighton Pk Rd. Leo can be contacted on 07919 532451 - he is tricky to get hold of due to how busy he is - sa...

Thanks biscuitman - I have been a resident of SE26 for about 8 years, and often go onto the forum to have a quick browse over the odd discussion, particular fave topics have been the plethora of chicken shops, lack of trees (improving) and a few others, but nothing has quite annoyed me as much as th...

Is there any reason why Lewisham planners can't just put a gun against Purelake's head: "Unless you sort it out by X date, we will bring [x] prosecution against you for failing to rebuild. We don't give a stuff about the nature of the commercial agreement you come to with the other partiers, o...
