I've had an enquiry about this fading fascia that has been retained in situ at 74 Southwark Bridge Road, London SE1*.

It's a palimpsest for R. Sullivan (Wardrobe Dealer) and what someone once told me were metal workers A. Liechti

Very useful to attend the #Southwark Homeowners Conference 2026. Leaseholders are beyond frustrated, many are furious.

It’s an excellent forum for knowledge sharing & collaboration, plus pushing for real solutions to the mess many leaseholders face here.

Hats off to the organising team.

I would like to be able to say that this is only a #Lewisham problem but I moved from #Southwark and it was almost as bad there.

This picture was outside my last flat

I hate to see it and I hate to say it, because I love this city, but there is shit everywhere in London.

It was built to compete with the rival London, Chatham and Dover Railway, on the site of a medieval steelyard, the trading base in England of the Hanseatic League.

A bench in the green that can only be described as a piece of abstract art - pale green metal half circle, metal benches you could only slide off, attached by metal poles to metal shade structure.

I think I found the perfect example in #NunheadGreen, #Southwark.
