What are they doing in…? Erith & Thamesmead. Greenwich & Woolwich. Greenwich Council’s belated support for small businesses. All 20 of them. The Greenwich Council cabinet meeting of July 23. Passed without much comment last month, probably because one of the most interesting parts of the agenda was heard in closed session. The cabinet have resolved to buy a 2.3 acre site at 82-86 Nathan Way. The Charlton Riverside is one such area due for massive change in the years to come. After many years as an EU...

The Deptford Dame: July 2015
http://deptforddame.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Friday, 17 July 2015. Convoys Wharf - homes at last! I've been planning to write a post about all things Convoys Wharf for the last couple of months; events last weekend have finally given me the nudge I needed to actually get on with it. A day or so later they had relocated to the inside of the warehouse. I guess those doors just swung open in that windy weather we had. The gates on Grove Street are now wide open and the site has officially been declared a home by its current residents. The guards sit i...

The Deptford Dame: Asda coming to Deptford High Street
http://deptforddame.blogspot.com/2015/01/asda-coming-to-deptford-high-street.html
Wednesday, 14 January 2015. Asda coming to Deptford High Street. A tip-off last night alerted me to the licensing applications that are plastered all over 5-9 Deptford High Street (currently the cheap end of the row, the 99p Store). Apparently Asda is applying for a licence to sell alcohol from 7am to 12 midnight at the premises, suggesting that the 99p Store's days are numbered. So what will it mean for Deptford High Street, aside from the lurid green signage and even more places for cheap booze? Depend...

Urban Fox: January Retrospective
http://www.urban-fox.co.uk/2014/02/january-retrospective.html
Living Life in London. Saturday, February 01, 2014. It's the end of the first month of the year and more importantly for me the end of the first month of Project ME. I set myself a number of tasks. Some easy, some hard, some quick and others that would last the entire month. Use the gym and pool in our building at least once (Exercise). I have got into a regular routine now of using the pool at the weekends. I even invested in a swimming hat! Complete 1 sewing project (Craft). This one I painted by hand.

http://deptforddame.blogspot.com/2015/06/laurie-grove-baths-planning-application.html
Friday, 26 June 2015. Laurie Grove Baths planning application. A planning application to get excited about! Goldsmith's College has submitted a planning application for conversion of the old water tanks and service areas of the listed Laurie Grove Baths into a new gallery space. The initial plans were revealed last year, and the design by Assemble Studio and Alan Baxter and Associates has just been submitted to Lewisham Council. A number of new gallery spaces will be created, including one in the old wat...

The Deptford Dame: New cafe/bike shop for Deptford High Street
http://deptforddame.blogspot.com/2015/05/new-cafebike-shop-for-deptford-high.html
Sunday, 10 May 2015. New cafe/bike shop for Deptford High Street. I've never really quite understood the thing about bike shops with cafes - it's a fact that both bikes and coffee play a major part in my life, but other than parking my bike outside a cafe to have a good strong cappuccino, I find myself somewhat stumped. The new shop is right next to Tesco on Deptford High Street, a unit which has been empty for some time, so it's great to see it being brought back into use. Some may suggest that the open...

According to TFL, the following changes have been made to the scheme:. According to TFL the works are intended to be carried out 'between June...

The Deptford Dame: Brockley street art festival
http://deptforddame.blogspot.com/2015/06/brockley-street-art-festival.html
Monday, 1 June 2015. Brockley street art festival. Late to the party on this one - I managed to miss it in my previous post about the Brockley Max festival, which is probably because I wouldn't immediately associate Brockley with street art. That's just my ignorance of course - I always think of leafy green avenues with expanses of Victorian mansions when I think of Brockley, but like most of London it's much more than that. There's a live map on the website. As well as profiles of all the artists. Deptf...

Urban Fox: Hello Remember me?
http://www.urban-fox.co.uk/2014/01/hello-remember-me.html
Living Life in London. Monday, January 06, 2014. Or should that be, do I remember that I used to write a blog? I'll be honest, 2013 was not a great year and I didn't really fancy writing about it. I could list out all the crap that the year threw at us but to be honest I didn't want to write about it at the time and I still don't want to now. So why have I decided to come back? I was then told an anecdote on Boxing day that played on my mind for the rest of the Christmas break. So my "epics" are overarch...

Urban Fox: The Brighton Marathon
http://www.urban-fox.co.uk/2013/04/the-brighton-marathon.html
Living Life in London. Thursday, April 18, 2013. The big day came and went on Sunday. The weather on Saturday as I went to pick up my race number was horrendous filling me with fear for the Sunday. We lost another umbrella to the relentless winds that have battered the UK for months now. We gathered in the morning at Preston Park. It was raining and the rain from the day before created a festival atmosphere as everyone waded through the mud to the toilets and start points. I completed the marathon in a t...
