There is a lot going on around the area. Hero of Switzerland thread on this forum is about planning application opposed by many locals. The Grove Adventure playground thread is about saving the playground from being "developed" by the Council. The Loughborough Farm and the Platform are ongoing projects run by LJAG. In future the long term security of small businesses in the arches is gaurenteed. I know one thats gone and another waiting to see about new lease. They will then decide to stay or move somewhere cheaper. LJAG ( I'm no in it) is important local group.

Nice article about the Grove Advenute Playground by City Harvest. Lambeth Kids Empowered by Unity Cafe Cooked food has become an important part of the Grove APG. City Harvest have made this financially possible by donating food to the Grove APG. More on them here: City Harvest London - Giving Food Another Life
So... it would seem that Federation Coffee have taken the space that used to be the ticket office on the platform at LJ station. Looked like they were open / opening just now.
they were supposed to take it last year but it was put on hold with the tragic deaths of the graffiti artists
