sw9/sw2 controversy - addendum!

[editor]

Anywhere outside of this area might as well be Brighton as far as he's concerned.

Well, parts of SW2 practically are!

Fuck me, I've just deleted a message saying bet he's never been in the Elm Park Tavern, proper boozer

They were all absolutely langered in there at 7pm on Saturday
I'd taken me Ma and Da in there, and had to introduce them to pissed people

It was ace, now my folks think I'm some sort of "face" in there

Me? Been there many times, chum.

But it's not my idea of a Saturday night out.

 

[twistedAM]

Try 'Brixton Live Music'

you needed the help of Birkbeck College

 

[christonabike]

Thought you might, haha

Saturday was rocking in there, from about six forty five, until a quarter to eight

Chum? Do I look like dog-food?

 

[twistedAM]

oh and lest we forget the Sultan...cool beer garden

 

[Jonti]

what about SE24?

"Poet's Corner"?

Railton Road

 

[Skim]

I'm determined to make the Loughborough Junction end of SE5 into "Brixton". As far as I'm concerned, it's the Brixton suburbs. Or "Brixton Heights", if you will.

 

[TeeJay]

So has anyone published the definitive map of where Brixton's borders are?

I'll start the bidding with where Shakespeare Road hits Railton Road, all the poets and very end of Dulwich Road up to Brixton Water Lane, being the border with Herne Hill...

...I'll leave the haggling about Tulse Hill, Brixton Hill, the *ahem* Claphams, Stockwell, Oval/Kennington and Loughboro' Junction to others...

 

[Termite Man]

SW9 is Stockwell and Brixton , luckily I live on the good side but IIRC poor estender lives on the BAD side .

And isn't SW2 covered by Brixton , Herne Hill and Streatham so it's more diluted than SW9 meaning SW9 is proportionally more Brixton !

Obviously The stockwell border is where the sign telling you your entering stockwell on the Stockwell Road !

 

[Brixton Hatter]

I believe that the name 'Brixton' comes from Brixes Stane or "Brix's Stone". This apparently was a massive marker stone that some ancient old Lord Brix left in the area before he went off on a crusade or something. The stone was left to show that he was the Lord of the area IIRC. It was placed somewhere on Brixton Hill.... so i guess wherever that is, is the true heart of brixton

But we're all fighting among ourselves! SW2 and SW9, unite and fight for our very own distictive postcode! What about B1? Stick it to all those Cla'aahm Tallulahs, Streatham chavs and Dulwich dullards!

Rushcroft Road, SW2?

Unless I had a different postcode to everyone else on the street

SW9 does have its own eponymously titled bar of course

that's because they're too unimaginative to come up with a decent name. If it hadn't been called SW9 it would have been Bah something or other Bah

 

[TeeJay]

But postcodes are sooooo last century darling!

Its all about which local broadband pipeline/exchange and wifi network you can connected now, in't?

yes, but it's shit and like cunt soup inside.
