South London blog Brockley Central has blogged before and after pictures of a regeneration project in Tower Hamlets to show what can be achieved in their area.
The photos of the project, which a Brockley resident played a leading role in, were uploaded to highlight similar potential in the Brockley Road and Lewisham Way area of the south London suburb.
Brockley Central points out that our streets make a major contribution to our prosperity and quality of life, yet too often we accept the ‘crappy status quo’ as though any other reality is impossible.

The campaign to turn an old bingo hall on Camberwell Green back into a cinema is stepping up a gear, South London Press reports.
The future of the Gala Coral building is up for grabs and a planning application for change of use pits the Christian organisation leasing the building against those who believe that Walworth and Camberwell need more arts venues.

A retro craft shop, which doubles as a bar, has reopened permanently at a serially vacant lot on Caledonian Road, Kings Cross Local Environment reports.
Drink, Shop & Do was a hit as a temporary venture in December 2009, with its curious mix of cocktails, knitting and other craft activities, board games and vintage furniture.
On Saturday, the address which used to be a sex shop and originally a Victorian bathhouse, became part of Caledonian Road’s burgeoning ‘cake strip’. A calendar of craft activities will follow, pending the necessary licences.
