The story of the campaign against Haringey's HDV

There is now a book that's just come out about the scheme for the Haringey Development Vehicle by the council, and the campaign which grew up against it from community organisations and residents all over the borough. It's by a couple of researchers from University College, and features interviews with a number of locals whose names you may recognize. If you follow the link below you can read or download a free pdf of the whole book called Disrupting the Speculative City, it's not long. It…

A team from Lotus descended on some garages behind Alexandra Park Road yesterday with a little modified Austin 7, which turned out to be a replica of the original Lotus Mark 1. They were celebrating 75 years since it was built by Colin Chapman in one of these same garages, owned by his girlfriend's parents.

Posted by Susie Holden on October 29, 2022 at 4:06pm

Yesterday afternoon I went to the Estorick Collection in Canonbury Square, just a few minutes walk from Highbury and Islington station. It is a lovely place to visit and has six galleries over three floors plus a cafe with tables in a quiet garden area. The Estorick Collection is housed in a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse overlooking Canonbury Square, and it opened in 1998 with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund. There…

Friday nite at the ArtsFest - intriguing cabaret

Posted by Alex King on September 3, 2022 at 11:17am

Yesterday evening at the All Good Bookshop - artists making evocative sounds with strange instruments, film, poetry and story-telling. The idea - described by our MC and theremin (what?) player - came from the outrageous Cabaret Voltaire: Zurich 1916, where artists got together to work out what they should still say while the world burned in the First World War. The question remains relevant.

The acts used projections, music and words in various combinations which are not easy to…
