Shame! The proposed cafe bar at the old chippy has had it's planning applications turned refused. My neighbours were hoping it might put some extra "£poundage on their duplex"
The Tin Drum people, carefully watching the planning action, quickly withdrew their own application for a rival roof terrace. S'pose they will be buying the freehold of the closed launderette for a little bit of expansion of there own? Fairs fair here chums the arrival of the Tinny spawned a revival of the Dials so hats off.

Talking of launderettes the one at the roundabout is showing re-runs of the Simpsons nightly at six. It's fast catching on as "The comedy place to be.

" It's fun to pass by and see a shopful of washers laughing their socks off.
Welcome to the new children's bookshop just up from the Yeoman, Dials music on Prestonville Road and also welcome to big hit but long wait for food Dyke Road's Murasaki.

A few months back I had to admit to being mis-informed about the genorosity of Dials shopkeepers. The chrstmas lighting extravaganza turned out to be a spoof. Now a very, very sound source has revealed to me in advance of it's official launch, information that local Restauranteers are getting together to stage an outdoor International food festival. We're talking top Dials nosh. Italian. Japanese, Thai, Indian, Spanish English the whole magilla. This fest of fab food fun will be an annual event, so maybe seven Dials shopkeepers are the best in town after all.
Talking of top scran, our very own self named Wonder Bar is recommended on a German travel web site.

WonderBra in der Nahe von Seven Dial. hier geht's gans schlicht zu." sounds spot on to me. Nice one Alfie nice one son.
More planning application madness.

Have they no sense of fun? They were intended to be affordable penthouse apartments. If the Council doesn't watch out. we'll be forcing all the newly arrivinfg London gentry to Hastings and where will that leave the price of a Latte?
Did you know? Grace Eyre lived at 30 Compton Avenue, Eleanor Marx lived at 6 Vernon Terrace and Systems Electronics is closed on Wednesdays?
Last year we discovered the most incredible dates, on reading the box we found out they were picked, packed and distributed by our Jasmine's grocers at the Dials.

The downside is the devastating earthquake in Iran has destroyed thousands of acres of their date plantations.

Bin problem? What bin problem? Thing is what are the Bath Street foxes going to feed on now?
Our very own charity collector outside the ever-spacious co-op is soon to be celebrating two years continuous daily service. Your generous support has made this possible. Congratulations.
