yes, the north circular has a large amount of derelict semis, i do wonder what the ones that are inhabited are actually worth (in fact, google, come here...i want you!)

I live about ten minutes' walk from Streatham High Road and was surprised that only one junction there was described in the report as beyond belief, as I can think of at least two (the Leigham Court one and the St Leonard's Church one) which defy all rationality.
Streatham High Road - I just think of immense emptiness, the perception that this part of town remains what it originally was: a glorified staging post midway between London proper and Croydon. You can get anywhere by bus from it, but there is nothing actually in it. Objectively, no worse than, say, Clapton Road or Camberwell New Road or the Vale in Acton or - well anywhere really.

Then again, right at the top of LCR you reach Crown Point with a grandstand view of London. You could imagine jumping into it and never landing.

Worse than before pedestrianisation: yes, definitely, and ugly and laughably badly paved and symbolic of the disastrous traffic scheme and all the rest, but I can think of two worse streets turning off it, and that's just on the east side (erm, yo, fo shizzy etc). These people should try to use the piss-drenched phone box on Market St at 9pm while the stench of rotting fish and blood drained from butchers' vans into the puddles hangs in the air and scary people throw up right outside the phonebox. Well, they shouldn't, I hope never to do so again.

And don't get me started on Park End Street...

And what bit of London is there a grandstand view of, exactly? Does Knights Hill not get in the way?

Also, do you know what happened to Proles For Modernism?
― Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 11:33 (twenty-two years ago)
Unfortunately, any cash that might have been put to good use in the area has been sunk into the Gunwharf development and the Spinnaker Tower.
Don't know what happened to Proles For Modernism. Their site doesn't look to have been updated recently.
