Society’s misogyny problem runs deeper than men like me realise | British GQ
... I ran up the Old Kent Road, sucking in the warm fug of Routemaster and rotisserie, before bopping through Borough with Britney Spears booming in my ears then ducking down into the labyrinth of railway arches and tunnels that snake their way from Blackfriars to Kennington. The late afternoon sun left a spray of incandescent rays as it dipped behind the Tate Modern. ...
... As I padded through the dark streets of Kennington, stretching off my calves, I realised that I’d not been properly listening to these women – the people I love most in the world – instead keeping myself preserved in the aspic of privileged ignorance, absolved of doing anything to help enact a real change.

... Starting today, Kennington station is switching from a Zone 2 station to a mixed Zones 1 and 2 station, in readiness for the opening of the Northern line extension. ...
... The change also benefits people in Kennington, as they now would only pay for a Zone 1 fare to go into central London, instead of Zones 1 & 2. A typical adult single pay as you go trip into Zone 1 will be reduced from £3 in the peak to £2.40. ...
... Although TfL could have put Kennington station in Zone 1 rather than into a combined Zone 1/2, that would have raised fares for Kennington residents travelling south, so the combined zone agreement ensures fares won’t go up because of the change. ...
... As more people return to the transport network, changing Kennington to a Zone 1/2 station will benefit local residents, ensuring that they get the best value fare no matter which direction they are travelling in.” ...

Brixton history – cable-hauled tram on Brixton Hill in late Victorian times – Brixton Buzz
Brixton history – cable-hauled tram on Brixton Hill in late Victorian times – Brixton Buzz
... The Metropolitan company’s line between Brixton, Gresham Road and the ‘Horns Tavern’, Kennington opened in May 1870, the lines later extending to the junction of Water Lane, and to the south bank at Vauxhall, Westminster and Blackfriars Bridges, Waterloo Road and St George’s Church, Borough. ...
... In 1890, the Company decided to build a cable line from Kennington to Telford Avenue, replacing horse power between Brixton and Kennington, the line opened in 1892, and was extended south to Streatham Library in 1895.
Passengers travelled in the Company’s standard double deck, open top trams, the horses changing places at Kennington with a ‘dummy’ or ‘gripper’ car which hauled the tram over the cable section of route. ...
... A large depot and ‘winding house’ was built on Streatham Hill, opposite Telford Avenue, with winding gear powered by coke burning boilers. A small depot at Kennington had space for two or three ‘dummy’ cars and a number of horses. ...
... In the late 1890s, the need for a separate ‘dummy’ car to haul the passenger cars seems to have been called in to question, and the passenger cars were gradually adapted so that cable gripping equipment could be placed under a southbound tram at Kennington, and controlled from the front platform. ...
... The survivor of the cable car network is the small depot at 20 Brixton Road, Kennington. It served briefly as an electrical sub-station for the new trams, but was sold off in the late 1920s, and became a Temperance Billiard Hall, with a shop (in 1934 Hannibal Matthews, fruiterer) in the front central arch. ...

8 Albert Embankment Appeal reference APP/N5660/V/20/3254203
Friday, 07 May 2021
Secretary of State, Rt Hon Robert Jenrick MP

Dear Mr Jenrick MP
8 Albert Embankment Appeal reference APP/N5660/V/20/3254203
I write to ask you to please REFUSE planning permission for the proposed development at 8 Albert Embankment
This is another seriously flawed proposal that will negatively impact on our neighbourhood forever if allowed to proceed.
Lambeth Council cares not a hoot for Kennington, a neighbourhood that is much loved and precious to so many of us, despite attempts to ravage us by local and London-wide authorities over the years.
Please will you speak up for us and act in the best interests for our community now and for generations to come?
Yet again, Lambeth Council’s support for this proposal is misguided at best and, in my opinion, grossly incompetent.
For your scrutiny, the poor folks at Lambeth Village have gone to great lengths to elaborate in detail the negligence of the Council’s casework and I strongly urge you to fully consider their points.
Personally, I think it is shocking that public authorities can act in such an obscene manner as to force local people, including so many unpaid volunteers, to the extremes of stress and despair, damaging our wellbeing and causing mental harm, in order to protect our neighbourhood from these gross proposals that would destroy the heritage, amenity and even plunge the community into darkness with these monstrous proposals.
I note that a similar ridiculous proposal for another enormously-high building at 250 Kennington Lane (20/03832/FUL - 250 Kennington Lane and 2 - 10 Dolland Street London SE11) was knocked back with this note from the developers:
After nearly two and half years of discussions with Planning Officers, regrettably, the team reached an impasse on daylight sunlight impacts. This was the only issue, but Officers advised that they would be unable to support the proposal unless the scheme was substantially reduced, which rendered the development completely unviable.
Are Planning Officers finally beginning to learn and pay attention, perhaps?
Sadly, similar local carbuncles are slipping through the system and may well find their way to your desk, such as the site in Montford Place (20/01086/FUL Land to the East of Montford Place, Kennington London SE11 5DE) and there are others.
I hope you will give the matter now before you suitable attention and scrutiny and REFUSE.
Yours sincerely
Cathy Preece
235B Kennington Lane SE11 5QU
