Strange Erections...

(Thought that would get your attention, fnaar, fnaar...)

DarrenBentBent asks:

Any clues what the strange looking thing being built at the north end of Brookmill Park is? It could be anything from a funky new Arts space...

The Phantom replies:

I have a horrid feeling that what you are talking about is something we discussed a little while ago and have to bring you the bad news that it is a development of - wait for it - luxury flats.

Is this it?

If not, maybe someone has some better news for Darren. Maybe it actually IS a funky new arts space. Don't hold your breath, though, Darren...

Sadly they have had a lot of problems with vandalism, which has delayed the openings. I'm going to try and blog about it shortly.; 29 May 2007 17:36

About Me

Name: The Greenwich Phantom

Location: Greenwich, London, United Kingdom

Greenwich is one of the coolest "uncool" places there is in London. It's not profoundly unfashionable - rather somewhere where it doesn't occur to people that there is anything more than a few museums, a nice park and the Cutty Sark. The really adventurous might know about the Trafalgar Tavern or venture out to Greenwich market on a Sunday afternoon, but essentially, Greenwich is still relatively undiscovered for one of the great regions of London. I adore Greenwich - but I'm not blind to its faults either. In this journal I take an affectionate but honest - at times brutally so - look, giving my own personal low-down on the things to do - and one or two of the things NOT to do in Greenwich. I am being unashamedly parochial here. I will talk about the tourist sites, of course - how could I not when we have a World Heritage Site on our doorstep - but also about the things which make our town great - the little things. Interesting vistas, cool shops, bizarre novelties and quirky one-offs which make this place buzz. Greetings, by the way, to all of you who have travelled with me from Livejournal - and thank you for making the journey.
