| They have indeed connected two of the long arches by opening the connecting archways. Nothing to write home about I hear you say, ,I don’t agree, the vaster of blocked arches can be traced back to very close to where the original entrance to the catacombs was, they could theoretically open these bit by bit and this would restore the view through the catercoumes for which Camden market was once famous. |

I was at Camden market yesterday ,some one that is taking over the arch that the Rhythm café was using in the catacombs area said they are going to open up the connecting arches between the neighbouring tunnel,
Music to my ears, I was dismayed when I saw the connecting arches being blocked. |

Uh!!??
I thought the Stables had plenty of character before the developers got their bulldozers in  |

The ’dichotomy’ of the market’s downfall has more to do with the destruction of its integral character and historical architecture, caused by the insidious development inflicted by Richard Caring, Bebo Kobo, etc... purely out of greed.
Sadly developers have taken the Stables beyond redemption & in 10 years time there’ll be only memories of something which English Heritage should have valued & fought to protect.

The ground floor brick work inside the Stables market goods yard is superb ,and its hard to see how that could have been done any better , and is the most successful aspect of the developments, in keeping with the old parts of the market the only upper floor above the rebuilt arches that look any good are the opaque pastel coloured ones with small windows facing the railway, the glass frontages facing the horse hospital are a over bearing to put it mildly, those squire glass and steel panels to keep the rain out are ugly, and the glass stalls running along the wall by the horse hospital completely hide the brick work behind
Which is a shame .
around the horse tunnel they seem to have done a complete hatched job,
Which leads to the Gilgamesh building, which is the most unsuccessful part of the redevelopment,
I notice they put that big statue by the Gilgamesh building, all this does is compound the failings of the building behind .
if character is what they wanted they shouldn’t have commissioned such a banal corporate looking building, which is the Dichotomy of the whole redevelopment. |

Rumour that Bebo is selling the Stables/Canal etc... to the Chinese perhaps?
Good timing - show potential buyers the rents coming in at high season when there’s not so many empty units as normal. That also explains why he’s running around increasing everyone’s rents!
Looks good on paper, eh Bebo ;) |

The SCSMC would like to send best regards to Roi, and wish him & his family well.
Roi, we know you will read this post at some point, & want you to know that you are already missed, and those who’ve known you for many years are quite aware of the craziness you took on following Sim’s departure.
For those of you who are unaware of the facts, Roi truly did his utmost to help traders, but he had an irrational boss & needed to keep his job.
You’re well out of it Roi, have a great life  |
