West Hampstead has public toilets. Frankly, they’re magnificent. 🚻 Down beneath West End Green: tiled walls,fabulous old ironwork,huge ceramic basins and a resident attendant. Free to use and cleaner than a few local establishments I could mention 😁 Have you ever been down?

Salt Lounge in West Hampstead is no more as a nightclub. After a long, and sometimes troubled, late-night history at 269 West End Lane, it’s under new ownership and becoming HOUSE OF SK, a private events space. I can find no recent Camden licensing review forcing the change.

Interesting at The Alliance today. Activity at the pub this afternoon, with police entering the premises and a very prominent PUB TO LET board now appeared above the frontage. Hopefully another step towards seeing The Alliance reopen as a pub. #WestHampstead #SaveTheAlliance

Interesting to see Salt Lounge asking residents what they'd like to see if it were no longer a nightclub. Suggestions include a café/lounge,live music,comedy,wellness,family activities, community events. A significant site on West End Lane. Interested to see where this leads.

A handwritten notice has appeared in the window of The Alliance pub stating that the property has been occupied by squatters. Note also refers to Section 144 LASPO,which does not apply because it is a commercial property, also warns anyone forcing entry will have police called.

For my lovely Kilburn travellers, a note to say West end lane is going to have some major water works happening soon due to burst water main which is tearing up the surface of the road @LifeInKilburn @thameswater – at Camden Town, London

It is very dominant relative to building proportions. Feels aggressive, especially in a conservation area with Victorian facades above.

Some visible changes at Poke Shack on West End Lane, West Hampstead. Looks like the “Coming Soon” signage may be coming down! Small area of external decking also now in place. The council is currently investigating whether the current use matches the approved plans.
I assumed that Poke Shack on West End Lane was going to be a proper shop but now I’m thinking it’s just a dark kitchen for delivery only??

New AveAnAvo on West End Lane looks brilliant, very #NW6. Better than all the burger joints and a return to the days of Ham?! Let’s hope the food is as good the fit out looks!

The council has confirmed this is now a planning enforcement case (EN26/0174), and is under investigation.

In the 2024 planning decision notice, the officer specifically reports "deliveries are reduced" - but as it now appears to be operating mainly as a delivery outlet, would new planning permission be required, cannot see further application for 255 WEL? @JGrauberg

Astonishing we have a unit in a prime location on a busy high street being used as a dark kitchen. I guess the size of the unit presents a challenge.

I'd asked staff in store and at the time they said that site would not become a whole foods.
