What you gonna do with a railway arch?

If you find out who to talk to enlighten us. I quite fancy one meself now you've mentioned it :)

A friend of a friend of a friend bought one in camberwell i believe. I'll try and find out, but as it's a long chain - don't old your breath.

I went to a gig there. They were squating there and were doing a kind of fundraising gig. One arch had a kitchen and bedrooms and stuff, the other was used as the venue. several bands played and the sold beer and stuff. Apparently they needed to raise the money for the dpeosit to buy the thing the next day or be victed or something like that.

It can be done.

Living in a railway arch must be so cool.

It's mainly for a personal project that may turn into a long term commercial venture. The more rundown it is and remote the better to be honest.

I can't find anything on the Internet.

A good place to start would be either local housing associations or the local councils websites.

On there you will find a contact who rents local garages / lockups etc. That person won't be able to lease you an archway, but in his line of work should be in a position to let you know who would.

Failing that, find a couple of units in a railway arch and go and ask them who their land lord is and ask for a phone number.

Hope that helps.

I don't think your mate would appreciate your posting his number on the Internet, but you've got it wrong anyway (0872xxxxxxx isn't a valid decode)!

Why can some people not let jokes with some inacuracies go?

So you want it for a crack house then?

lol ManG.

I think him and his brother want a to set up a mechanics so that they can have a job close to the local where their fancy lady sharon works. I predict tears, punch-ups and bad storylines involving the reincarnation of Lesley Grantham.

@andrewc

God the people in the square aren't gonna be happy with you, lol

Going by his general posts I wouldnt be suprsied if Charliep has never watched Eastenders in his life and took you post at face value.

That's probably to charliep's credit.
