Brixton property is bubbling up as champagne bar opens - London - News - London Evening Standard

Brixton property is bubbling up as champagne bar opens - London - News - London Evening Standard: "Brixton is to get its first champagne bar in the latest upmarket opening in the area.

The arrival of Champagne + Fromage on October 15 comes after estate agent Foxtons opened a branch in the area, which is also due to get a Waitrose.

The latest openings have fuelled fears that rents could rise, forcing long-established independent traders out of Brixton"

X&Y
By Twin Primes Theatre Company
What is the shape of the universe? Is it finite or infinite?
In their new show X&Y, Marcus du Sautoy and Victoria Gould use mathematics, humour and theatre to navigate the known and unknown reaches of our universe. Through a series of surreal episodes, characters X and Y, trapped in a world they don’t understand, tackle some of the biggest philosophical and scientific questions of our time.
Based on an idea developed with Complicite.
