A high court dispute over a south London park shows the limits of private interests encroaching on public spaceA grassy south London oasis erupted into a turf war this week. From Monday, visitors to Brockwell Park would have seen calling cards left by both sides. The provocation? A sturdy 3-metre-high boundary fence, encircling large swathes of the 50-hectare (125-acre) stretch that has been designated for music festivals this summer. Daubed on the structure were signs of discord: graffitied messages in stark white lettering. “You fucked our park,” read one. “We fucked your wall.”Brockwell is now the hottest front in a conflict that has started to rear its head in the capital every summer.

3 d. ago Crystal Palace keep party going as Eze’s glorious goal wraps up win over Wolves

Afterparty at the Palace, a gala night at Selhurst Park. If the 2024-25 Premier League season has faced accusations of featuring far too little jeopardy, the result here mattered little but will be remembered for ever as the night Crystal Palace brought the FA Cup home to south London.For the record, Palace celebrated a win via two goals from Eddie Nketiah, a deflected free-kick and a late, glorious Eberechi Eze strike. In truth, the main event did not arrive until after full time with the end of Selhurst Park’s 101-year wait to show off a major trophy to fans. Eagles supporters can now dream of next season’s European tour, with the hope and expectation the precise but emotionally charged leadership of Oliver Glasner will lead them into that promised land.
