Brixton’s saddest Santa

Spotted outside the Hootenanny pub on Effra Road, SW2 was this tragically legless – and headless – Santa.

I’m done moaning about the lamentable state of the Christmas decorations around Brixton – just look at these photo comparisons between 1911 and 2006 and you’ll see how bad it’s become – but at least Morleys, Brixton’s oldest department store, continues to make a sterling effort.

Here’s their impressively large tree outside the store. Fine effort Morleys!
