Bold Tendencies remains a public space open to all and a home to an ever-changing roster of visual art, poetry readings, music, dance, even the odd evening of opera. And in situ happily is Frank’s Cafe, serving the community since 2009 and described, many years ago, as a sort of Shoreditch House for south London but without the membership fees, swimming pool or the five-star frills. Fair observations. Noted, too, its socialite beginnings: founder Frank Boxer is a name; the writer Stephen Bayley’s daughter used to help out in the kitchen; Paloma Gormley designed the canopy that shelters drinkers from wind and rain.
