'Shrimp Shack in south London is a seafood lover's dream and I'm hooked for more' - Surrey Comet

Shrimp Shack is a spacious, radiant seafood-centric restaurant which offers a refreshing and quirky take on traditional shrimp dishes and is open seven days a week.

My housemate and I headed to the all-new location on Monday night and were amazed at the décor, service, and of course, the shrimp.

The restaurant's layout is thoughtfully designed, with ample seating arrangements suitable for intimate dinners or lively gatherings with friends and family.

The Metropolitan Police were called by London Fire Brigade to a multi-occupancy house in Glenister Park Road, Streatham, shortly after 7pm on Sunday, where they found a 49-year-old man dead inside.

On Monday a 34-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of murder and arson with intent to endanger life.

She remains in custody at a south London police station.

The man’s next of kin have been informed and are being supported by family liaison officers.

Police have appealed for witnesses and said they are treating it as an isolated incident.

Residents protest against new Low Traffic Neighbourhood trial in Streatham - Surrey Comet

Valley Road is part of a group of streets that make up Lambeth Council’s Streatham Wells Low Traffic Neighbourhood trial.

As part of the trial, only buses and taxis are able to enter Valley Road from both ends, with motorists who take the same route facing a fine of £130 from next Monday.

Locals say the signs are difficult to see, and argue that the introduction of the LTN has made traffic on the surrounding streets worse.

Julian Heather, 69, said that the LTN had been introduced “without proper consultation”.
