Head on over to charltonchampion.co.uk to see Charlton’s newest blog – The Charlton Champion. After last month’s musings on whether or not Charlton could sustain a blog dedicated to life within SE7, I decided to give it a try.

One thing I should make clear is that I intend it to have a very different personality to 853 – less chippy, more constructive, and hopefully with a broader range of authors than just me. If you’re interested in taking part, I’d love to hear from you. There’ll inevitably be a little bit of overlap between the two blogs, but in future all the “local stuff for local people” in and around my immediate neighbourhood will be over there. It’s all a bit of a work-in-progress – but hopefully we’ll have something valuable within a few months. I hope you enjoy it.
