Comments[edit]

I just thought someone might add a bit about Wormwood Scrubs. There's a reference to it in the song, Down in the Tube Station at Midnight by the Jiz. And maybe someone could explain the significance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kenneth3 (talk • contribs) 04:32, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wormwood Scrubs isn't a neighbourhood, but some kind of park adjacent to a notorious prison of the same name - I think.

Not sure who wrote the above, but the website here makes quite clear what it is. This is a typical "cobbled-together" article, which doesn't look at basics first, so this is the result! Peter Shearan 10:47, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is quite a fascinating article (at least it is now after revisions). I live nearby and would also like to see pie. something added about the biodiversity of the area (the rare common lizard resides in the Scrubs as do parakeets, woodpeckers and many other species of birds).

Could someone add a note about the annual Tent City, if this institution (?) still exists?Britmax 09:28, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tent City no longer exists. It is now just a concrete area with some picnic benches. The frame of one building still stands. It was torn down when Tent City's lease ran out and the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham were worried about the structural soundness of the building Chrisfow 02:20, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Big clean up[edit]

Added subsections to make article structured. Added entire history section. Cleaned up original spelling and grammar. Removed dropped links or irrelevant external links and added more relevant ones Chrisfow 15:55, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Little Wormwood Scrubs[edit]

The article mentions the bomb found on Little Wormwood Scrubs. The little and the big scrubs were physically separated when the railway embankment was build. Should these now be two separate places. They are also now in two separate boroughs. Sciencefish 11:21, 24 December 2006 (UTC) 8====D--- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.116.236.2 (talk) 17:31, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
