Thread of merged messages about incidents outside ED

Thinking of escaping to family in Kent for a few days til this dies down-but I'm in Camberwell and unsure if the roads are open through Peckham, Lewisham etc which would be the usual route I would take?


If any one knows I'd be grateful if you respond.


Thanks.

I came onto the Forum just now to ask if anyone had heard that rioting had started in Camberwell. I work on Denmark Hill and a colleague has just mentioned this and that it is closed off. One of our security people went to the area and confirmed that it is true enough.

There have been a few police cars with sirens blaring along Barry Rd headed from the Peckham Rye end towards Dulwich Park end - is that the route they take to Camberwell? (genuine question, not being argumentative)

I just headed up (the side of) Rye Lane about 15mins ago. The atmosphere was getting tense, lots of groups of youths milling around at the bottom of choumert road, and someone was saying that "they are hitting the sorting office". Didn't stick around to see if it was true; turned around and had a swift march home.

I would avoid the routes that involve going through affected areas, as I think even cars with occupants have been attacked.


Is the A21 any good? Perhaps try going through Sydenham (currently unaffected, I believe):


Lordship Lane - right onto Sydenham Hill - striaght onto A2216 - straight/leftish onto A212 - right onto A2218 - right onto A21


Good luck

Hello,


Just thought I'd open this up to keep up to date on happenings today. I saw something on twitter about a garage being destroyed today in Forest Hill. Also heard a woman on her mobile (about 15 mins ago) at the park end of rye lane telling her son to stay indoors as she heard about a group of rioters moving down Queens Road peckham. May just be hearsay but thought it worth alerting people as the news agencies seem not to be too interested in the Peckham/ed area today...

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
