Number 37 Bus


JW

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anybody knew why the TFL website is telling me that the best way to get to Clapham Common tonight is to get the 185 to Oval and then take the tube? Do the current roadworks in Brixton make the 37 a slower option at the moment?


I'm in NCR and I need to get to Clapham Common for 7pm tonight.


Thanks folks!

I've also noticed TfL never suggest using the 37, more so than other odd suggestions it sometimes gives. If I know a route that I trust I just use that and ignore TfL, it's only useful for destinations you're unfamiliar with and even then you have to go through the hassle of pointing out that you can walk faster than a snail and would rather not pay for 3 buses plus a train!


Or just cycle, http://london.cyclestreets.net is a much better journey planner for us two-wheeled folk.

I've just tried it on East Dulwich Grove to the Green Man, Putney (the 37 terminus).


The direct route, nominal 50 minutes, was the third offered. Next best was twice the time. But the commentary did warn of possible severe delays due to both gas and water main roadworks.


At its best, very early morning, it can be a nice 35 minute journey

Hey does anybody have any idea how long the 37 will take from LL to Lambeth Town Hall in Brixton? I need to get there for 9.15 ish tomorrow morning and, yet again, TFL is proving useless!


Thanks a lot!

    • 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.
