After the reduction in service on Route 12 recently, since Sunday 11th August until November 9th the service will only operate between Whitehall Horseguards Parade and Dulwich Library only, except between midnight and 6am where it'll run to Oxford Circus.


The bus is also on diversion from St Thomas Hospital to Whitehall via Victoria Embankment.

This is a bloody joke! don't they think anyone in our area needs to travel to the west end for work daily and perhaps for financial reasons or others (one friend since the london terror attacks years ago refuses to use the tube, another gets claustrophobic) do not use trains and tubes.

Why wasn't this widely publicised?

And who can we complain to?

In a tube strike this is the only other option I have to get to work without many changes.

The closure is due to the installation of pedestrian protection measures on Westminster Bridge and Bridge Street. In light of terrorist attacks in the area this seems pretty important. Perhaps you can find another way to get to the West End. 176 gets quite close.

Exactly - it is the glacial pace of workmen in the UK employed by the State (at council or national level) which is the issue here. E.g. the closure of Crystal Palace Road for close to a month to achieve (I would guess when we see the finished job) a minimal change. Or the well-over-a-year to reimagine the Lewisham roundabout. When I travel abroad I can be held up by a mile long section of roadworks on the way down south, to find the whole thing complete a fortnight later on my return. In the UK we would be seeing 18 month warnings about delays.

Rye Lane was finished way ahead of schedule so maybe this will be (they may estimate worst case)


Our cladding is another story LOL (sorry off topic).

Whitehall is beyond Westminster Bridge.

It's on diversion via another bridge so bus is probably to knackered by the time it gets to Whitehall

According to TFL it terminates BEFORE Westminster Bridge.


"BRIDGE STREET, SW1: Buses are diverted until 05:00 Saturday 9 November due to borough works on Bridge Street. Route 12 starts and terminates at St Thomas Hospital/County Hall daily between 06:00 and 23:59."

Not from what I saw, buses were blinded for Whitehall on Tuesday.

      Recommendation for Phil – FourPawsDoors – Cat Flap Fitter

      By cat woman · Posted

      I highly recommend Phil at Four Paws doors for fitting a pet door. He has recently fitted a new microchip door for me in a very awkward tight spot. He came up with a solution for the problem of how to fit it within the space and supplied the appropriate flap as well as fitting it. The work was done within a couple of days of my initial enquiry. He was very friendly and helpful throughout and did not make a fuss despite having to work hunched under a desk and hitting his head several times!!!  His indepth knowledge was really beneficial and so much better than getting a general handyman to do it.  http://www.fourpawsdoors.co.uk/ m. 07814 406010

      Traffic shaking the gaff!

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      Cars are getting bigger and heavier (new cars have become so bloated that half of them are too wide to fit in parking spaces designed to the minimum on-street standards. The average width of a new car in the EU and UK passed 180cm in the first half of 2023, having grown an average of 0.5cm each year since 2001). Speed enforcement is also pretty rare in practice and according to DfT stats, under free-flowing traffic conditions, 50% of car drivers exceed the speed limit on 30mph roads. Hopefully we'll see regulation to stop the car bloat arms race, and perhaps moves to use the same geolocation speed limiters deemed essential for electric hire scooters, but not currently SUVs. Would certainly be more effective and cause less noise, pollution and damage than speed bumps. Also the cost gets passed to the manufactures, rather than public authorities.

      Half Moon Montessori Nursery: amazing! opposite Judith Kerr

      By Yorkie123 · Posted

      Another recommendation for Half Moon- my youngest daughter attended and it was by far the best nursery we’ve ever experienced. The teachers are just wonderful and they care so much for the children (who, in return, love them to bits). There’s also a very low staff turnover, so there’s real stability and continuity for the children. My daughter left each day so happy and proud to show me what she’d learnt. It’s amazing!

      Did you take the car number? Otherwise the council wil have to look through it for an address.
