Tues 3rd March: Jon Newman - Vanishing Act: The Smaller Rivers of South London

Join local historian and author Jon Newman as he talks about the underground rivers of South London. The Effra, the Peck, the Heathwall and the Falcon Brook now all run in underground sewers, but their presence has shaped the suburban development of the area and played a defining role in the history of South London. Even now, when supposedly safely out of sight, they continue to impact the lives of people living south of the Thames. Don't miss what is sure to be a fascinating evening about the hidden history of our local area.

Location: Dulwich Books, 6 Croxted Road, West Dulwich, SE21 8SW

Time: 19.00 ? 20.30

Price: ?5 (Admission) / ?10 (Admission + a copy of The Heathwall)

  I agree with Head Nun. My experience is very similar and has been so for the 25 years I've lived in London. They got a lot worse after the Tour de France came here though. And then the Olympics.
- How do dispose of sharps bins

  You can request for them to come and collect your full bins again https://forms.southwark.gov.uk/ShowForm.asp?fm_fid=1879 They usually come on whatever day your rubbish/recycling collection day is. If you aren't going to be in, leave them somewhere that they can find it. If you don't need replacements, just leave a note on the full ones that a replacement isn't needed. They usually come quite early, so it's better to leave them outside if you can.

  Cyclists certainly do have a bit of a perception problem at the moment and when I cycle I see a lot of examples of arrogance and ignorance that gives all cyclists a bad name - it does seem that many cyclists have caught the entitlement bug many drivers seem to have.
