If you live in other parts of London (outside of SE), you're usually close to a tube (or a docking station, or a superhighway). So it's hardly surprising that most don't feel it necessary to have a car.

Check out the WebCAT tool. Pretty much an hour minimum to get into central London from ED on public transport. With kids, longer.

I have the Sony rx100 iii and would recommend it.

Thanks all. Is it usually OK finding a free space outside the tube at around 8 O'clock?

Where is the best / safest place to leave a bike when getting the tube in the morning?

Please can we have some improvements in public transport. A tube, secure bike parking at tube stations at least. Extension of hire bike scheme. A cycle super highway? a reliable and regular train service? Something. Then I'll happily accept the 'stick' of car scrapages etc.

maybe Crystal Palace Festival?

Kind of feels like there should already be one by now. Any predictions?

There is nothing wrong with having a party, but it's only polite to speak to your neighbours in advance (which it sounds like they did in this case). East Dulwich is not the city, it is very much a suburban, residential area.

I thought Lush were a 90s indie band

Sounds eminently reasonable tbh.

It's totally unreasonable to have an all night party in a quiet residential street without speaking to your neighbours in advance. The fact that the noise team shut it down also speaks volumes (excuse the pun). I think the OP was lucky that it was midnight and not later on in the night as (ironically) the noise team close up shop much after that.

Genuine question - do they allow local schools to use their facilities (as in the link James posted) for free, or do they charge them? If the former, then that is something at least. although they do get tax breaks in return of course.

Was that Hemmingway or Louisa?

It's a mocking term for frothing, rage filled, ranty men - Who last time I checked, don't constitute a race.

Louisa? Has she gone?

I totally agree, but please no more speed bumps. How about average speed cameras?

A nailbar!

How about building a massive statue of a buggy and a skinny latte.. it could be known as 'the Gateway to Dulwich' and be a new local landmark.

Ffs. Rise of the idiots

Is there a wedding happening?

I don't know whether anyone has noticed, but we pay taxes in SE London too. So perhaps we could get the same transport infrastructure as the rest of the Capital?

We need the tube extended into SE London (as it is in every other section of the Capital), boris bikes (again, every other part of London has them), cycle superhighways (again....) and secure bike parking at Elephant, Brixton, Oval and Kennington.

The BBRR should so be bought back.
