A guy on a moped was using an angle grinder to cut through a lock on Heber last night. Police were called, but when they arrived he made off and managed to lose them. This is the third time thieves have tried to take this bike (first time there were actually 3 of them on scooters). There is clearly a gang operating in the area.

weird comment edcam.

Has anyone kept count of how many times it's had to be replaced / reset now?

The problem isn't the corner per se - it's huge vehicles trying to cut through narrow streets. I saw a coach unable to make the turn from Maxted into Nutbrook.... It didn't even make it as far as the infamous Adys Road bollard.

Do you get much more for your money in FH these days?

There are a lot of people moving here from Balham, Clapham and Battersea at the moment. Not sure why that would be a problem though. A lot of people around here have come from somewhere else in London or further a field.

West Dulwich has nicer housing stock on the whole, but there is little going on there. ED has more in the way of shops, bars etc, great weekend market (Northcross Road), parks and better transport to the city. Have you also looked at Herne Hill?

People in public park shocker.

...arrrrhh you mean the Falklands. Got it.

What was going on in '82?

I am happy to share what they'll say to you, thereby saving you holding any longer.... "go to the Peckham drop in centre".

According to the Peckham Peculiar, Boxpark have been eyeing up Peckham as a potential, future location: http://peckhampeculiar.tumblr.com/post/75577473483/boxpark-ponders-peckham

Camberwell is too central for a tube station. As opposed to the rest of central london you mean? The tube is meant to serve high density urban populations such as Camberwell. It's centrality is exactly what makes it a good candidate. It's also a cross roads for most of SE London and massively overcrowded / congested.

I'm not sure that's true. I personally think that Camberwell has a rightful claim for any extension of the Bakerloo line and if it was only to be extended that far, it would be a big win. Not least because so many bus routes pass through the green and it would relieve congestion and improve congestion for a large part of SE London.

It's interesting that even the car in that 'Streetview' would appear to be turning too early. It does amaze me how many people cut corners as the turn right. Power steering should make it much easier, but I think it's made us quite lazy.

I'm torn on this. Clearly repeating the same action over and over again (the placement of the bollard) and expecting a different outcome is insane. That said, it is entirely possible to turn that corner without clipping it - you don't need constant visibility of the corner as you turn - vehicles have blind spots, yes, but humans also have spatial awareness. Personally, I don't think that lorries should be using these streets as a cut through (basically rat running) and the excuse that 'my satnav told me to do it' is lame. The answer would seem to be some sort of width restriction earlier on, maybe at the junction with Bellenden.

I noticed that the mounted 'chevron' sign is missing. Makes it less obvious, but still..

I can understand that it may be difficult to negotiate that corner in a van, or lorry, but a car? Come on Huggers, it's not that difficult to see if you're paying attention.

Can't wait for the Picturehouse to open!

Jeez, there are some miserablists on this forum. They were asking for volunteers - you can say no... it's not forced labour.

... and in the spirit of 'art installation' the film could be edited to produce a 'greatest hits' compilation to be displayed at the South London Gallery.

Why don't they install a camera to catch those who drive about knocking down the street furniture?

Come on people... Play nicely

That Village lot... Really!
