  1. I've never seen any fur balls but intrigued.
  2. A Picture House would be a brilliant addition. Fingers crossed it happens.
  3. Last year I had a leg injury which required a trip to the nurse for a dressing change twice a week. Unfortunately, they didn't have any appointments with the nurse for about three weeks so I had to wait every time at the drop in surgery in Peckham or at Barts.
  4. The old wall that was built in 1865 and never been maintained was unsafe. A section has been taken down and rebuilt with a stronger core structure. The original bricks have been cleaned and will (I've been told) be used as the outer skin of the wall so it matches the original wall. No more trees are coming down and no access road. I've been told they will be replacing shrubs etc.
  5. If anyone is missing one. There's one parked on Balchier Road with missing number plates, slashed tyres, broken wing mirrors and lights. I've reported it to the police.
  6. The Packermans Wood houses do look lovely. I'm a fan too.

Total time off bike 10 seconds. It's not that much of a disruption to one's journey.
  8. Not sure sure about Honor Oak. The Overground is pushing prices up. And the high street is already considerably more appealing than a few years ago.
  9. I hate the look of pollarded trees. It's been discussed at length in a thread about Barry Rd. I'll be interested to see what those trees look like this summer.
  10. Lovely. It's not changed too much.
  11. I miss it. The garden was great in the summer.
  12. Where is the fabled ?12 burger available?
  13. Every restaurant review is still usually prefixed with a paragraph about how extraordinary it is to find anything decent to eat in Peckham.
  14. Actually all the new housing that runs from St Georges Way to Peckham Road seem perfectly safe. Very well lit and seems like nice unthreatening neighborhoods. I go down Chandler Rd sometimes and cross into Lyndhurst Way. The Canal path can be a lonely place at night.
  15. There's still Morrisons, Aldi and Asda just around the corner so hardly bereft of places to shop cheaply. There's no doubt that Peckham has changed a lot and will change a lot more. I'm not sure how 'useful' some of the shops on Bellenden Rd are, but it's better this way than a betting shop riddled dump like Norwood.
  16. Twenty years ago did Bellenden Road really have anything useful on it? Apart from the wishing well and the Poodle Parlour?
  17. Horrible.. Sumner Road is a good alternative. It's a numbered cycle route and pops you out opposite the Peckham Burger King.
  18. I'll keep my eyes peeled. Hi Vis clever... How to hide in the open.
  19. I went for a walk through there yesterday. I agree it is a mess at the moment. It probably doesn't help that there is a lot of subsidence and general bogginess. I have been told that once the works are finished they will be replanting some trees and shrubs. Fingers crossed.
  20. That's the thing.. Working from home reliability's what you need more than anything.
  21. I'm thinking of doing the BT switch next year. Virgin hasn't been too bad but it is frustrating.
  22. Anyone having trouble today? Last night broadband was off.. then briefly on again.. then off again this morning. The status is saying 'good service'.
  23. And if it's being sold on the open market, who's going to buy it for community use? I'd rather it were still a police station. Apart from that it might as well be flats.. Hopefully with some architectural merit.
