Network in Nunhead is excellent. Experienced and friendly salon that is run by sisters who really listen to their clients and give a great service. Trustworthy and very fairly priced.

I tried to distract a traffic warden who was ticketing a car on Grove Vale the other day, Interestingly he told me the opposite side of the road i.e. by the cobblers doesn’t have the same parking restrictions as the side with the locksmith ( where you have to register your free 30 mins by phone).

Agreed. Bought beautiful flowers for a fiver- better than the supermarket.

In January my very old cat was ill and my vet in Peckham had taken blood tests, subsequently prescribing tablets to which the cat was not responding to. A friend recommended 'Neighbourhood Vets' and I rang for a second opinion. They were keen to take the cat in and have a look for which I was grateful but when I explained I no longer had pet insurance and needed to get an idea of the price- they said that wasn't possible. I persisted and the receptionist went to ask a vet who concurred with her. I said surely there was a guideline for blood tests and an x-ray for example? (just as when I go to the dentist they tell me the price of a filling, crown etc). The receptionist went to ask a second vet and I was told - blood tests £200-£300 and x-ray £300-£500. I did not take my cat to Neighbourhood Vets as my Peckham Vet had charged £80 for extensive blood tests done over a morning. I feel there should be more transparency in pricing.

Recommendation for James who arrived with his van at short notice. Very happy that he was able and willing to manoeuvre a heavy fridge freezer efficiently and with good grace!
