Peckhamrye

So, this is what a fishmonger on Rye Lane says about his working life and how he makes his business work - from Sally Butcher's Blog - she runs Persepolis on Peckham High Street and like me buys meat and fish and fruit and veg from the shops in our local area. - http://cornershopkeeper.wordpress.com/2014/03/04/shop-days-6-the-fishmonger/

But Louisa I don't experience these things...we live in the city, there is going to be a bit of rubbish and kids around. As there are in every city I have lived in.

I travel by public transport because I don't drive because I can't afford a car. I travel everywhere by public transport. I commute to and from Peckham Rye Station most days to Rotherhithe, and shop along Rye Lane, and feel I must live in a parallel universe to people here. Why is everyone so intolerant?

I have lived most of my adult life (over 30 years now) in flats. Much of this was spent in Edinburgh where a large part of the Georgian/Victorian housing stock are purpose built flats, NOT converted. In Edinburgh living in a flat wasn't seen as particularly different to living in a house - a large, well proportioned flat, often with communal gardens or private parks, was seen as 'just as good' and people bring up their families there quite happily. Edinburgh went through an intense housing boom through the Georgian era and flats seemed to be the best way around the scarcity of land. I find the desire to have one's own 'house' above everything to be strange - I now live in a 1000 sq. ft. flat on Peckham Rye which is bigger and has a far more spacious feel than many of the little terraced houses I viewed that I could afford.

Lack of envelope or on-line facility seriously irritating!

The prices seem fair to me for precious metal and gemstone. Will be a nice addition.

Wot e-dealer said.

The re-doing of the bus stop at Solomon's Passage on Peckham Rye has already taken 3 weeks - no-one there again today. No idea why these things have to take so long.

I live in a block of 50 flats with underground car parking - at any one time there are rarely more than 15 cars there. Many people living in London these days don't drive particularly young professionals without children living in flats of which there are many.

How is Bellenden associating itself with East Dulwich?

Been here since 2007 and it just improves for me.

The Hope stopped being a pub at least a year ago Alex K - keep up!

Another view on the development - if you don't like it then SAY SOMETHING!!!!http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/dr-michael-petry/peckham-in-peril_b_4643580.html

Anyway, back to the important issue at hand - a view on the proposed development for the station and a reminder that if people - including you Louisa, don't like it then SAY SOMETHING!!!!!! http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/dr-michael-petry/peckham-in-peril_b_4643580.html

Wot Matt said.

What is the 'real' Peckham?

The Italian guys behind Peckham Bazaar?? It is going to be an Italian with Jack Beer cheffing - he was involved in the EatPeckham event.

The developer was planning to sell it on with planning permission - the listing stopped that happening and gave the Ivy House team 6 Months grace.

As it has already been sold I would think it is too late to go down the community asset path?

I was catching the 343 at E&C and there was no info there telling me buses weren't going to NCG and therefore not past my flat. I only found out because I asked an Inspector that was there.

I know KalamityKel but I was cold and wet and coming home after a 12 hour day in West London and it was the final straw!

No 343s were running from Peckham Rye to New Cross Gate today at 5.00pm - the inspector told me it would be like that until 6.30. Incredibly inconvenient.

30,000 I think.

So do Morrisons in Peckham ;)
