Yikes. That sounds awful. K&O pest control (recommended on here many times) will be able to sort that for you easily. I imagine rats are easier to keep out as they're bigger.

It is possible to get a mortgage, but it definitely complicates things and affects saleability. TBH the stuff really isn't that hard to control, you just need a lot of Glyphosate and a bit of willpower.

Admittedly the road is scruffy, noisy and sometimes smelly - but some of the posts here are laughable. Well at least they would be if they weren't so ignorant.

Peckham Rye is alright, with LB trains, Overground and Thameslink. If one line is screwed you've ususally got two other options. Greenwich is OK for transport too, with trains, DLR, and North Greenwich tube. But generally you have to say that transport in SE London is not great. I count buses as a last resort.

Love what he had to say about John McCain. "I prefer soldiers who don't get captured". What a moron!!

Interesting stuff quids. It's called Warwick Gardens. Would have been a disaster for the area if there had been a new track and tunnel opening plonked there! But I do wish you'd stop saying "funky"...

I prefer the way your landscaper has done it. Having pieces of paving cut at an angle/wedge would annoy me much more than the lack of parallelity.

Ah but Fox... he's not really dead, is he! Just like Bobby Ewing.

Never thought Minder would end like that... bit of an anti-climax. Poor old Arthur.

I'm going to start an e-petition for a national day of mourning.

And also if you ignore an area because of reputation or first appearances, you're missing out on 50% of what London has to offer.

Lots of good stuff in Camberwell - probably better restaurants than ED, IMO. Some very nice houses too, and not just Camberwell Grove.

Sorry to hear this. Were you home at the time?

Ok.. didn't realise the blackfriars trains were different to peckham Rye.

Trains into the city (blackfriars and Thameslink) from Denmark hill are really infrequent...

Transport in Camberwell is, in my opinion, terrible. I couldn't live anywhere without a train or tube (yes I know it has Denmark Hill, but the line is not particularly convenient, and it is quite a walk away from Camberwell proper). Some people seem to like buses, but I hate them. The unpredictable journey time, the unscheduled change of destination, switching drivers, etc. No... not for me.

Otta - lots of people away on holiday. The office and train both seem quieter than usual this week.

Sixth Sense when you find out Bruce is dead. Except that it's bloody obvious all along.

I once saw her in Spain. She was carrying LOTS of shopping.

1% tip? Wow. You were brave to return after that...
