  1. Hi Monkey,


    We are near to you and we got offered Sydenham School for this year's intake.


    Daughter absolutely loves it and has made lots of new friends. Most of them live this side of the school and so walking distance. They get the bus from Upland Rd & Underhill Rd bus stops.


    We are still over 100 on the waiting lists for both Charters, but do not think we would change now even if we were offered a place anyway.


    Not sure what it was like this year, but the previous year, I understand Harris girls still has 2 vacancies at the start of September after the waiting lists moved things around, so don't give up hope!

  2. This also happened to me, a speeding motorbike came round the corner towards the Library(south to north)and I actually had to turn back or it would have hit me.


    That stretch could do with some kind of crossing or obvious speed cameras to deter this.


    There are two bus stops between the library and Underhill Road crossings, but no safe route to get to them without walking down to either of those crossings.

  3. Hi Katiesa,


    This is a good site to use to plot -https://www.daftlogic.com/


    I just calculated it's just under 1.2km from Sainsbury's Local to Jarvis Road.


    However your place on the waiting list should also give you an indication.


    We are passed Sainsbury's further south and 153 on the waiting list, so basically no chance.


    It could be the catchment has shrunk this year.

  4. We live in Dulwich Hill area and got Sydenham school first round (we are 1.5KM from the school). We knew that we were out of catchment for both Charters and Kingsdale chances are low unless you get a scholarship. Sydenham is 10 minutes on the bus and a good school.


    Whilst ideally Charter North is our first choice, we knew that realistically the chances were very low. We are 120 on the waiting list and it's our nearest school!


    I believe also from friends that Forest Hill boys also stretches out this far. Oscar have you checked Sydenham/Forest Hill boys? You can be added to the list if you didn't put them down originally.

  5. Hi there,


    We had an office built in the garden back in 2012 and used a company called Gembuild - www.gembuild.co.uk


    They were really good, professional and we were really pleased with the result. The office/shed was built over a weekend and assembled in the garden with the materials being brought through the house. They have a range of designs and materials. Ours is in Cedar. I have attached a photo. We have a double sofa bed in there and use it also as an extra room when guest stay as well as an office.
