Has anyone else been a victim of the confusion over parking on Gallery Road?


I would like to appeal to anyone who has been fined there recently to get in touch, as I believe the lack of signage is criminal and wonder if the council are exploiting motorist's confusion over white lines etc. and are using that road as a revenue raising exercise.


It's clearly a matter of confusion, since Dulwich Picture Gallery actually have to explain the parking on their website.


We were ticketed on a Sunday when the Steam Carter Fair was on, and every car along that road was parked half on the footpath, it must have been a joyous day for the council.


Anyone else out there experienced this? I'd love to make a group appeal, or at least get signage up there to stop other people losing ?60.

Yes but on that road you can, there are areas when you can park on the footpath, the confusion lies where the continuous white lines are - many motorists are confused, particularly on Sundays. Just drive down there yourself. There are many areas on this road where you can park on the footpath, motorists are confused on Sundays and clearly do not know what the white lines mean - apparently, according to the Dulwich Picture Gallery website, the white lines mean you can park anywhere but just not on the footpath. It is clearly causing confusion, if you check this out you will see, why are the Dulwich Picture Gallery having to explain this in capital letters to visitors??

See below what they say on their website:

? If you park on Gallery Road, please observe the parking restrictions even though parking is free on this road. There are demarcation lines on one side which allows you to partially park on the pavement. Everywhere else you MUST NOT park on the pavement or you will be subject to a parking fine. The single white lines on other areas of the road do not indicate that you cannot park.ENDS


Is it not clear enough, otherwise so many motorists wouldn't be subjecting themselves to ?60 fines.

Anyone else been a victim of this confusion?

      New Empanada Place on LL

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
