I agree - Peckham Rye Park is looking fabulous this year. I spend a lot of time there with two young children and although they are generally more interested in the playground, my four year old often comments on the 'nice flowers' when we walk through the Sexby garden. (He is also fascinated by the blue water in the fountain and asks me every time why it's that colour.....answers on a postcard please)

Someone said in another thread that they'd asked a gardener in the park who said the fountain/pond was being cleaned, but that was weeks ago, I can't believe the water's still blue, it's vile !

Have you seen the meadows? I thought they were just overgrown patches of grass, but on closer inspection they are deliberately left to grow naturally and wild. They have plaques fronting them, exlaining the meaning of the word 'Meadow' and they look very nice close up, I have only noticed two but there could be more.


I have always loved the flowers in the park and when I have visitors staying, I try to make a point of taking them on a walk through the park to explore the various gardens.

Agree with all of the above. I feel hugely privileged to live so close to such a wonderful park with such fantastic resources. The Sexby garden is my favourite spot of all. I spent a lot of time in there when I was on maternity leave, as buggy wheels on the garden's paving slabs tended to have a particularly soporific effect on my son!


I have often been tempted to stop the gardeners when I see them and tell them what a great job they do, but thought they might think I was a bit of a mad woman.

Vickster NEVER be afraid or concerned about praising someone.

People are so quick to criticise or whinge these days, so praise is rare and so never feel bad about being positive to someone.

If it is rejected, well that is about THEM, not you!

Having said that, I often smile at and thank the gardeners for their work.

I spend so much time in this park and have always loved it but it's especially beautiful this year and I know a lot of hard work goes into making and keeping it this way. The gardeners do an amazing job but a huge thank you should go to the committee who run the Friends of Peckham Rye Park. They have all given their free time to fund raise for many, many years and have been absolutely crucial to the ongoing restoration and protection of the park. Everyone's starting to notice the results of all the many years of hard work.

    • Apparently there was a motorcade on Lordship lane about 40 mins ago. Did anyone see it? Two blacked out 4X4, with police convoy. I'm intrigued...
    • Harrow.  I wish that I had done more before Covid, including putting my name forward as an executor and seeking power of attorney.  I performed the latter for my later mother, and with no executor named in her will I did probate and executed her will, all very straightforward as financial affairs all in order particularly due to the work of my sister who managed our mother's accounts. But from 2020 onward it was difficult to tell someone who was very frail she needed to change her will etc. There's a further tail about the 'friend' of my aunt who gets around 90% of the estate, and some manipulation of my aunt's finances by this friend.  Police wont get out of bed for a million or so for fraud cases so didn't go to them.
    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
