They seem to have gotten even worse this morning! Between when I left at 9am, and came back at 11am, they've added another works with 4 way temporary traffic lights.


I don't really know the area that well, and never driven around here - I've only just bought a car. I need to get onto Crystal Palace Parade from Melbourne Grove, is there another quieter route apart from College Road toll? I haven't driven in 3 years, so I'm weary of traffic, think I need quieter roads for the time being :P

You can avoid the toll road either by continuing on the south circular to Croxted Road (first one after West Dulwich station) which will take you up to Crystal Palace parade or by turning right at the mini roundabout before the toll and then left at the end of the road (up Alleyn Park)which will bring you on to the top end of Croxted road. Alternatively just go up Crystal Palace Road (which runs parallel to LL) and miss some, at least, of the road works.

up crystal palace road turn left onto goodrich road follow it all the way over barry road (zebra crossing to your left)

over friern road and also upland road (roundabout) and dunstans road (school on your right another roundabout) follow it up the road goes round to your left then at the end of the road turn right underhill road (should be a cemetry on your left) come to a roundabout turn left then right onto wood vale all the way to the end and this will drop you out at the bottom of sydenham hill

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
