Anyone know what the building on the NE junction of Crystal Palace Road and Upland Road is? It's got a massive car park out the back and many big antennae, blacked out windows and Hazchem warning symbols on the front door.


The guy in Plantnation says it's a police surveillance station, but for some reason I just don't believe him.


Anybody know the truth behind this puzzling piece of local architecture?

Im sure any long term residents ( i.e. who have been living here for more than sbout 3 years ) may well recall the rather , erm, interesting activities of certian plain clothes Polce officers a based in East Dulwich some years ago , that were indeed involved int eh drugs business more than one would expect. Cout cases, imprisonment and dismissals from the force was the result .........anyone remember this ?

Id love to check out Sarahs Railings


The reason for marsden road is Rejuventaion - the high level of Local authority houses in the street and the general state of the area = wholsescale jazzing up. the closing of a local crack house was also involved.


selected streets have been sorted over the past decade in a similar fashion of you look around


PS rich streets dont get this, so dont wait in hope - it is well targeted

Vice squad you say ?


The cant be very good, seeing as theres at least 2x Albanian run brothels, with probabaly unwilling female employees, within 400 metres of their little bolt hole - one of which has several regulars who are well known in the SE22 / LL area.


Oh yes, We cant have the Filth busting places that are patronised by local "faces" can we .......


sorry to bring down the forum with this distasteful revlation, but then again, this is hardly secret.

I understand that it is the HQ of the Met Police Gun Squad. If you apply for a licence to carry guns the applications go to that address. A friend was applying for a licence (to carry a blunderbus in battle reenactments) and he decided to deliver the application rather than post it. The problem was there was no letterbox!

    • 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.
    • He's probably in his 70s, just doing a few more bits of work for his clients, many now deceased (ie executing their wills) who will be in their 90s. Everyone else who is younger than 90 will do their research and not use him,
    • I suppose we are lucky that our daughters both drive so do not have alcohol when they are with us.  I start my Christmas food shopping in October, when prices are generally lower. Turkey Crown from Iceland, gammon from Sainsbury's, get put into freezer as do any other bits and pieces i.e. prawns/seafood. Fruit and veg from Aldi nearer the time,. Having 3 vegetarians plus a gluten intolerant, I make much of the other food stuff including desserts. Aldi's version of Baileys is half the price, plus beers and ciders are good value. Neither of us are wine drinkers We generally have fish or vegetarian based food from Marks plus a dessert, I suppose I have always been a careful shopper - I was a single parent for many years where all my wages went to paying the mortgage leaving around £10 a week for food and other bills. My work colleagues used to mock me when I said that a chicken would last us all the week ending up boiling up bones to make a soup base. Old habits die hard even when you have a bit more in your pocket to spend.
