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!

    • What's probably happened here is an assignment of Poundland's lease. This means that Tesco would purchase the remaining terms of Poundland's lease from Poundland. It could be contingent on the council approving the plans for the signage change and ATM. The landlord would be happy because then a stronger tenant moves into their space. Poundland gets a bit of cash in the form of a premium. Tesco gets a fully baked lease to take over.  Companies don't submit these plans unless it was going to happen. It takes time and money to draw up these plans, and if you review them you'll see the drawings of the frontage are clearly 29-35 Lordship Lane. Meaning someone had surveyed the space and drawn up plans based on the specific property. 
    • I have no agenda just a simple response expressing my thoughts and experience.  
    • Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.
    • They aren't. They are removing them manually, scraping and cutting them out. I've seen them doing it on my road and surrounding roads. I can't imagine that they would have different methods in different parts of East Dulwich.
