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!

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
