Moving to Marmora Road in a week.


Can anyone tell me what it's like? What are the residents like, is it generally quiet and peaceful etc? Any lovely restaurants nearby? What are the travel links like? Is it safe to walk from Honor Oak Park station at night? Any information will be appreciated!

As you can deduce I live on Marmora Road.


It's relatively quiet - in the summer there have been occasional late night barbies / parties but nothing unreasonable. Generally people keep to themselves, tho' most nod or murmer "good morning / evening" once you're a recognised Marmora"ite".


Best restaurant nearby is Si Mangia - small Italian on Forst Hill Road - only 5 minute walk away. The Herne Tavern - 10 min walk is an excellent gastro pub. Omrith Indian restaurant (eat in / take away) is a cut above average. Anatolia - TUrkish cuisine has its fans - I've only been there the once and it was OK.


Lordship Lane is the real gastro hub for general eating, drinking and shopping. Don't miss Northcross Road on Fri / Sat for its market stalls.


Travel links - No 63 starts at Forest Hill Tavern (3 min walk) and goes, via Elephant & Castle, Blackfriars Bridge to Kings X. 363 (same stop to Elephant & Castle). Both run regularly and have night services.


I've never been concerned walking back late at night from Honor Oak station - but I'm 6'5"! However, plenty of people always get off at HOP so you'll inevitably be in the company of others.


Tow major plusses for MR - views to the North across London from top floors and Peckham Rye / Peckham Rye Park at the bottom of Scutari Road.


Welcome to Marmora Road and the EDF.

I have just read, in a review of Peter Ackroyd's new book on the River Thames that, south of the Thames there exists no tradition of Morris Dancing - an excellent eason for moving to the south!

    • Greens have some mad polices and I am still trying to work out if it is true that the leader of the party thought he could hypnotize women to have larger breasts 🤷‍♂️ country is in a real state at the min and all party’s have a part to play in that. what the future holds who knows but it is worrying.
    • A stellar win for the Greens in Gorton and Denton, no doubt. But by-elections are funny beasts. Labour's strength traditionally has been in its ground game. Legions of canvassers over many years in many seats usually means that they are best placed to 'get out the vote' on election day. I can't quite believe that the Greens have enough data, or people, to wrest control of the council from Labour. 
    • Was a regular haunt of mine for many years and had a lot of fun times in there and some marvellous food down the years. Though, admittedly I spent most of my time in there doing some serious boozing. In recent times I've been a less frequent visitor to this fine establishment. I seriously hope it doesn't change too much. It's always had a good vibe in there and that's down to Tim and Rod and all of the staff who have worked there over the past 26 years.
    • Tom came round today and did a very good job advising on picture and mirror placements, and hanging several pieces. Will definitely ask him back to do a few more once we have them framed.
