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!

    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided. 
    • does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
    • MaryT, I’ve contacted the Dulwich Hill councillors several times in recent years, always copying them both in. I have never had an acknowledgment from Jon Hartley (not even an automated response or out-of-office) nor had any response or engagement from him regarding the issue raised.   On each occasion, only Maggie Browning responded (she uses an out-of-office if she is away). The last time, I received no response from either for 3 months, until Maggie Browning emailed me to apologise for not responding and asking if the problem had been resolved.
    • The  Kwasi effect is being considered.
