My house too PR - ditto my photo too big to fit (that's not a boast).


Can see from Millenium Dome (just) right thru' an arc to Wembley Stadium arch from the little roof terrace outside my home office.


WSatching the Shard grow day by day is fascinating - and a distracting work avoidance option.

Indeed MMan, watching that Shard grow is fabulous. I was literally walked past the west side of it on St Thomas Street the other day and spoke to a scaffolder exiting the site so took some time to talk to him about it. He was lovely and saying he had the best scaffolding job in the world!

I had my helmet with me but even with that as a hard hat I couldn't persuade him to let me up there with him!!!!!

By the way - will the Shard be much bigger than the current skeleton?

The Shard has now got lights up the sides of it looking like tall Christmas Trees. Just went past there. But I can't see them yet from 'our' side. Maybe they will put some up for our side tomorrow. I remember when the gherkin was going up, the whole thing was given green and yellow lights so it looked like a christmas tree that year. Meanwhile, I just rode past the Pinnacle and that's going to be coming into view shortly. Or rather tall-ly.

    • I don't think it is time restricted...the Southwark noise team's website says....(oh and look at the very first item on the list....;-))   Noise issues and nuisances that we can deal with We can help if you're being disturbed by noise coming from: amplified music TV parties nightclubs and pubs including people outside making noise DIY home renovation some construction sites barking dogs alarms / car alarms odours and fumes from commercial properties smoke commercial venues and events dust or noise from some works or equipment in the street fireworks at night from 11pm to 7am - extensions exist for the following festivals: first day of Chinese New Year until 1am the following day on the day of Diwali until 1am the following day New Year's Eve until 1am on New Year's Day 05 November until midnight
    • Surely nobody is going to want books in poor condition, unless they are rare and possibly valuable?
    • Is that not only true within certain hours? I just did a quick Google and this came up (not specifically Southwark): The Noise Act 1996 defines "night hours" as 11 pm to 7 am, and local councils can take action if noise levels are excessive during this time. This means they can issue warning notices or even investigate for a statutory nuisance if the noise is particularly disruptive, according to Gov.uk.  I'm sure it's more complicated than that, and I'm sure it's been discussed on here before, though I can't remember which thread.
    • Get on those waiting lists asap if you haven't already. I waited till after the birth and it was very challenging getting a place once our daughter turned 1.  She ended up at LEYF Camberwell (we had to accept 2 days to start and gradually got to ramp up 5 days). She absolutely loved it there after an initial shaky start but her key worker and team worked really hard to settle her in. They spent a lot of time giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. Great outdoor space and really caring, enthusiastic staff with low turnover. Would highly recommend.
