Nope... I am hoping their one-way system includes the access into the District/Circle line hall being split so that those wanting to use that line don't get entirely swamped in the 'Victoria line' travellers but I foresee many evenings of being stuck outside. Fortunately, I only have to brave it a couple of times a week until I get back on my bike in March.


Long-term what they want to do with access to Victoria will be excellent but it is a pity that they couldn't have waited to refurbish the escalators until the new bank of them were built. Although I'm guessing since that's 3-4 years away, it may not have been safe to do so...

So, I stayed on the tube at victoria, at 5.45 and did not get off ( I went to Brixton and got a bus), but as we pulled away at Victoria I looked out of the window of the tube and it looked better than usual- it this just scare tactics? Getting the bus at Brixton is always a challenge and I am not sure I have the nerves to do this for the next year.

Did anyone brave the tube/ mainline transport exchange in the rush hour and how was it?

Three of my colleagues did. One at 4.45 who said that it did take longer getting down to Victoria line but platforms packed since apparently problems on the line. As a sidenote, the platform indicators have been wrong often recently.

Second person went through at 6.30 with no problems.


Third was going District Line at 5.45 and said it was a bit crowded behind the barriers at District/Circle but didn't delay her.


As far as I know, the problems are more related to getting into Victoria at peak times. Of the three escalators, one is being refurbished and the other two both go up at evening rush. It probably takes longer to get out in the morning when there is one in each direction

Went via Victoria tonight at 5.30 to District Line - it was emptier than usual. I suspect the advice is being heeded by those who are only just on the 'closer to Victoria than St James Park or Pimlico' and those of us who work right next door are ignoring it. We'll see what happens on a really wet miserable night...


Second Polly D's comment re Denmark Hill though. Many people just going to the station are now getting off at the stop at the top of the hill and walking/jogging/sprinting down to the station since the temporary lights cause such jams.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
