Need to make this journey tomorrow.

I thought there used to be a train link direct (as part of Overground line).

If not, what service(s) are people frequently making this journey using please and what changes are required, if any ?

Nat Rail Enquiries gives me nothing PR -> Canary Wharf.

Yeah, a few people here getting confused between Canada Water and Canary Wharf..


There was never a direct link to Canary Wharf. Overground has always been PR, QRP, Surrey Quays, Canada Water, Rotherhite, etc. So you need to change at Canada Water, and it can get very busy. But still a better bet than London Bridge (the trains are screwed yet again)


Have you considered cycling? (ducks, covers head...)

"Have you considered cycling? (ducks, covers head...)"


It's a one-off and currently I don't have a bike that's servicable for this short-notice appt.

However longer-term, if there was some business to do there eventually, I probably wouldn't cycle because (apart from not having the bottle to cycle across London - driving is dangerous enough !) there'd be no provision for storing clothes and wet towels/showers (ducks, covers head...).

Overground to Canada Water for Jubilee line (one stop to Canary Wharf eastbound). 20-25 minutes tops from Peckham Rye in the rush hour - you may have a 5 minute change at Canada Water if it's really busy (around about 0800-0900)


If Jubilee has delays then stay on until Shadwell and change to the DLR.


Overground is therefore your weak link but it's very reliable in my experience (as are DLR and Jubilee line).


Interestingly (or not) I as once asked by a DLR guard if I was changing at Shadwell late one evening, and he advised me not to. I've changed without incident during rush hours though and never felt unsafe.

It's my daily trek. Overground from Peckham Rye (also stops at Denmark Hill on the way here) every 15mins to Canada Water (takes about 12 mins) and then down the escalator to the Jubilee Line and one stop to Canary Wharf.


Easy peasey.


The longest I've ever had to wait at Canada Water for a tube is ten mins and three trains, but that's rare.

    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.   
    • I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
    • 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.
