I do live nearby. The conservation area with the 5 cute roads of cottages are there plus the almshouses. You've also got the Alex pub and Nurseries for beer/food and cake/coffee/plants on your doorstep. In general terms, everywhere that side of the High Street is good, the other side can be hot and miss.

Actually I have a friend who I used to work with for many years who lives in Penge.

We were planning to meet up for a curry in East Dulwich.


He is going through a painful separation and is in a bad way.

This Penge restaurant might be a better option for him. 10 minute walk.

OhOh :):)

Alex pub was waiting for kitchen to be sorted (relatively newly opened). Alex Nurseries should concentrate on selling plants rather than having unecessary conversations with customers (maybe a one off but I wont be going back).


Maple Road had some great boozers some selling food - that was some time ago so not sure how its changed.


You are an easy walk or bus ride from Sydenham and four award winning restaurants

Alex pub's kitchen has been up and running for a while now and the food has proved very popular. Surprised that somebody took offence in the Nurseries. The owner and staff are amongst the nicest people I have ever met. I suspect it sells more coffee and cake than plants but is terrifically popular. I popped in on Sunday and the queue to be served was about 10 people long so I gave up.

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
