I think they're back at it again. I can't go knock on their door because I don't know which house/flat it's coming from. There's a few let by/just sold signs down the road, would it be right to guess it's one of those? So uncool. I'm hoping they don't carry on past 11pm.
Sorry but you are being totally unreasonable. It is Saturday night and people are entitled to have fun in their own homes. 11pm finish time?? Sorry if you have to get up really early but the world doesn't revolve around your getting up and going to bed. Maybe invest in some earplugs if you can't handle noise at 11pm because everywhere I've ever lived there has been noise past 11 on a semi-regular basis.
Uncool would be if the same people did this weekly and made a habit out of it...since this is the second weekend in a row. My kiddies' room backs up onto the noise and you can hear it in their room. As far as I'm aware people aren't allowed ro have LOUD music playing past 11pm, no? That's all. I come
It's been pointed out many times on the forum that complaining on EDF about what may be considered loud and excessive party noise achieves nothing, not the least because those who are partying are busy partying and not reading the Forum. The people to complain to are the Southwark Noise Control Team whose number has also been posted several times on the Forum.

See the other party noise thread. The council have a noise team who bring out their noise measuring machinery and can confiscate the sound systems if the noise doesn't stop. Within the hour, they say.

The 'rule-of-thumb' that most city dwellers run by is that neighbours are 'allowed' 2-3 loud and late parties a year at weekends - particularly Friday or Saturday night. Good neighbours will alert adjacent houses to the fact of an up-coming party (when they haven't invited them!). Some nights (New Year's Eve, Bonfire Night) are accepted as party nights where loud behaviour is anticipated.


Unacceptable behaviour is very loud music (particularly a throbbing bass line) after midnight, or regular parties every weekend. Of course other people enjoying themselves in a thoughtless manner can (rightly) be annoying - but if you live in a city (and we are in an inner London suburb) you live by city rules.

Back in my day they'd have trashed the bedroom too :)

    • 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!
