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 :)

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
