It is the right decision from the council. The Aylesham Centre has proposals for redevelopment into more intensive retail space with housing attached. Planning is about balance. And the cinema and other cultural uses of the car park, maintain that balance between retail, housing and the arts that have come to define Rye Lane in recent years.

Fear not Louisa, Peckhamplex has a very long lease (much longer than the other entities on the site), the only way they would be removed is if their lease were compulsorily purchased to enable redevelopment which, thanks to the excellent work of PeckhamVision, isn't going ahead.

The "New Southwark Plan - Area Visions and Site Allocations" has identified possible development spaces in the borough for more than 40,000 dwellings. And it also makes it clear that town centres such as Peckham need leisure facilities and other amenities to prevent whole areas from becoming 'dormitories'. So this is a good piece of news.

Of course we need more housing - though given Southwark's record at Elephant Park etc one very much doubts there would have been much affordable social housing (even under the current very stretched definition) - but that doesn't mean it's appropriate to gut a town centre of much-needed and much-loved amenities and simply plank down tower blocks willy-nilly.

Just been reading in the PP that two lots of new housing, one in Peckham (smaller development, built on a car park) and one further afield (at least three towers of ascending height, one 40 storeys) have been criticised by locals, one of whom (in the case of the former) waxed very lyrical about not wanting to miss seeing vapour trails and puddles. I like whimsy, but much prefer people to be housed in places that aren't miles away from the centre of London in already established areas. Fact is, if you accept that London is an attractive place to live then you have to accept that more needs to be done to house all the people who come here - from the rest of the UK and beyond. Puddle gazing comes a very solid second to housing.

The Ladies aren't bad either :))


But yes it would be good to see those carpets disappear ......


Went to see Blade Runner there last week.


Six quid (for the 3D version). Compared to fourteen quid in East Dulwich (not for the 3D version).


Worth the walk :))

      Shower enclosure installation

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      By yaymukund · Posted

      Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
