why not? might one of the nasty dark brown people get you?


there's nothing at all wrong with 'that part of peckham' at night- in fact i'd rather walk along rye lane on a friday night than amongst the hordes of drunken fools on lordship lane

Seconded - after a couple of Negronis I would think driving would be out of the question!

Yep, drinking and driving obviously not a good idea... but personally I feel uneasy on Rye Lane late at night, and always have done. A situation not helped by the fact that last time I went there the lift was out of action, and got thoroughly lost in that car park, which is frankly a pretty disgusting place.


Nothing against the bar itself. But the location is not for me.

I don't think I've ever found the lift "in action" regardless of what state it's meant to be in


And dear lord the stairs are digusting


But I've never had a problem at any time on Rye Lane


Admittedly, when I came out of I am Legend at the cinema, close to midnight one December evening there did seem a bleak continuity with the empty streets but that's about it

Agreed, the stairs are seriously not a problem. It just sounds worse than it really is. Harder coming back down the sloping carpark ramps in very high heels though...

I thought it wasn't open until 6pm?

When I went on a Saturday, it was packed by 7.30 with long queues for drinks. I also did the same as PGC one Monday eve and we ended up at Bar Story too. Never felt uneasy on Rye Lane either but agree with Jeremy, there's a scary, badly lit corridor to navigate near the side of the car park and I wouldn't fancy walking there on my own late at night. Didn't realise that people would drive there!!

I've walked up to Franks several times, once followed by an obviously disturbed and fairly aggressive man who demanded money and cigarettes from us for opening the door to us. We just carried on walking and he gave up - the staff obviously knew who he was when we mentioned it - all part and parcel of the rich tapestry of life. However we still walked out the other way.....

If you think Lordship Lane is safer than Rye Lane you're a fool. Personally fine about going down there but wouldn't do it on my own.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
