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.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
