This is one of the regular Saturday morning sociable cycle rides -- this time themed around the life of Charlie Chaplin, the most dramatic rags-to-riches story ever told. He was (probably) born in East Street but spent most of his hard and destitute childhood in Lambeth before the rise to fame that everyone knows about.

The ride starts in Peckham Square (SE15 5JR) between the Pulse and the Library at 10am and finishes back there at 12 noon. A two-hour ride Chaplin was born from Peckham can include his birthplace and many places he lived in while growing up, including the Lambeth Workhouse.

The attached pdf describes the route and briefly Chaplin's life. The route is here: http://www.mapmyride.com/workout/2508868517 and it's all in the London basin so flat and easy paced.

  I don't really see the issue. It's taking up a small part of Goose Green. I was able to happily eat my lunch there today witthout the fair impinging on my space or enjoyment. I presume they have chosen that location as it is near the playground, so parents with young children often go there at the weekend. I don't really see the issue.

  Here you go again trying to twist things saying I made personal saying I don't feel safe, but it's you firing and demanding answers, you're not the police and nor are you a moderator. No its not a reasonable question, nor is saying I should go live somewhere else. You have a habit on here of "demanding" answers, not on.

  Is this a popular event? If great demand for this sort of event on such a small space then so be it. It is just with Peckham Common so very close by just wondering why this is considered a preferable venue for this kind of thing?
- Jason Arnold -- local plasterer, highly recommended

  Another recommendation for Jason who is brilliant all-round. He plastered our rooms and hallways (some walls were blown and needed re-boarding), replaced two ceilings and over-boarded one. From the start he was always communicative, happy to pop by to assess first, and transparent about the various options and their associated costs. He worked thoroughly, going above and beyond to make sure every job was finished to a high standard and is very fairly priced, particularly considering the hours he puts in. We’re so pleased with the results of our flat and have already recommended him unreservedly to others. Also helps that he is just a sound guy who’s really easy to chat to!
