Bumping this old thread - has Camberwell Grove been reopened yet?


I ask because I was driving home last night - from Vauxhall Bridge I always tend to wind up coming down Camberwell New Road and then turning up Camberwell Grove to get to DKH. Last few times (I don't tend to come that way very often) the Grove has been shut and I have wound up winding my way through the backstreets of Peckham. Anyway, last night the satnav thing suggested a right turn onto Denmark Hill - but you're not allowed to turn right there unless you're driving a bus (and I wasn't).


So. What's the news with the Grove? And failing that - what's the best alternative route? Or does one have to go through Peckham?

You can turn left near the HSS Hire place and then under the bridge and you come out by the bingo hall on the Walworth Road and then you can go straight on up Denmark Hill.


Or the other alternative is to right onto Flodden Road and take the second exit on the roundabout by the Prince ??? pub follow that road all the way to the junction with coldharbour lane, you can then turn left back to the corner Junction with Nandos on the corner or right and then and then left at the second lights upto Red Post Hill.

This route along Medlar Street has been the "normal" route for years, but it's not very well sign-posted.

The new layout seems too complicated and not very safe, particularly for bikes.


Walking down there today, I watched two lorries and a van reversing in the road, as they could not fit through the restrictions.


I can't see why they didn't stop all cars going down, it was so much quieter.

quieter? for who? not those on surrounding roads.


i agree the layout is ridiculous but was the only 'safe option' considering half the bridge is still structurally unsound. i understand it to be temporary before they (Network Rail) replace it entirely in about 1 million years time. the irony is they could have replaced it in the 2 years it took to get it re-opened.

    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them 
    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.
