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.

    • 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.

    • 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.
