Hi, we are considering buying a house next to the stadium of Hamlets FC, on the opposite side from tribunes. Can somebody advise on the noise in the area because of football fields? None of us is a football player/spectacular, we cannot even understand the FC webpage. The agent is saying that we should only worry about the noise from Saturday afternoons. Is it true? Are games always scheduled around the same time? Should we only worry about screams from tribunes or players as well? Thank you in advance

I am a resident living on that estate for the past 3 years.


The matches happen mostly on a Saturday afternoon, plus occasional games on Tuesday/Thursday evenings.


No usually not a problem with noise, their average turnout is around 200.

Occasionally there are pre-season friendlies where the place is rammed but these are very few and far between.

Tribunes?

I'm sure Sulla had one or two of them tortured, but I'm sure it's not enough of a problem in modern Brittania to worry about.


Seriously though, I wouldn't give it a second thought, the car wash in the car park probably generates more noise than the Hamlet crowd.

Yes, particularly dangerous in the winter when its got ice on it.

I live on Abbotswood Road rather than Burrow Road, so can't comment on the lane running down the side of the football club... but "kids riding and burning stolen motorbikes will leave your 2am slumber in tatters too.". Pfffft. Come off it. You are making it up. There is a noticeable lack of burnt out bikes round here for that to be true.

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.
