Just finalising childcare arrangements for my little one and wondering if I'm being too optimistic in thinking that I can drop her off in the mornings and then drive down to Honor Oak Park station, and park around there.


Is there generally parking around the station in the mornings? Forest Hill Station is another option, if parking is better near the station?


Thanks,

BC

I live in a street near HOP station and it's getting more and more of a nightmare to try and find a parking space near to the house because of people parking to use the station. I know there is a campaign going to try and get resident permit parking in all of the streets off HOP including Devonshire so that might be worth considering.

I love these threads, where a lot of blow-ins get uppity about their technical right to use the front of someone else's house as storage for a two ton heap of carbon sweating metal.


If they did it with two tons of something else, they'd rightfully get a pop on the nose, what makes a 'car' any different?

malumbu, why would anyone from Bromley park in Honor Oak to catch a train into London, when there is more free parking than you can shake a stick at in Canada Water?


Also, even as a resident of a road, you have no right to tell people not to park there. Congested roads are one of the downsides of living near good transport connections. By all means, campaign for parking restrictions.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
