RebeccaG Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Just come out of peckham pulse and there was a big crowd on the main road and lots of people running to get away. Apparently they were breaking into ladbrookes. The staff at the pulse were closing up with quite a few people still inside. We thought we'd make a dash for it to avoid being stuck in there. Sad times. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18884-trouble-in-peckham/page/2/#findComment-462365 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WS Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Cycling home past peckham pulse. intending to go down bellenden rd past B.King. Saw smashed bus with a row of riot police by it. People milling round with the odd rock / missile thrown by masked individual - not sure how far rye lane the trouble goes. Groups of people milling around. might need to advise those who are not online etc. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18884-trouble-in-peckham/page/2/#findComment-462377 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applespider Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I usually cycle home via Brixton and thought I'd go home via Peckham and pick up a few bits of Rye Lane. Got to Camberwell, saw 3 police vans with guys in riot gear screaming past towards Peckham and decided just to head home..

jim_the_chin Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Just came back through bottom of lyndhurst way with two lines of riot police at the junction with peckham road. Saw lots of hooded yoot around the burgess park area - thought they were heading for walworth road, but maybe heading away from peckham.

Salsaboy Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Sirens aplenty. Just driven through Penge (someone has to) and lots of rozzers hanging around. Could it be a pincer movement?

trizza Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Trains no longer stopping at Peckham Rye. Just cycled through - felt v dodgy. Lots of people just hanging around and discarded bricks/bollards around Aldi. Police formed up blocking off rye lane just past the station. I'd stay away.

Sonners Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 My husband was just on a bus on the walworth road which got caught with the police on one side of it and looters on the other. The bus kicked everyone off and the looters kindly let the passangers walk back towards elephant. Choose another way home folks, not sure any buses will get down there for a while.

Alex K Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 The Dog Kennel Hill Sainsbo's was open a quarter-hour ago -- all shutters rolled down, security personnel tapping batons into their palms outside. Erm, make that two security guards and three blokes in J Sainsbury livery, one walkie-talkie amongst the five. If you had a tan from your holiday you weren't allowed in. Please discount that statement as well.However, my housemate, who described the scene there in somewhat **cough** inflammatory terms, says, and this is a TRUE, that from the window of the 68 he saw three separate muggings between Burgess Park and Camberwell Green -- a moped stolen and two bicycles stolen, knocked off whilst riding and scarpered on the stolen goods.
