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.

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.

No way.

What are the odds of that?

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.

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.

      I need a bathroom mirror

      By pipsky2008 · Posted

      My DIY attempt to cut down a piece of glass didn't quite go as well as it might have. Consequently, I'm looking for a piece of mirror glass in good condition, approx 90cm × 70cm. I can collect. Thanks

      Clapham to Dulwich Advice

      By knowledgablelocal · Posted

      I would suggest ED, particularly the top ends of Upland and Friern Road, where the two roads meet. It's a no through road so basically makes it semi-private with no through traffic other than cyclists. The gardens are larger than your typical ED gardens, you are 1 minute to Peckham Rye park which is a great outside space with 2 great playgrounds and a decent coffee shop, plus the frequent busses up/down Rye Lane (12,197, 63 and 363) can get you to Peckham station in less than 10mins. On top of that you are only 5-7mins walk from Lordship Lane and all that has to offer, plus can easily get to Peckham for its fantastic restaurants (the best in South London) and bars.  You can get to the Dulwich schools driving or on the P13 bus at the end of the road. Or if it's nice weather, walk/bus up Barry Road and then a quick stroll through Dulwich Park.  You probably wouldn't need to pay your top budget either! But could do if you got one of the villas on Rye Lane itself.
