Peckham Road looks calm enough at the moment, hoodies dispersed for now but I wouldn't go out there tonight..!

I have a friend coming from denmark hill to ryelane walking as there are no buses does anyone know if there's anything going in between there and here? I'm seriously scared tbh.

Little Tesco on East Dulwich Road (next to the petrol station) being looted apparently. Everyone be careful!

just walked back from peckham - police with riot shields were at the far end of rye lane - everyone just watching and waiting and there's a weird feeling - you know you should just go home but you want to see what happens ..so i did ....until a bloke couple of feet away smashed primarks window.

Snowboarder. As of half an hour ago, trains were still coming through from London Bridge fast to East Dulwich and then the usual stops, but diverted to East rather than West Croydon.

Decided to abandon the bike and meet the wife and get the train together based on the posts on this thread...

Pollypops- are you sure it's the little tescos on East Dulwich Road and not the one on Rye Lane?

[Loz]

According to Twitter it is the ED Road branch.

The one on East Dulwich Road I'm afraid - it's on the BBC website.

I agree with the posters who want to go in a block and tell everyone to go home. It isn't the police's fault and it isn't the economy. I teach in Peckham and these are kids from my classes and there are other people here who know them and they belong for the most part to normal families who cannot in a pinch control them. I teach Maths and when I try to teach I cannot control some of my pupils who are intent on stopping everyone's learning. The same kids who are dead centre looting refuse to learn and squander opportunity when they are showered with it. The police should be supported by all of us walking to the problem and all the parents who know their kids are not at home have to get out there and get them home. None of us are perfect not teachers or police or parents. Life isn't a game show or a lottery which is what all the kids are allowed to think. They don't want to learn and work because they think that's for suckers.

2026: Three hooded youths kicked down the door of a Tesco Metro store in East Dulwich Road, near Peckham Rye, before jumping over the counter, reports the Press Association.

They should lock up all these thugs,they dont represent ordinary people who struggle to pay bills and put food on the table,they are just using the shooting of mark duggan as an excuse to steal because they want everything for nothing. I work in lewisham and will be inspecting the damage there tomorrow....

BBC live text reports disturbance in the Tesco East Dulwich Road branch. East Dulwich is now on the riot map.

Time to bring in the army?

Twitter has pics of looting at EDR Tescos. Confirm it is the one on EDR

[Applespider]

Is all the 24-hour coverage on the news helping or hindering? Is it encouraging others to go out and create havoc and get their 15 minutes of fame? Is it giving them ideas on what to do to cause maximum damage - I know I've been educated on the best way to set a car on fire after watching the news.

[Inkmaiden]

Maybe won't be nipping there for some milk after all, thanks everyone.

[catzac]

it is the one on ED road, i live on the road, there is a large gang of kids still hanging around there

Waitrose plans take a twist with a space soon to be available at the Tesco on ED Road.

Seriously, do people riot when a member of the public kills another member of the public? MyNameHere's post really strikes a chord - good words.

Blimey, what are the odds?

[spongebob]

Where are the water cannons?

[Grotty]

apparently both tesco's broken into. Just spoke to a friend who is at The Rye pub (tables and chairs up against the doors) - on their way in a group of yoofs were handing out scratchcards they'd nicked from one of the tesco's....

I heard on LBC that Turkish men on Stoke Newington Lane are guarding their businesses standing outside with baseball bats. They should give the UK some training in how not to be walked over.

yes - def the on near Goose Green - link to pic from Twitter http://yfrog.com/kfxbfzwj
