there is a ghost in heber apparently - not seen I myself but it was discussed a few years back and the tale seems to have spanned a few generations of students from what people were saying. Maybe not good to mention this to the current cohort as it seems to have dropped of the rumour radar.


eta an onsite caretaker who dies in mysterious circumstances years ago was mentioned as being the ghost

I'd hope the "current cohort" were smart enough to know that ghosts aren't actually... you know... real.


Do let me know if this is not the case, and I'll be sure to strike it off the shortlist for biscuits jr.

Gives me the Heber Jeebies

The lights were on in the school at night, all night, throughout the whole of the Christmas Holidays and, over the past weekend, the lights were on and some windows were open- so our council tax money is being spent 'wisely'- it looks like a case or two of 'the lights are on but there is no-one home'

If you only had the Internet, you could find their number and call them. what a shame.

Fair point- but I never remember in the cold light of day.....(I will refrain from pointing out that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit!)

    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.
