Thinking of escaping to family in Kent for a few days til this dies down-but I'm in Camberwell and unsure if the roads are open through Peckham, Lewisham etc which would be the usual route I would take?


If any one knows I'd be grateful if you respond.


Thanks.

I came onto the Forum just now to ask if anyone had heard that rioting had started in Camberwell. I work on Denmark Hill and a colleague has just mentioned this and that it is closed off. One of our security people went to the area and confirmed that it is true enough.

There have been a few police cars with sirens blaring along Barry Rd headed from the Peckham Rye end towards Dulwich Park end - is that the route they take to Camberwell? (genuine question, not being argumentative)

I just headed up (the side of) Rye Lane about 15mins ago. The atmosphere was getting tense, lots of groups of youths milling around at the bottom of choumert road, and someone was saying that "they are hitting the sorting office". Didn't stick around to see if it was true; turned around and had a swift march home.

I would avoid the routes that involve going through affected areas, as I think even cars with occupants have been attacked.


Is the A21 any good? Perhaps try going through Sydenham (currently unaffected, I believe):


Lordship Lane - right onto Sydenham Hill - striaght onto A2216 - straight/leftish onto A212 - right onto A2218 - right onto A21


Good luck

Very worried now - we are very close to Choumert Road but my son is a nursery near Sainsbury's on DKH. Not sure whether to go and get him now, or maybe he is safer where he is for the moment. Is anyone else picking up their children early?

Hello,


Just thought I'd open this up to keep up to date on happenings today. I saw something on twitter about a garage being destroyed today in Forest Hill. Also heard a woman on her mobile (about 15 mins ago) at the park end of rye lane telling her son to stay indoors as she heard about a group of rioters moving down Queens Road peckham. May just be hearsay but thought it worth alerting people as the news agencies seem not to be too interested in the Peckham/ed area today...

      MET Engage

      By MCK100 · Posted

      I'm guessing they're busy. I found out just now that the SNT has tracked down the kids who attacked my dog, had strong words with their parents, and the gang has now broken up. I got a lot of detail, which I won't go into here, but it sounds as if they were also quite compassionate towards some of the kids, who came from less than optimal backgrounds, shall we say.  I know that those kids had nothing to do with the attack of the man in August and that they are also aware of the fireworks problem. Sounds like good community policing.

      I'd rather go to actual local Safer Neighbourhood Team meetings and see the whites of their eyes.  Ours in Peckham Rye Park ward (maps of areas the ward covers are on the police website; no idea about the new one!) used to be very well attended, but sadly now not so.  The local police of the SNT seem to change far too regularly so they never have a chance to really know the area and the people.  And the last meeting, held at the Tenants Hall of Brenchley Gardens (so right on the edge of the geographical area), was held with one day's notice.  Not good.

      Fireworks

      By PeckhamRose · Posted

      Friends of Peckham Rye Park sent emails to its members (do join if you can; it's useful) saying a few nights ago a fire was started on the SE22 side of the park by kids with fireworks.  Horrific.
