We bring four mechanics: three ace volunteers and the best pro we know to Peckham Arch (see pic) from 5.30-7.30pm on the first Thursday of every month. The next one is June 7th.

They will be mending bikes, indexing gears, tightening brakes, pumping up tyres, fixing that squeak and telling you why your back wheel wobbles. We don?t carry parts but if you bring brake pads we can fit them. Use our oil. Listen to our wise advice and ask tricky bike-questions. I?ve learned a lot just by listening.

We have bike maps, local gossip to give as well as receive. Everyone is welcome. Everything is free. "We" means Southwark Cyclists and we are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which works for safe, enjoyable cycling in London. You don?t need to be a member or live in Southwark. Everything we do is free and as welcoming as we can make it. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk

  Well good for you, I don't feel safe. And saying why don't I go and live somewhere else is crass. Yes London is lawless, open your eys and see the reality.

  Also, as discussed on another thread, that particular assailant was possibly (we don't know) mentally ill. Whereas I'm guessing most crimes locally are committed for money, (ie things that can be sold), food (if someone is really desperate, or to sell) or just pure mischief (like the recent goings on on Peckham Rye). I'm a 76 year old woman, and I feel safe on the streets, and I frequently go to Central London. If you seriously don't feel safe living here, why on earth don't you go and live somewhere else?! It's absolute nonsense to say London is lawless, and it's absolute nonsense to say the police stand by and do nothing. There will always be crime. It used to be cutpurses and highwaymen. And organised gangs of thieves. And people like Jack the Ripper.

  No it is not, it is a fact whether you like it or not. Do you feel safe on the streets, because I don't, do you go too central London, I don't as I don't feel safe. No one knows if someone is i) carrying a weapon or a knife and ii) you don't know what will trigger them to use it. So feel free to live in your bubble, but the reality is London is lawless and the police stand by and do nothing.
- Electrician recommendation: Electrical Initiative Ltd

  Leon responded quickly to my online enquiry and to follow-up texts when arranging a date for the work. He replaced a faulty switch for my outdoor sensor light. I expected it would be difficult to find an electrician willing to take on such a small job. So I was really pleased to find Leon and would definitely recommend him.
