Our GP made an urgent appointment for hubby at the Lister for Monday as no appointments available at usual practice.

I know where the Lister is but cannot figure out from their website as to how to access their car park, is it from the main Peckham Road or from off Commercial Way. Hubby is on crutches following an operation and can only walk a few steps - I have borrowed a wheelchair to get from car to surgery, but do not have a blue badge, so cannot leave hubby in surgery whilst I find a parking space in street as I am aware there is limited spaces for those without a parking permit.


There seems to be a barrier across the road entrance from Peckham Road. Can anyone advise?

Hubby cannot walk more than 2 steps with crutches and has difficulty getting in and out of a car - he can do ours as seats a reasonable height otherwise it takes 2 people to hold him and at 17 stone this is not easy. The main problem is that he has limited movement in lifting his leg up - can only raise it a couple of inches, I use a stick to walk but could manage pushing a wheelchair short distances. Looks as though a cab is the only resort. I might have a drive down there this afternoon and check where the nearest parking is - I could drop him off at the barrier and push him to the reception then go and park nearby - at least I know he can get in and out of car.
I realise this is too late for tomorrow but in future it might be useful to know there is a non-emergency hospital transport service run by the NHS. I overheard someone asking about it at Kings the other day and they were given a number to ring and it all seemed quite straightforward to arrange. Some details here: https://www.nhs.uk/common-health-questions/nhs-services-and-treatments/how-do-i-organise-transport-to-and-from-hospital/

Many thanks for your suggestions - I knew about the hospital transport but it is only to hospitals but not medical Centres. We are only having to go to the Lister as our GP surgery cannot do the dressing change as no appointments available at such short notice - that's why they arranged for the Lister. We go back to our GP (The Gardens) in 12 days time for the wound clips to be removed, and that is not a problem as I can usually park near the surgery and he is well known there so I can get him into the surgery and then find a parking space.


I am going to do quick visit now to the Lister to check out nearby parking as our 14 year old grandson is going to take him into the surgery in his wheel chair whilst I find a parking space. I remembered that he was staying over today for a few days to help his Dad with moving some of my furniture around.

Managed the trip well as able to park in the car park as the barriers were broken - I did check with a staff member who stated it was for staff but they could not enforce whilst barriers broken. Went via a small turning off Southampton Way - a few places to park in the street.

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
