August 15th is Cycle to Work Day https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/cycle-to-work-day-2018/ and (just by chance) it's also Bike Train day.

Southwark Cyclists Bike Train is an escorted ride from Nunhead and Peckham Rye stations into central London. Depending on who comes along and where they want to go we can take you right to your work place door. https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/bike-train-to-central-london-18/

We set off at 7.45am from Nunhead station, swing by Peckham Rye (meeting at the bike stands behind McDonalds) and then head up glorious Surrey Canal Path. We will be using Quietway 1 which is only 10 mins very easy ride from Peckham Town Centre. It's a gem.

QW1 crosses all the approach roads to the Thames bridges ? starting with Tower Bridge, London Bridge, Southwark Bridge and finally Blackfriars. Riders can be taken to any one of them, take your pick and we can take you on if you let us know in advance. We get to the river around 8.30am

Any queries text me on 07842 640 207 or mail us on [email protected]. Everyone welcome. Return rides arranged on request. Most things arranged on request. If the Bike Train doesn?t suit you, ask about our Bike Taxis ? your free personal escort to work. https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/bike-taxi-underway/

  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.

  I would not use anyone else, he now does my son and daughters boiler services and my own. He recently replaced a very old boiler and it all went well with a year guarantee. Such a lovely person to deal with too. Very good value for money! I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

- Clapham to Dulwich Advice

  Well why don’t you start totally backwards and have an idea as to what nursery and primary schools you want to target - plenty of good schools as you know each offering their own take. large home - what are we talking about here 4/5 beds I assume with a large garden. North Dulwich Triangle - are you talking about Half Moon Lane and up to Herne Hill plus the other side say Stradella Road etc but don’t think your budget would stretch that far ! So really you want to reproduce what you have in and around Abbeyville Road but in Dulwich area to access both the good private and state schools - use to Live in Rodenhurst Road years ago - now they are nice big house with good gardens. How long do you want to commute to get to the City.? I assume you want to aces the city via ED Station or ND station and Denmark Hill Station. I know some people who actually cycle to work in the city - faster and not trapped in carriage like a sardine.! One would hope for the money you are considering spending, you won’t be undergoing major works. Dulwich Estate are not known to be the easiest to deal with and my recommendation if you are gonna be knocking down walls, building out or up is to get your self a good surveyor who is use to dealing with Dulwich Estate. My other suggestion would be to try out the trains in rush hour or when ever you both need to get into the City to work. Go walk in Dulwich Park and talk to the locals - that would give you an idea as well or do you have friends living locally. Houses around Telegraph Hill area would tick the boxes and although limited with schooling might be OK. Good schools but not as much choice as Dulwich. To be perfectly honest, with that budget and given the ages of your children why don’t you move to the country. - much better for bringing up kids, commute would prob be under an hour depending on how far and which county. Your kids are still young so really education atm is not paramount. If moving to the country is too far a jump then why don’t you consider maybe Beckenham or Bromley - lovely areas there as well. schools all decent to. Wishing you the best in your journey.
