Seems there were a large group of people on Forest Hill Road (near Herne Tavern group of shops)heading in direction of local cemetery and there was a shooting with at least one person hitting the ground. A friend of mine has just let me know about it as he had just got off the bus there at the time.

Yes I was just about to go to the bus stop. Going to work.


It was cordoned off by the police. Gang shooting. I decided to go straight back home. I live on Marmora Road.. the shooting was at the bus stop directly around the corner from it on New Forest Road.

I was going past in a car at about 3.10pm and saw a man lying on the ground and there were no police or ambulances there so it must have literally just happened. I thought perhaps he had collapsed but there were people looking after him so I didn't stop. Up the road there were around 100 people just outside/inside the cemetery looking as if they were about to attend a funeral. I'm guessing the two were linked somehow?

About 20 minutes ago, my husband was walking past Camberwell New Cemetery and said it appeared to a be gang shooting. Two police helicopters circling overhead. It was mayhem on Forest Hill Road, near the French Cafe - police with machine guns. Looks like it was some kind of gang funeral and someone opened fire. Some very dodgy looking characters - and those are just the women. Multiple road and air ambulances in peckham park. Helicopter above. Guy at scene says 3 dead and several injured.


All unsubstantiated of course. Terrible news for the families.

I heard this as I left at about 11.30 and yet when I went to (do a funeral at) Lambeth Crematorium, that crematorium had police helicopters circling as well and yet there weren't any young people being cremated there today. No idea what they were doing there as well. But indeed I agree, a sad day for the families and friends involved.

    • I would also like to recommend Andy for plumbing. I had a leak under my kitchen tap and he was able to visit and resolve the issue in the same day. Prompt and efficient service and very professional. 
    • It's about ensuring it's the medical facilities you are accessing, hence the sign-in actually in Tessa Jowell. And I think there are visual as well as camera checks, after all a number of people drive in and out of the car park to drop patients off. Clearly they are not parked up, so it's not relevant if they are fleetingly on camera. It's only those actually parked who need to identify themselves as patients. 
    • Thanks CPR Dave for the link to Southwark's leaf cleaning schedule. Good to see that.   I think that what may have happened was the leaves weren't cleared during the scheduled week for Whateley Road, which was w/c 17 November.  Then they were cleared a couple of weeks ago instead. We have been here through all of autumn,  and there has been a steady build-up of leaves on this stretch since October.  At one point there was a deep layer to wade through. The photos I posted were from 17 December, and as you can see,  the leaves had been trampled and compressed into the ground. It looked a lot worse at times.   Lots of school kids from the primary school walk up and down this pavement.   In case this happens next year,  I have found a contact page about streets https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/contact-us-about-transport-and-roads - so I could ask them what their plans are.  
    • Amrutha is excellent, unless you are died in the wool meat and two veg most will find the food to their taste and it certainly isn't a place that expects you to be a sandal wearing vegan. Recommend Matoon too, there are many great places in SE23, SE4 and SE26 if you get chance to get on a bus. Don't have takeaways very often and would only do this when they employ their own delivery people due to all the issues with the slave labour that is Deliveroo and the like (and numerous other issues).  Yes it is a different thread but I can't stop myself reminding people.
