They used to credit the amount to your TW account and you had to remember to check it had appeared. Earlier this year, there were water woes around SE22/23 edges and this time, they sent a cheque. Somewhat cynically, I did wonder whether they'd decided that not everyone would cash the cheque so they might get away with 90% take up rather than the direct credit. However, it might be because it's more tangible and visible for those expecting it.

Low pressure or no water

Last updated Sunday 4 November 2018 - 01:50hrs.


We have successfully rerouted the water from the surrounding area, this means your water supply will now begin to return as the pressure in the pipe begins to increase.


Whilst our teams continue working to repair the broken pipe, some customers may experience fluctuations in their pressure, especially if you are in a flat or high rise building.




The bottled water is available for collection from 0900hrs at the below location:


Straker's Road, SE15 3UA


We sorry for any disruption caused.

No evidence on Whateley Road of pressure returning to normal.

the water has gone again this morning - we managed to get 1 flush from the loo last night, since Friday. No water coming into the cistern this morning. I rang Thames water, they said they are aware there are still problems in SE22 & working on it & bottled water available across the rye on Strakers, but bottled water is not going to help us flush the loo:(

The pressure remains low on Melbourne Grove. We're lucky enough to have water - which clearly not everybody does - but are having to prioritise its use. I've turned the boiler off altogether as it's struggling (due to lack of water pressure) to even supply the hot taps.

If you have an old style system with a cold water tank supplied from the mains, then normally the heating part of the central heating system is sealed - so that the boiler heats hot water for the radiators and for a coil through your hot water cylinder which then heats the water for washing etc. which will be supplied via your cold water tank (modern systems may be different) - the sealed system uses a pump to move the water round your pipes. So heating radiators should be fine, although supply to your cold water tank (and thence your cylinder) will rely on mains pressure.

Low pressure or no water

Last updated Monday 5th November 2018 - 05:10.


Our teams have successfully completed the repair and are now in the process of putting the repaired pipe back into use. Customers in the area will notice lower pressure than normal, but this will slowly increase as the water pressure builds up in the area. If you are in a flat or high rise building, it will take slightly longer to build up and return to normal.


If your water is cloudy, this is quite normal following our repairs but it's best to run your cold kitchen tap for a few minutes once your water is back on.

Should you require bottled water, it remains available for collection from 08:30hrs at the below location:


Straker's Road, SE15 3UA

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By malumbu · Posted

      There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).

      I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?

      To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
