London Road starts at the junction with Wood Vale. P4's seem to be going up Lordship Lane towards the library.

London Road starts at the junction with Wood Vale. OK - I had assumed it was London Road when it was the A205 - which it is where the A205 swings round at the Grove Tavern. But Google maps supports London Road starting at Wood Vale.
Not helped by the idiots driving on the wrong side of the road through the ?road closed? signs, to discuovet the road is indeed CLOSED [who would have thought it?]. Cue lots of three point turns, including from an articulated Screwfix lorry which got stuck. Police motorbike rider on scene as of 20 mins ago to help with traffic control.
I watched people drive down Sydenham Hill this morning - discover no right turn (road layout means that?s only option) so they took a left. Unfortunately that meant driving into the green filter lane for oncoming traffic trying to get up the hill. As Wood Vale is open, there were a few. The mind boggles 😳

"I watched people drive down Sydenham Hill this morning - discover no right turn (road layout means that?s only option) so they took a left"


I'm so confused - I thought when you drove down Sydenham Hill (with recreation ground on your right ,estate on your left ) you could only turn left ?


What am I missing ????

I think you are both right.


Yes to have to turn left normally. But now you need to turn right in front of the Horniman towards Forest Hill.


But the road layout means it?s difficult to turn right which probably explains why the articulated lorry mentioned above had to turn left and do a three point turn.

?Total gridlock as @thameswater?s tri-annual water feature on London Road rips up the tarmac and forces traffic onto the Horniman Heights."

Buses are diverted northbound via Honor Oak Road and buses are unable to serve stops between Wood Vale/Forest Hill Road and Lordship Lane/Wood Vale. Buses are diverted southbound via Honor Oak Road, London Road, Dartmouth Road and Kirkdale, and are unable to serve stops between Wood Vale/Forest Hill Road and Horniman Park.


176, 185, 197 - LORDSHIP LANE, SE22: Routes 176 185 and 197 are diverted via Barry Road, Peckham Rye, Forest Hill Road and Honor Oak Road due to emergency waterworks on Lordship Lane, and buses are unable to serve stops between Dulwich Library and Horniman Museum.

To be clear, the lorry was coming from Forest Hill on the South Circular towards East Dulwich - he and at least 10 other cars drove around the "road closed" signs by the petrol station, and again by the Sydenham Hill turning, then got stuck just before the road works opposite Wood Vale (i.e. on the other side of the road). Total idiots.


The right turn from Sydenham Hill seemed to be working ok other than the fact that people were ignoring the road closed signs the other way.

176, 185, 197 and 363 are using Honor Oak Road.

"But now you need to turn right in front of the Horniman towards Forest Hill."


when you say turn right in front of the Horniman are you talking about traffic coming down Sydenham Rise ? Sydenham Hill joins the main road well before the Horniman if I recall .

I mean Sydenham Hill, turning right by the Horniman Play Park towards the Horniman museum. It?s a tight right-hand turn because of the road layout and traffic lights.

    • Helen and Steve did an incredible job transforming our garden (erecting a new fence, building decking, laying a new lawn and planting). Helen is very thoughtful and helped to prepare a detailed plan ahead of the work starting aligned to what we wanted and within our budget. The team worked quickly and efficiently and were incredibly polite and professional throughout. Everything was carried out to such a high standard and I couldn’t be happier with the result - we have got so much enjoyment from the garden since then. Highly recommend!
    • Silly question, but have you reported this elsewhere as well as on here? Eg passport office, banks (if there are bank cards), police? Because if someone is carrying around their passport (assuming it's theirs) they must be pretty devastated if they have lost it, and it's fairly unlikely they will see this post, though fingers crossed.
    • * Big, sick & tired sigh * Ok, so here is this year's small selection of Gala litter that has been left behind. I have to emphasise, it is only a small part of what is still there, collected on Tuesday from a relatively small area in the south of the ex-site. I also have to emphasise this only took about an hour of slow wandering, using only my eyes & hands - no specialist equipment, and I'm not a paid employee of a specialist waste management company. And to confirm, this is after "The site was checked at the end of GALA’s tenancy and found to be clear of event-related litter" by the Council / Parks Dept. There's 488 items there, many of which would be potentially hazardous to children, pets & wildlife. Not least the small bag in the bottom left corner, still containing a suspicious white substance. I'm hoping to pass this on to the police for testing, ensuring it is recorded for the purposes of next year's licence consideration.  Please - before anyone posts any comments defending this, denying it is festival related, insulting me, whatever - just go and have a close look yourself, particularly where the tents, stages & toilets were sited. It's obviously from the festival, and there's still loads of it there, all over our park. It is literally being trashed, year after year, despite repeated assurances from the organisers.  I'm sick of it, it's just so depressing.
    • Ah, ok. I only glanced at it,  and obviously didn't properly read even the tiny bit I glanced at 🤣 Sorry!
