Hi sunbob,

Street parties are really aimed at people living on a particular street. they're organised by residents for residents.

The various authorities give permission on this basis else they'd need to arrange stewarding, public toilets, etc, etc.

If you want to celebrate Dulwich Park has an event. OR ask around your street and perhaps have your own street party later this summer - maybe to celebrate the Olympics.


Hi grumpyoldman, the-e-dealer,

Officially you need to get a street closure notice. This enable fire, ambulance and Police to know in advance that certain roads will be closed and not delay any blue light responses. IF lots of neighbours were to impromptu have a street party not a lot anyone could do but I would encourage you to perhaps hold one later in the summer and I'd be only to happy to help you arrange it all and give advice.

Answer the question ? someone? "Whats the situation if someone hasn't got permission and closes their Road?"


They will be arrested and the street re-opened (assuming anyone notifies the authorities). Actually, depending on the size of the road being 'closed' - and whether it's on a fire police or ambulance access route there may be little actual come-back - however anyone inconvenienced by the closure (or, for instance, having their house burnt-down because fire-engines couldn't access quickly enough) would have a damn good civil case against those closing the road, unless they were themselves party to the closure.


It's an offence to block the public highway.

Fancy coming along to our Big Picnic at Aquarius Golf Club on June 5th?


4 bands on outdoor stage, with lots of people on blankets & groundsheets eating pork pie and cucumber sandwiches with lashings of ginger beer.


A good (but not Festival standard) line up finishing at around 7-8.00pm?


Let me know so I can man the gate!!!

For all those not doing anything, but wanting to be a part of a big party, we are holding a 'Big Picnic' at Aquarius Golf Club for our local community. The line up of live bands, playing on the infamous 7th tee stage is already looking pretty good (Steve Boltz & New White Trash headlining, and support from Country Dirt, and a few other noteable local acts to be confirmed.) There will be abundant and affordable food & drink available from the 'Top of the World' Club bar, and hopefully a really 'Festival' feel to the day. Check the attached flyer/invitation for more details, or visit our Facebook event page to keep up with the buzz.

    • Sound Lounge music venue windows smashed after altercation with those putting up flags.  Interesting comparison with another country in another time below https://insidecroydon.com/2025/09/08/suttons-sound-lounge-suffers-its-own-kind-of-kristallnacht/
    • Labour are bashing themselves.  There is a difference between those who really want this government to work (there are many good things but as you have said nobody is listening) and to those who don't like Labour and would never vote of them.  The move to the right is worrying and of course worthy of discussion. I wonder if those most critical on this forum would vote Labour if they did take more draconian/authoritarian action to reduce legal and illegal migration.  I doubt it,  But perhaps outside of the metropolitan areas.....
    • It wasn't irony many of the population think he is amusing.  I can't print what I think. There is a whole wiki entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_image_of_Boris_Johnson Quoting from this: Unique aspects of Johnson's image have included his perceived comedic or humorous persona and semi-shambolic appearance. And frighteningly from a 2011 biography He is blessed with immense charisma, wit, sex appeal and celebrity gold dust; he is also recognised and loved by millions I've compared him with Quagmire from family guy in the past, giggity giggity
