I'm sure I'm not the only King's employee who has had notes left on my car in Grove Park SE5 asking them not to park there. King's staff work hard for their community and it is very hurtful after a hard days work to return to their car to a note asking them to move their car and park somewhere else. My car has been damaged twice. While parking is not permit only King's staff will continue to park in a convenient place, near to work, and unfortunately living in London we all have to put up with a little inconvenience. I would ask people in Grove park to have a little understanding. I know this is not strictly East Dulwich but wasn't sure how else to communicate this.
It would be lovely to use a bus but I live in Kent and provide my specialist nursing skills at the Hospital for YOUR local community. I have to use a car and not public transport as I also visit other hospitals to provide medical treatment to people nearer their home. Local residents can probably use a bus to get to their destination better than we can, so maybe they should consider their need to own a car.
Maybe you could leave a note on your dashboard explaining that you are a nurse etc. and that you need your car for work. Can you not get one of those Southwark Parking Badges that allow you to park anywhere in Southwark if you are providing medical services? I know doctors get them.

On a bigger scale of things, Kings College Hospital governors and staff are more than aware of the nightmare of the car parking situation, and Lambeth have refused permission for them to build a multi storey car park.


Everyone needs to write to Lambeth Council planning to ask them about this.


Having said that, I remember some time ago reading on this very site, something about possible moves in this area and that we should watch this space. Who was it, and what was that news!?

I don't agree with notes/vandalism but you've also got to see it from the point of view of people who live in the street where you are parking surely?


King's staff work very hard for the community so why don't King's provide free parking?


My husband drives to Hammersmith some days if he's on an early shift and there's no buses/tubes. He has a workplace carpark. When he comes home it can be a nightmare to park and for other people in the road who have young children, heavy shopping and have to traipse a long way from their house, sometimes streets away, and yes we live a 10 minute walk from King's.


I don't think anyone can question owning a car just because we live in London really.

I love the CAPITALS!


'specialist nursing skills for YOUR local community'


Really? You think so?


Several things....


How many of YOUR patients do you think you are looking after because they're local?


When do you plan to stop positioning yourself as a foreigner who looks after retarded LOCAL people because you're doing it on charity?


I'm absolutely sure that your car parking space in Camberwell is being persecuted, and I understand that you feel this is unnecessary, but I'm also pretty sure that your own attitude about US and THEM is probably pumping this up to an unpleasant level.

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate.
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
