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.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
