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.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
