Is this a known danger spot? I crossed yesterday morning about 11am and got screamed at by a motorbiker as his tyres smelled of burnt rubber. Today a friend of mine just rang me to say he nearly ran me over at the same place. Of course I checked the road. I'm scared to cross the road again tomorrow in case it is 3rd time unlucky...
Do you mean the junction of Friern Road (where 12 buses stand) with Lordship Lane? Did you try and cross using the island? This can be dicey as cars coming round the bend from The Grove do tend to speed. Best bet to walk down to lights outside Dulwich Library.

One of the big problems is cars accelerating from the lights at the Plough towards Forest Hill - especially the boy racers who go into the (left-turn only) bus lane alongside the Plough. Instead of turning left into Barry Road, they accelerate from the lights to get past the queue of cars in the right hand lane. By the time they get to Friern Road, they're already in 3rd/4th gear, doing 40 on Lordship Lane.

Not sure how you stop them, others than cameras at the lights and along Lordship.

This also happened to me, a speeding motorbike came round the corner towards the Library(south to north)and I actually had to turn back or it would have hit me.


That stretch could do with some kind of crossing or obvious speed cameras to deter this.


There are two bus stops between the library and Underhill Road crossings, but no safe route to get to them without walking down to either of those crossings.

    • Sue. You really don’t have to keep saying about the electoral system    a) we all know about it b) it doesn’t matter    FPTP is the system we have always had and hopefully we will get rid of it someday but it is what it is    when anyone suggests changing the system Corbyn is right there at the front of the queue to prevent it   so its pointless him or any of supporters complaining about it    the evidence you want is the result of the elections. You can’t have clearer evidence. 
    • Has anyone from the school commented? Have they said why? Is it a fresh start? Is it that Grove in the name may have connotations of wealth and they want to attract more applicants from a wider area? Is that it currently is linked to the DKH Estate? 
    • As you quite rightly say a sample of 500 is extremely  small. (actually unrepresentative in the scheme of things) Now corbyn has his own party or should that be Party, it'll be interesting to see if it is merely a "think tank" or if it contests seats and then if they win any and if they chase currently held seats by Labour. It'll be even more amusing if it unseats current Labour Ministers though.
