Olympic Torch coming to Southwark Thursday 26 July


In less than three weeks the Olympic Flame will tour our borough in the hands of 15 Torchbearers. It will travel across the Millennium Bridge, past Shakespeare?s Globe, down to Bricklayers Arms, and through the Old Kent Road before stopping for lunch at Harris Academy in Peckham before continuing on through Camberwell. The exact route can be found on our website alongside videos of our torchbearers telling their story and explaining why they were nominated. So get clicking and find out how near your home or workplace the Flame will come.


This is an historic moment and we want everyone to join in, so on 26 July come out and cheer, wave flags and let the world know how proud you are to live in Southwark.


To get in the Games spirit, we have decorated our streets with 2012 banners which you can see alongside the route and across many of our high streets. Perhaps you are a local leader and have organised for your friends and neighbours to cheer on the Flame through our streets?

I am told the torch relay will stop at Peckham Academy for a 'lunch' break at around 11am. So it will be in Peckham High St from about 10/15 minutes before that. It is coming past the oldest parts of historic Peckham buildings in Peckham or later. Buildings as old as number 58 Peckham High Street, the house near Burger King, and built in the 17th century; and including the curved terrace on the junction with Peckham Hill Street; the lovely row of buildings facing Peckham Hill Street, and more.


These are all part of the significant historic heritage we have in Peckham and which justified the town centre Conservation Area designated last October, and the successful Heritage Lottery Fund bid for a Townscape Heritage Initiative grant of ?1.7m. This will provide for selected historic restoration of some of those buildings and some in Rye Lane over the next few years.

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
