Re: Timings for Torch route along Peckham High St/Rd on 26 July

Posted by Applespider July 22, 02:56PM



It's not that hard to find the street by street timings around. The BBC torch site has them - and lets you know if it's on schedule on the day...

[www.bbc.co.uk]


Be warned - crowds tend to start gathering at least 30 minutes beforehand. I think the points listed here are the actual torch 'kisses' where it's busier but you do get to see it for longer than when it's just going past.

10:30 Old Kent Road A2

10:41 Trafalgar Avenue B215

10:47 Sumner Road B215

10:52 Peckham Hill Street B215

10:56 Peckham High Street A202

10:57 Peckham Road A202

11:00 Lyndhurst Way

11:00 Harris Academy at Peckham

11:57 Lyndhurst Way

11:57 Peckham Road A202

12:05 Camberwell Church Street A202

12:09 Lambeth

12:09 Denmark Hill A215

12:10 Coldharbour Lane A2217

12:30 Acre Lane A2217

Been & gone. As one shopkeeper said, the last time it was this busy was during the riots.

Imho, good vibe, happy clappy flag waving, kids with their excellent home made flames, friendly smiling police, clean streets and empty odourless bins plus sunshine all of which pleased pretty much everyone - even the local curmudgeons. Win win.

    • Thanks Penguin. It could be a coincidence. But after years of road safety being on the local agenda they finally put the crossings in months before Dulwich Estates regain the lease on The Grove.   The Estate understands there is strong local interest in improving this area and we hope to be in a position to share some exciting updates in the near future. The temporary skatepark will remain unaffected. “Temporary skatepark” is telling.    
    • Back to my earlier post about familiarity.  I was in Croydon this afternoon walking between the two main stations.  Didn't feel unsafe, but there were some 'interesting' characters on the street.  Not that any were bothered with me. Not a place I'd choose to go for a bit of a fun.  Although having said that West Croydon has some cracking restaurants and the wonderfully named Saints and Sinners bar, where I once went on a corporate do - not that I did many of these. Whoops just checked and it closed a few months ago. Back on track, I never went to the Castle as I felt it was a bit rough.  How wrong was I?  Only real pub left in the area.
    • Wow Sue! I was reading your post with interest as I’ve never really felt unsafe in London and I was born here. It was just your last paragraph that derailed me and totally changed the subject matter! So unnecessary.
