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.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
