Anyone else unable to think because of the volume of music at the adventure playground, Peckham Rye Park ?


I have rung the noise team and been told that as this is a planned event the DJ can play his music at what ever level he wishes and that they are not going to do anything about it. I have been told that there have been a number of other complainants

All that I have been told is that if it continues at the same level at 20.00 they, the noise team that is, may come out although I know in advance that they won't find it at a nuisance level.


I will be writing letters of complaint to the manager of the playground, Peckham Rye S.N.T, local councillors etc etc and want other signatories from those disturbed. Any takers?

Wow how miserable are some people.

I took my daughter there to today to celebrate a late Jamacian Independence Day.

I did not find the music as loud as you are saying it was. It's only once every couple of years they have it there, also all the money they make from it goes straight back into the community.

Also they were celebrating Usain Bolt's gold medals. If this happened every weekend I could understand, as I would also be annoyed, but come on it might not be music of your taste but 8 hours through the day of loud music and you want to take it as far as to complain to the manager.

I don't believe I mentioned the style of music, this is your assumption. It is entirely about volume. You wouldn't have found it annoying because you went there to be within the event, including the music volume.


When pressed, I was told by the environmental enforcement officer I spoke to on the telephone, that there were over 35 complaints from residents who were not forewarned or consulted at all. There is an arrogance about it in my opinion from the event organisers.


There is no sound insulation at all at the boundary of the venue and no consideration is made for the local residents. The volume is way in excess of what would be a statutory nuisance ordinarily.


Like the DJ today, I also intend to have my voice heard and if anyone else wants to put pen to paper too, Please PM me.


Every couple of years! No. The last event that was far too loud from that place was on the 29/4/12 and again on the 22/4/12 then one about 2 weeks ago.

Why are you complaining about this at 4.45 pm?


It's not exactly late is it?


Live & let live.

Live and let live, what does that mean in an unbalenced equation?

It means chill out & put up with the inconvenience!


If it carries on past midnight, you have reason to complain, but at 4.45pm?

Enjoy the music & feel happy for them, that they have a lovely sunny day to enjoy their celebration.


Does this happen on a regular basis? I think not. So why moan about a one-off event?

Did you experience it as a resident and from what vantage?

It actually wasn't that big of an event. It was only in the adventure playground. A DJ, a BBQ, face painting, bouncy castle and ice cream van.

It was planned to finish at 8, but I don't know if it went on later than planned.

It was a lovely day and the children enjoyed it very much.

Sorry your child was sick but I'm sure a bit of outside noise at a reasonable time does not harm nobody.

Well to be fair to Pipsky I could clearly hear the music and MC from inside our Tenants Hall so yes, I have to agree it was probably louder than it needed to be to cater for the event. We have fun days etc from time to time around our Tenants Hall and if we had our sound system and DJs at that noise level we would certainly be subjected to lot's of complaints. Just because it's a one off event doesn't mean there should be a lack of consideration for the impact on local residents.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      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  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      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.
