I've been meaning to write a post on this for ages - after a terrible experience with Linkways in Honor Oak, we recently tried Rye Cars for a couple of journeys and were so impressed with them I wanted to recommend to others.


Their drivers were on time / early, incredibly polite and honest - I paid one driver ?10 too much as I'd misheard the price and he gave it straight back to me without a second thought. Their cars were also very clean and the price good, even for a night time pick up from central London. The only thing was that we had to fix the baby seat in ourselves as I don't think the driver really knew how to do it, but that was fine by us. We will definitely be using them again!

We ve had mixed experiences with Rye cars, including a no show for an airport run and no car seats also for an airport run despite having pre-booked and confirmed 4 hours before. Their drivers are lovely though so we ended up using them again. Not sure I will after the last bad experience (the car seat incident) as we very nearly missed our flight.
I guess you can never really tell. We got sent the wrong car seats with Linkways even though we'd told them our baby was only 3 months old at the time. We then got driven around to Honor Oak for no apparent reason and then back again to East Dulwich where the car seat we actually needed was located before heading off to the airport. He could have gone and sorted everything out first and then picked us up, but instead it meant I'd had to do the milk feed early and then got stuck in the car with a screaming hungry baby when the delay got us stuck in the thick of rush hour. maybe the worst thing though was that the driver really wanted to have a massive political debate / argument (?!) the entire journey - not what you need when you are new parents!

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
