What KK really means, but is too shy to say so, is that he is not that type of greedy bastard who would hawk some free tickets to his neighbours but that the he would really like to give them away to a worthy cause. So get your stories in.

This is the ticket allocation by library:

Blue Anchor 100

Brandon 50

Camberwell 100

Dulwich 100

East Street 50

Grove Vale 50

John Harvard 1370

Kingswood 50

Newigon 1250

Nunhead 50

Peckham 700


All seems a bi wonky - Peckham has 3x the library users compared ot Camberwell both the same distance from The Shard but Peckham library 7x the tickets.

Also 4 free tickets per person which is higher than the average household number seems daft.


But at least my colleague Paul Noblet who has campaigned for free residents access has achieved this http://www.london-se1.co.uk/news/view/6398

Got to Grove Vale at 1pm, was 37th in the queue!!


Waited an hour on the off chance but it was quite clear it was no go.


Ridiculous allocating four per person - apparently people are selling them on eBay :(


Why wasn't there a draw, with people invited to apply online? Would have been much fairer and I and the others queuing wouldn't have got very wet :))


James - how about campaigning for a discount for Southwark residents? No way will I be able to go otherwise. But hey at least I once went to a champagne reception on the top of what was once the NatWest tower :))

It's only a tenner (or it was about a year ago) to go to the bar up Tower 42. The two of us treated ourselves to champers. That's a view! (That is to say you buy a drink/s to the value of a tenner.) Shard is maybe two and a half times as high? Explains ?25! Not defending it. I think it's an atrocious price (even though I bought some - I just love heights), but 4000 free tickets for Southwark is absolutely not enough.

Penthouse Accommodation in the Shard.

Ref James Basrber's claim of a 700 ticket allocation for Peckham Library,

I don't know where he got his figures from but as we were in the first 5 of the Peckham queue, the librarian told us that there were only 200 tickets allocated to Peckham Library!!!

One of the best features of this forum is that now and again a poster swoops in through clouds and clouds of murky speculation with a brilliant FACT. **cue other posters shrinking back, shielding their eyes and yelping, It burns! It burns!** James Barber, thanks for the allocation details and a tip of the hat, please, to your colleague.


If as Sue recommended he can wring another few freebie tickets out of the Shard's management, well, yes. Please. But with library-based queueing, for continued comedy.

    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
