Not sure about Overhill but for comparison, Crystal Palace Road is not usually gritted and when there's more than an inch or 2 of snow, the junction with Goodrich becomes a clusterfuck of incompetent motorists who obviously just *had* to make their journey, sliding all over the road.


If you're that worried about it then perhaps best not to drive in the snow unless you absolutely have to.

South Bank is quite walkable - unless you've got a lot of stuff to carry, or are physically impaired. I walked to work in Moorgate during the last heavy snowfall, it was almost enjoyable.


Alternatively, buses often keep running. Even if they're not making it over DKH, you could walk over to Camberwell or Peckham and try picking one up from there.

yeah I tend to walk it as well - as Jeremy says it's almost enjoyable (providing you don't seriously hurt yourself with a head-over-heels incident)


But if the buses are running then 176 is best. A train to LB and walk along the South Bank isn't so bad either (maybe a train from Denmark Hill/Herne Hill to Blackfriars would suit as well)

If it gets so bad transport if up the creek and you are able/its not too far defo do the walk as SJ/ Jeremy say. Did it a couple years ago into Bermondsey Street. Wellies, thick socks and it was brilliant. Peaceful and nothing (apart from a deep fried pizza amongst other things) beats the crunch of fresh snow under your feet.
We've recently moved from Overhill Road and it was never gritted - 2 years ago I tried to get my car up the hill and into the drive but it spun around and crashed into the wall. Had to get the RAC out and about 5 builders came and helped push it back down - I was very embarrassed and my husband was furious! I hope they do grit it for you - they definitely should. Good luck and be careful xxxx

    • 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. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • 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.
