The man who writes the history books on Peckham, and is the editor of The Peckham Society News (which last year came second in a national magazine award for locally produced magazines), Mr John Beesley, lives near Copleston Road. If he doesn't know, I don't know who will, except for people who know, that is... www.peckhamsociety.org

Copleston Road is named after my great grandmother, Dame Eliza Copleston. The road was named after her by the man who built it. She was a great beauty of her day, and Lord Michael of Popadopalot became completely transfixed by her enormous eyes and the perfect shape of her ankle. It caused a terrific scandal at the time and is best left alone as she was a married lady with two young children at the time...


Lord Plopalot's behaviour was a complete disgrace I have heard, and I believe that he was run out of town by my grandfather. He is rumoured to have eventually made a fortune selling hair tonic before being strung up by the itinerants!

    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
