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!

    • You can get a card at the till, though, to get the discount. You don't have to carry it with you (or load it onto your phone), you can just get a different card each time. Not sure what happens if they notice 🤣
    • Yes..that may be the case but membership STARTING at £115 a month is still unafforable for many. Council gyms also have a large range of equipment and I had a  PT at Dulwich leisure centre when I was in Full Time employment who was incredible and even kept in contact during lockdown giving me a program I could do at home and checking in weekly at no charge or personal gain for herself. I dont doubt that Fit For may be a good gym (Its been in situ long enough so must be doing something right) However the cost of membership means it is affordable for the few not the many. If I could afford that kind of fee I would rather get a train to Canary Wharf and go to Virgin active where theres a pool and incredible classes and facilities 
    • This sounds great 👍 
    • We found a red TREK bike yesterday that had clearly been stolen and dumped. Would love to reunite it with its owner. Get in touch if you know whose it is.
