if you've got a compass and stand near the house you can work it out.

basically if youre stood on Lacon Road, the sun comes form Crystal Palace Rd side and heads over to Lordship lane side, it's leaning in sky towards North Cross Rd (if you're stood on Lacon).

I have a West facing garden and based on my experience there you'll start getting shade in your garden from your house/next door's house around noon and your house will block out the sun after around 3-4pm in summer.

This is approx stuff.

I'd suggest knocking on some doors there or talking to the owner / person next door ?

Sunlight in east facing gardens depends on surrounding buildings, fence height etc e.g. how far the next building is from the foot of your garden and how tall that building is. Clearly you'll get more sun in the morning (vs west facing) , about the same amount midday and shadow earlier in the evening. If your east facing garden slopes up, away from the house you'll get more as your reducing the height at which the rooftop of your house casts shadow.


On Fellbrigg we had a 60 ft east facing garden onto Ulverscroft Rd houses (which had smaller 30 ft back yards) and got good sun until 7pm ish in June/July. You also get some shade which is important for most plants.


South facing gardens are probably best for max sunlight, west facing for evening sunlight which is also good for summertime BBQ's ......

Thanks, I know the longer the garden is the later the back will still get some sun. The garden for the house I'm looking at is about 30-35ft. Not sure how long the sun will reach the back of an eastern aspect garden in a typical two-storey victorian semi. In the summer time, if the back of the garden got some sun through the evening so you could sit out after work, I think I could live with that, even if the rest of the garden was in shade.

I'm in Ulverscroft Road (on the odd-numbered side) and I'm pretty sure my garden faces East.


It doesn't get sun in the evening except around midsummer, but also it's quite a small garden.


It's good now I'm not working because I can sit in the garden in the sun in the morning, but when I was working it was a pain.

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
