Hi all,


My baby starts nursey very soon, and I am trying to organise the chaos of getting them to and from nursery, and me and my partner to and from work.


I normally get the train from ED to London Bridge, though will probably need to start going from Peckham Rye.... and the question is does anyone know if it's possible to park a car fairly close to the station on a morning? I don't really know that area.


I realise this is nowhere near as exciting as Waitrose, M&S, Burglaries and bottles of wee.... but if anyone can offer an insight it would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

I did it for a few months, you can easily park just outside the CPZ near Oglander Road. The station is then a 5 minute walk.


Take a drive / walk down one evening and scope it out. I never had a problem finding a space.


Presume there is no alternative..like walking? The traffic will drive you nuts.

Thanks guys.


It was only because I will definitely have to drive to the nursery, which is close to where Harris Girls Academy is.


So it's either leave the car there and bus to Peckham Rye Station, or drive down.


Does anyone know if s bus goes from there to the station?


Cheers

Or try something quite different - from Harris Girls School, it is about a 15- 20 minute walk to Honor Oak Park Station - I do it in 25 minutes from Nunhead Lane but I admit, I do walk quite fast. Walk south along Cheltenham Road, curve right into Kelvington Road, then when you meet Brenchley Gardens, you have a choice: either turn left then right into Camberwell New Cemetery, walk towards the chapel then turn right and follow the drive until you exit into the Recreation Ground and car park, then walk through this to Honor Oak Park (the road) then down to the station, OR when the sun is shining, when you reach Brenchley Gardens, turn right and cross the road and climb up & over One Tree Hill onto Honor Oak Park (the road). It's a lovely start to the day, the birds sing and the air is fresh. Admittedly, you can't really walk back either way in the dark, but the P12 stops outside the station and would drop you back quite near the school/nursery,.
I'd too suggest using Honor Oak Park instead of Peckham Rye. I live very near Harris Girls and every time I get the idea to go from Peckham Rye I always regret it, there is just too much traffic! Honor oak station is a 15 min walk away - or you could get the bus 343 to New Cross Gate which takes about 7 min.

The residents have to pay a fair whack to park outside their own homes, so this is the best way in my opinion.

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
