I'm interested in understanding the preferred methods of transport, particularly in Yr 7 from kids living at the Peckham Rye end of East Dulwich.


For now my son is signed up to the school bus, which seems to work quite well in the morning. After school you seem to have sit and wait for 30-40 minutes before it leaves, though.


Cycling seems the way forward, I think we need to build his confidence a bit and then aim to switch to that.


Thanks in advance for any experiences.

Our Y7 takes the 363 to near the Woodhouse Pub and goes down the walkway to Sydenham Hill Station railway bridge or gets off at the Dome Hill Park stop and walks down Rock Hill. Then walks through the estate and comes out at back of the school.


They?re looking at doing the above cycle route too.

One of mine has always cycled, meeting up with a group of her friends at the library before heading across the park. The other originally took the P13, then the 363/Rock Hill route. Since Covid she?s been walking, which takes about the same time as the bus.


Cycling?s definitely quickest, and with pannier bags or a basket they?re not lugging their bags quite as far which I?m sure is better for their backs.

    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
