Sydenham school is one of the most homophobic schools i’ve ever had an encounter with, i sent my daughter here and she is apart of the lgbtqia+ community. I sent her thinking this was a positive environment but it was in fact the opposite. my daughter experienced severe homophobic bullying from students and staff at her time at the school, I had no choice but to pull her out of the school as she was highly depressed from all the bullying.

That is terrible. Did you take it up with the staff concerned? And/or the head teacher? 

My youngest was bullied at Sydenham (which i was not aware of until her form teacher rang me). Daughter decided to confront the bullies, and reported them to both form teacher and head of year. With the support of the school, she informed the bully's parents what she had endured and was not bullied again. This was many years ago and daughter is now a 38  year old teacher of pupils from 14 onwards. She looks out for signs of bullying and is ready to step in when necessary.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
