Late last Thursday evening a woman was walking away from Peckham Rye Railway Station through Elm Grove when she was attacked and raped by 2 men who wore dark clothes and covered their faces. The Met Police are taking this crime very seriously. There will be a vigil in Holly Grove this Friday from 6-8. Please bring a candle in a jar.

Dear Tosca

Thank you for making the effort to share this news about the vigil on Friday, I was searching for news about this awful incident and NOTHING came up about the vigil so well done.

I will now share your this update via Nextdoor.

I do hope the girl is getting plenty of support from family and friends. Please also pray for her and that the two guys will be identified and put away for a very long time.

Thanks, Thunderblue600. I seems really important that people come out to the vigil whether Peckham or Dulwich or wherever in South London because we absolutely need to keep the streets safe for women. These guys (and there are no women out at night attacking women or men)need to know that they can no longer get away with years of making the streets frightening and unsafe for women. There's a poster doing the rounds, and I've attached it here. It's organised by people on the nearby streets. Just opposite the Liberal Club on Holly Grove at the gates to the park. Bring candles.

Dear Tosca

It was the very least I could do.

If you do recognise me on Friday please say hi, have attached a pic, normally quite easy to spot.

Anyway had an interesting response via the event I set up on nextdoor:


Rosie S-R ? Peckham Rye

I want to support the woman and to show solidarity as a community but I?m not sure a vigil is the right way to go..a vigil is for someone who has died. Standing around with candles is in mourning, this young girl is alive and we will be here to show support, but a vigil seems almost inappropriate. A protest maybe, or setting up a collection.


Coral R. ? Peckham Rye

Rosie I tend to agree with you. Apparently the council haven't even put lighting around the park which has been a known spot for all kinds of offences for as long as I remember. If not now, then when?


Michael Peacock ? Nunhead

Dear Rosie and Coral over the years I have attended vigils and yes always for someone that has had their life taken in a cruel hateful way. This will be the first vigil I have attended for a living person and feel it is a great idea. Cant begin to imagine the trauma this 18yo girl is experiencing right now and hope this event will offer some comfort to the victim and her family.

I reported and would encourage people to report concerns on the police website:

It takes 30 seconds.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
