King's Coronation Street Parties in East Dulwich

[CPR Dave]

Would be great fun if there were parties all over the neighbourhood on 7 May for the King's coronation.

Is your road organising a street party for the King's coronation?

[Chick]

No.

[Steve888]

Hopefully not.

[Spartacus]

Seems there's a happy bunch on this thread.

Its a once in a generation event (hopefully) and what a bunch of killjoys you three are.

For those wanting to join into the spirit of the occasion, the deadline for applying is 28 February and fast approaching.

I’d prefer the UK to be a republic, so not interested.

However, if those who feel differently want to celebrate then it doesn’t bother me. That said, it’s 2023 not 1953 so shifting all the parked cars around here would be quite the feat!

That was well publicised by the council 🙈

[first mate]

I don't have strong feelings either way but, yes, the bias is plain for all to see, especially when we consider the rationale for extending Gala in the park to a month has been built around the narrative of the Council's really strong desire to fund free community events.

It will be fascinating to see which ' community' events they push and which not.

Just because I am not a royal sycophant doesn’t make me a kill joy.

I'm interested to hear if CPR Dave is organising anything for Crystal Palace Rd or anywhere else.

Its a once in a generation event (hopefully)

Aside from abdication, it is pretty much a once in a generation event by definition...

[Penguin68]

A generation is generally taken as 30 years. That means that on average people might expect at least 2 and possibly 3 coronations in their lifetime. This will be my second. I'm the same age (give or take) as the King so it will be a toss up whether he or I pegs out first.

[Lebanums]

Yes! Yes!

Our street have had the chat & made the application.

We have a couple of republicans who won't be involved in the organisation but believe they will pop out to mingle.

[CPR Dave]

Crystal Palace Road is a major through route so doubt permission would be granted tbh. We've never had a street party before.

[OutOfFocus]

. We've never had a street party before.

I recall one a few years back.

BTW at first i read it as "Coronation Street" as in TV.

There have been several street parties in Crystal Palace Road.

The part of the road between The Actress and what is now The Great Exhibition was closed, with no problem getting council permission.

On one occasion the CPR party combined with Ulverscroft Road.

My partner and I ran the live music for the CPR parties, and once for Ulverscroft Road.

They only stopped because some of the people involved in organising them moved out of the area, and nobody else was interested in helping.

The remaining organisers, including us, felt it was too much work for just a few people.

I don't think any of them were connected with royal events. We were conveniently out of London for those 🤣

[CPR Dave]

Oh I must have missed those. Have only been here for 12 years though.

[Dogkennelhillbilly]

Still time for you to lead the charge, Dave. It's obviously something you're passionate about.

Shame goodrich Road ain't doing anything would be good I think
