Have they gone? I hope so. I didn't care for them much either and I think they are what put a lot of people off going in there in the first place.


Best of luck Nadia. Keep up the good work.

Hi LikkleWabbit

The little Yorkie is mine - he is called Archie but comes ova with me when I am meeting with Nadia - I live and have my office in Hackney so don't come over every day

Archie says "wuff-wuff" for thinking of him

Not necessarily as if you want to sell it as a going concern you'd carry on as usual and taking bookings. So I'll just see what happens. Had heard about it from 2 different sources, so I did not start the rumour for those of you that seem to think I did. Just questioning what I had heard. Like I said previosly nobody has actually said no its not on the market.

Have you even bothered to read The Rose's post?

The Herne, Clock House and Rye Hotel are all wonk.


The FHT, aka Rose, aka The Royal Oak, make some attempt to be a real pub, with locals, a pub quiz that is not a clone of all the other ones doing the rounds and some live music.


True the beer is a disaster but then again if there are only a few of us who drink it. And lots of things they do don't seem to work.


But it is not the Herne, Clock House or Rye, so you can go in and sit down and have a drink without feeling a lepper because you are not eating.

I never eat in the Rye, maybe I'm seen as a leper :0


They used to have Saturday night live bands - but not since the summer holidays.

    • It shouldn't be a difficult DIY job. Replacement cylinders are available here are a couple  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/236294046742  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/177388193151 What is the make and model of your chair?? Unless its a Herman Miller then its worth fixing but some other may not be worth it.
    • Returning to the question, although still not directly answering I'm afraid as ive not lived on that road: I have previously lived in a house where the railway line was behind the house and over a playing field, and also in a flat blocked from the railway line by at least one more block worth of houses. I would not live that close to a railway line again. In the house the noise with the windows open always disturbed me at night. And you need to bear it mind it is not just the timetables of passenger trains you need to consider, at night time there could be freight trains too. That was my problem in the flat: not noise, I was shielded from that, but the weight of the freight trains passing made the whole building shake enough to wake me up. If you are a sounder sleeper or less sensitive to noise it could be fine. I would suggest checking if freight trains use that route though.
    • Thanks TWB, that is all really useful. However, if  memory serves, The Fox Project actually directed me to The Fox Angels when I phoned them, and had no facilities in this area for sending anybody out themselves. They seem to be based in Tunbridge Wells. The Greenwich Wildlife Network also just suggests other organisations who may help in certain situations. To the best of my knowledge, however, for situations involving foxes, including injured or ill  foxes, Fox Angels are the only people who have someone available very locally who can come out virtually immediately (I waited maybe half an hour after I phoned them). The person who came had all the necessary equipment to move the fox, was very gentle and caring, and took the fox to a local vet (it sadly died). It's possible that if you phoned a local vet they would help, if you could get the fox there. The RSPCA has guidelines on what to do if you find an  animal in need,  however although they have recently had a campaign on this (and sent me a badge and a copy of the guidelines on a pocket sized card) I can't find them online. I attach a photo. Don't know if the QR code would work from a photo.    
    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road).
