I quite enjoyed the atmosphere at the Bellenden Road one. Loads of kids playing around, local traders getting some business, some nice music. It was also a realisation how much non-local car traffic use the surrounding roads as rat runs, it was incredibly quieter walking to and from Bellenden. Thanks to Southwark and the local traders for putting this together.

Completely agree, the council should be applauded for a brilliant event on Bellenden Rd. Lovely joy-filled community atmosphere with lots of smiling faces. Nice to see local traders making the most of the extra footfall with food / ice cream stalls.

Sounds good. We used to have the ED Christmas Cracker which was similar and a great community event. Was there once a similar event in summer too?

 

I walked all the way through the market on Saturday and had no idea there had been an event there until I saw this thread four days later.

Saturday's  was a total non event, sadly.

I don't recall Summer events in North Cross Road similar to the Christmas Cracker. I imagine Christmas draws more people to the shops there than Summer.

You might be right. I have a memory of street performers on a warm sunny day in Lordship Lane, but maybe it was the Xmas Cracker and it was just one of those stunning Decmber days where the sun is very bright in blue skies and 15*C feels warm for Winter

There were street parties in Crystal Palace Road in the summer, with live music from local bands etc.

Could you be thinking of those?

Unfortunately some of the organisers moved out of the area, and nobody stepped up to replace them.

There was too much work involved for the remaining organisers to do alone.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
