I have lived in London since 1994 now and as an able bodied person have jumped aboard any route master bus in motion as a matter of course.

I noticed that too Laur. Reminds me of catching the old routemaster No. 3 bus home from Kingsdale in the late 70s. We would all be hanging off the end!


The old photo of the Kings on the Rye brings back memories too. Everytime I go past the whitewash building now it just looks so out of place to what I remember.

I realised when I posted the original post that I had forgotten to check what awards had actually been given. nxjen posted the link which showerd both police officers got the Gearge Medal and I can confirm that Henry James Hicks also got a George Medal.

The story of the night of 27/12/40 continues.


After the first three people received the George Medal a case was put forward for two bus conducters to received recognition for there bravery that night.


These two got commendations.


I have also attached the pages from the Met. Police diary for that night just for general interest. P division is where these events happened.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
