As far as I know, there isn't one and probably shouldn't be one. The only suitable place is Palm Tree Roundabout, and that's already occupied.


Moreover, judging by previous threads, if the council dared spend taxpayers' money on displaying the severed head of an innocent tree purely for the entertainment of the public we'd never hear the end of it.

Hmmm... nice idea! Shame we don't have a town square or similar. I know some churches have a tree outside, but can't recall which...

Sadly, an outdoor tree might be vulnerable to vandalism, though the roundabout would be good as it's in full view... but yes, the palm-tree probably rules it out...

Thank you Captain Main-Wairing.

Of course, that's awfully good of you Sergeant Wilson, most awfully so...

Oh what a great idea-lets waste more tax payers money on complete unneeded Xmas tosh to add to the waste on Xmas lights etc. With all the job losses, redundancies, cut backs in social services, and caring, and the bedroom tax etc what a selfish idea. I suggest you have a whip round if you want it that bad and stop taking limited resource away from others for your 5 mins of fun.

I have been made redundent, confirmed disabled, had to downsize flatwise, and have paid into the system for 30 years so I really want fairy lights all over Southwark and would love to thank the council for the wonderful firework display that moved me to tears x so dont anyone please what's the term *p.ss* on my fire and Forest Hill Tree has been lovely every year I have lived here and I haven't noticed (read noticed) any damage x

Good point.


I agree with the overall sentiments on Christmas being overhyped and early and tedious - but if it improves consumer morale and drives traffic to local, independent businesses then surely a tree + the leccy is a reasonable investment?


Surely that is more important than some grumbles.

I'm sure the main local Christmas tree sellers would donate a tree for some publicity. it doesnt have to cost taxpayers and would provide joy to many. It even gives the miserable forumites something to moan about with limited dog/children/bike/car/vegetable threads at the moment, so they too will be secretly happy even if too negative to acknowledge it.

      Great news! Peckham Rye station to reclaim its public square by next year!

      By jazzer · Posted

      Anything that improves the front of the station has to be a good thing. Opening up the square in front is a superb idea, it will show the beauty of the architecture of the station, just as they did at Kings Cross when they ripped out the monstrosity of the 1960's frontage and now the station gleams. People probably go there to see the beauty of it. Now wouldn't it be good if once opened up and cleaned up, people visited to see how wonderful it then looks. I guess there is a generally lack of trust that the station square will open by the end of next year, HOWEVER, when the current frontage is removed and the square is opened up as it originally was it will look grand.

      Up the reform

      By jazzer · Posted

      i) You must think Liebour can do no wrong, can lie through their teeth and yet you appear to believe every word Starmer and his stooges utter. ii) More assumptions made by you, well guess what you're utterly W R O N G, seems like that's your first trip, just as I predicted.  iii) and you won't be blaming me old man. Shockingly, I actually have to agree with some of the points you've raised.  Reform are the relics of BNP and UKIP, both detestable so add them together and you get an even worse result which is Reform that the UK can do without.

      Up the reform

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      Farage has done nothing but divide and diminish this country, all in the name of his ego and his bank balance. Brexit has made us poorer and has damaged our influence in the world. He supported Trump who is directly threatening our interests and he supported Liz Truss' disastrous budget. He has done his best to ensure our country's decline and now people too proud to admit their mistakes and the deleterious impact of UKIP / The Brexit party / Reform Ltd are again voting for him to finish the job / nail down the coffin lid. Yes, he is a plastic patriot.

      You clearly don’t know Peckham Rye station there are lifts but they’re not available to the public. Actually, they were  briefly made available when the art exhibition was on.  Priorites again.
