I think it works fairly well to avoid the bad stretch of Lyndhurst way by turning up into Lyndhurst Grove and then take a right onto Vestry road to either rejoin peckham road of cut through to Southampton road. It is basically up and down a hill though - but safer turning and a road with even surface which just about makes up for the extra effort needed...

If heading towards Camberwell, cut up through Warwick Gdns rather than Lyndhurst Way. It's nice to see the changing seasons and greenery first thing.


And you can keep to the back streets until Camberwell Grove taking you down to the Green and avoiding major traffic.

Yes it is like a tramline. Really noticed it today while going down to Peckham rd. The other way to avoid Lyndhurst way is to break the law and cycle down the one way sections of Bellenden rd., which I am loathe to do, despite the excellent road surface.

Looks like they have started doing some re-surfacing on St Norbert Rd, Yippee!

hopefully they will do the entire length of it down to Brockley station.

I spotted heavy machinery and 'no parking' cones on Lyndhurst Way today. Could it be the March unused budget is going to be applied there? Unfortunately only half the road seemed to be designated. Why do they always leave unresurfaced bits when they improve a road eg Southampton Way, Peckham Rye.

Why do they open up a road, fill it in and days later another contractor digs it all up again to do something else.


Piss up in a brewery comes to mind.

Well, I was trying not to be too sceptical, was hoping they'd resurface the whole of Lyndhurst way and were just doing it in bits, but I wrote to the council and got the following response:


"Thank you for your enquiry regarding Lyndhurst way carriageway resurfacing road works. However Lyndhurst way will be resurfaced in two sections namely: from its junction with Chadwick Road to Holy grove Road and Lyndhurst way junction with Lyndhurst Grove to Lyndhurst way junction with High shore Road."


I've asked if there are any plans to resurface the whole thing. It's better than it was now, but still really bad at the top by the school.

    • Using the smart CCTV cameras is your best strategy - particularly if they have adequate infra-red capability. Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4
    • Not in Ed, but I was in NE England over the weekend and saw an otter in the wild! Never seen one before, it was quite lovely.
    • Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.
