Occasional lurker here, from the Great White North. It's been a very long time since I lived in ED (although I insist on at least a day there when I'm in the UK). We also went from Ed to Kent (not far from Claire C actually) and still spend a week in Tenterden any chance I get, but Canada is once again home.


I don't think I'll ever stop checking in on this forum, although the cast of characters gets less and less familiar there is still a thread of the life I had there. It's a funny thing to leave a place with a bit of your heart still there.....


I still miss Peckham Rye park every single day.

I sadly miss lots of things that at the time I didn't really appreciate. Moving away has really made me realise how lucky I was. I now have the sea nearby, a more relaxed way of life, a less competitive outlook - but if I could afford it I'd move back in a flash.

      GALA 2025

      I think we're probably closest - about 50m from one of the tents - and to be honest it's not that bad. The bass is making the windows vibrate but it's not 'noisy' I've always said the loud music is the least of the issues to me. It's the construction for two weeks before / one week after, the imposing steel wall, the trodden in non-decomposing litter (fag butts, cable ties, vapes, bottle tops, ring pulls) which will cover the entire site forever, the compaction & damage to the grass which takes months to recover, the impact on birds, bats & wildlife of 24/7 lights, the anti social behaviour of so many attendees (p***ing on the streets and in the bushes) and this year the blatant extending of the site footprint, despite previously giving the reason they can't move it is because it's been designed for that location. And hopefully everyone can see this for what it really is - an attempt to win over the local community and set a precedent for four festival days, so that they have a stronger argument when they put in an application for six days again next year.  Southwark state that the money from Gala goes directly to supporting their Events dept, who support "up to 100 free events every year". So what are these free events, and why do we need another?

      We are on Friern Road and can not  hear Gala tonight, each year it depends on direction of wind, but we can hear Kneecap who are playing in Brockwell tonight....
