There was water bubbling up in the middle of the road just past Francesca Cabrini this morning and coming back tonight there was a road closed sign outside Honor Oak Station and I think the diversion sent people up Devonshire Road but I turned round and went via the South Circular from Brockley since it was backed up.

Traffic Incidents

Devonshire Road Honor Oak Park, both ways at B238 Honor Oak Park

London - Burst water main and flooding on Devonshire Road in both directions in Honor Oak Park at the B238 Honor Oak Park junction.http://www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews/london/roads/unplanned

Just for information for anyone planning to drive over Honor Oak Park over the next few days, the notice at the top of the hill had been amended this morning to say that the works will be continuing 'until further notice'.


The road was still closed to traffic from the top of the hill down to Devonshire Road (which was again stationary as some vehicles tried to turn left into Devonshire Road, blocking those trying to turn out and causing gridlock).

Road is still closed, but didn't seem as much of a mess around 10am this morning as I walked to station. Thankfully the buses are going via Stanstead Road (TFL shows P12 going up via FH station, up London Road and turning right down Honor Oak Road).


Isn't this the kind of job where they should have overnight crews working? Or does that not exist?

I have said it many times on here about all the road dig ups of one sort or another in our area over the years


I travel this route going out about 7.20 + coming back at 5.30 up over one hill and right down forest hill rd- right through to the one way system at the nags head and the one thing they have all got in common is at the times i pass all

the works is no one is never there working. I thought when these particular roads were a bus route, which all these ones have been, they would work day/night +w/ends to get it open asap? youve got to feel sorry for the people living in and around Devonshire Rd, Lets hope the the contractors get there finger out?

Long shot but did anyone see my car (bright red saloon) being hit when parked on Devonshire road near Boveney junction between Thursday 5.30pm and Friday morning? 3 panels and a wing mirror damaged so they would have known they did it. No note left. Any info would be lovely!

My husband actually does ride with her sometimes which is great but we have a newborn as well so sadly I can't take them both on a bike. Journey this morning was brilliant, however I went back around 10.30 and noticed the road was closed again but I didn't see a sign, anyone know if its closed still or the reason why?

    • A couple of updates to this terrible event:   1) In 2021, two cousins (one from Penge and one from Streatham) were convicted of murder and sentenced to a minimum of 23 years in prison. The Southwark News has a summary of the awful day. https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/dulwich/donnell-rhule-dulwich-knife-murderer-cousins-sentenced-to-life-for-killing-18-year-old/    2) Last week, a female prison officer from Forest Hill was sentenced to eight months in prison for pursuing a relationship with one of the two murderers while at HMP Brixton. https://metro.co.uk/2025/12/15/probation-officer-admits-relationship-prisoner-hmp-belmarsh-25501445/ https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/38203627/probation-officer-jailed-illicit-relationship-murderer-secure-prison/
    • The Commons Public Accounts Committee questioned both the CEO and MD of Capita yesterday, at their last meeting before the recess:  https://committees.parliament.uk/event/25889/formal-meeting-oral-evidence-session/.  In October they'd already expressed concern that Capita might not  be able to efficiently retake over responsibility for the administration within the timescale. Given the joint statement recently issued by Capita and the Cabinet Office I'm not sure that contacting an MP is going to add much, other than venting what I think most of us can probably appreciate of what those affected are likely  to be thinking and feeling; unless perhaps, and I hope it's not needed, to report on deficiencies in the immediate rescue actions.
    • She's responded, but I'm sure I read something in the Guardian consumer advice column. Might be some pointers if you're stuck
    • Two for Ratcliffe, the obvious one:   And one simply because it has the word  "You are nothing but blind fascists" in it.  Oh and a good song too.   Haven't listened to this for years.  Bloody good!
