Hi there


I'm looking at moving to Nunhead, alongside the train station, but I wanted to know how people who live nearby feel about the noise. Seems like passenger trains aren't too much bother (even the announcements) but what about freight trains? This list worries me: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced/NHD/2014/03/20/0321?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt


A whole list of freight trains every hour ...


Any advice gratefully-received!


Thanks

I lived directly next to railway tracks for 5 years


I definitely noticed the noise initially, and with kids on the way, was worried about that aspect as well


But the noise melted into the background for me, and the kids never noticed


On some summer's days, in the garden, a passing train could be a pain


But overall I was fine with it and it had no hand in my decision to move


But as the plane thread shows, your mileage may vary

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet.

      i used to go there in the late 80's and '90s (?) the food was served cafeteria style and there was limited choice, but what there was alays tasted amazing!  The garden was an absolute paradise, you could sit in it to lunch in the summer!  i've tried to locate its site but Walworth Road has changed so much since then - does anyone remember the house number?

      This is very true. For some people, not even just the elderly, their pet/s may be their most important companion.

      Be thankful for the NHS. This is the price to treat a dog or cat. Imagine what it might be to treat a human being with cancer
