I am going to try the walk from LB to Holborn via the South Bank, Wobbly Bridge and St Pauls. If that fails then the walk from Waterloo isnt too bad.


Is there a train from LB to Blackfriars or City Thameslink?


Still, when the cross river tram is built I will be able to get a tram from Peckham to Holborn in one go! Ho Ho.

Whereabouts in Holborn Mike? I used to work in New Fetter Lane many moons ago and would get the train to Holborn Viaduct (now sadly no more), after that closed it was a pleasant stroll from Blackfriars, along Farringdon Road, up Fleet Street, cut through the alley past the Cheshire Cheese and Doctor Johnson's house, then past The Cartoonist, then up around the bend and Bob's yet uncle. Oh Happy days! I'm in Canary Wharf now, which is completely souless and vile. Full of suits, shoppers and security guards.

I'd get the bus up Dog Kennel Hill if I were you, then a train from Denmark Hill and if you can't be doing with Peckham Rye do as Brendan suggested.

The first direct train doesn't start running until 9:11 and takes 10 mins. They are then every 15 mins on the quarter hour through the day. Usefully, in the rush hour, there is no such service, and you would have to go up to St Pancras before doubling back.

    • I hope witnesses are phoning 999 to report a crime in progress. 
    • Under Section 3 of Criminal Law Act 1967 ANY PERSON may use such force as necessary in the prevention of crime or assisting in the arrest of offenders or suspected offenders. Key message is the force used must be proportionate.  Sadly many of these offenders carry knives (such as the two who stabbed people in Bishopsgate when bystanders intervened. The offenders were subsequently tracked down but it might have been a murder enquiry but for a few millimetres.) Therefore robust action should only be taken if you are confident. As per the previous post, your actions will be scrutinised but could be completely lawful.
    • And at about 8 I saw a phone being snatched on Grove Vale-as well as horrible for the victim it was incredibly dangerous.  Bike rider rode along pavement at high speed and then continued on to cut into road in equally dangerous manner
    • Leon is a fantastic electrician. He's recently done a couple of jobs for us during a renovation. He's done them brilliantly. The standard of the work is exceptional - we've had some other electricians in who haven't done anywhere near as great a job. Also, he's brilliant at communicating about the job at hand in a clear and concise way. Would highly recommend!
