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.

    • Signed, and I will share it elsewhere, thank you for posting this.
    • There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559
    • I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
    • Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
