Me too. Not a major fan of our local MP though. Even instinctive Labour supporters like me are critical of his work rate.


Any Facebook users who haven't already climbed aboard the Penge Tourist Board bus might want to do so and attend the Social down the Goldsmiths from 7.30 on Friday night.

In total seriousness I think you're right, and am genuinely concerned that in 5 years I'll feel like Penge is not for the likes of me, just as I have in ED in the last 5 years or so.

I've got a yard in Deptford


Whatever the hype, it's flippin' 'challinging' over there, right next to Bermondsey


But, the food is great. Lots of little vietnamese cafe's (Mama Pho on Lower rd)


However, it is on the Ginger Line at Surrey Quays


I could at a push live there, but like camberwell it's pretty full on


All the other places mentioned are softer around the edges


Bromley is sh*t, and each time I go, I swear it's my last

You may have a point there Jezza.


I met a nice young girl in Peckham last week who's lived all her life in Hackney, currently living in Greenwich coz she can't afford to live in Hackney anymore. I thought, Hackney! I used to play football over there. Was always such a dump. How times change. It's been taken over by affluent yuppies.

Hackney is a bit different, it's an area where cool arty young people congregated BECAUSE it was a shit hole and they could afford it. They then made it cool and arty and then the people with money who think they're cool (but generally are not) flood in and drive prices up. There's some of this going on in Peckham I guess.


But ED and then areas such as Forest Hill, Sydenham, Crystal Palace and now Penge have never been trendy, it's more about young families.

    • Another recommendation for Oddbods. As proof of our satisfaction we've asked them to return for some more jobs, which is sign we were happy with their work
    • Most of the groceries shops in Lordship Lane have a security presence…curious thing is I and another woman recently saw a shop lifter lift and not pay for a couple of packet of steaks, veg and bottle of wine..  Literally walked Pat the tills, one member of staff and security guard despite someone else going in front by a few people and mentioning person in question! I have to say, speechless and admired their bravado - I would not have the guts and knowing my luck, if I accidentally didn’t put something tru the till despite receipt would prob get stopped! Yes, worked with families, homeless and other people who were struggling for food so I do understand why they do it.. sad when you think about it, that in this day and age, all sorts of c people need assistance and help from community in general, food banks, olio etc….
    • Just not keen to have all these  things  in my body… having said  that, thinking about Covid again as need to come to London to two hospitals for poss overnight stays. 
    • And another one, number 6, has just gone passed as well!  I presume that the LTNs are blocking them from a more useful route. Or the surrounding road works.
