A saxophone player has recently started appearing at the traffic lights outside Co-op on Lordship Lane on a Saturday afternoon and on a Tuesday afternoon. Does anyone else find this creates a noise disturbance? I live in a flat on Lordship Lane and work from home, and have found this noise disturbance most unwelcome.

I was really pleased to see that guy honking his sax a week or so ago at that spot.

What with planes and traffic noises isn't this a welcome relief ?

It'd be a shame for him to be moved-on IMO when he's bringing some humanity to an otherwise bland setting.

It's a High St. innit.

I'm guessing for most people out shopping and/or passing by it's a harmless (and temporary) little distraction that might raise a smile but to anyone who lives within earshot it's a non-stop, permanent (for as long as he's there), droning, pain in the arse.


Maybe do 30min then nick off and annoy someone else?

Not unless he's psychic, he's been there on a Saturday for a few weeks now :)


ETA: In case of doubt, I mean the saxophone player, not Bobby Keys, obv.

Maxxi basically nails it. To wonder down the street and hear someone playing music is lovely, you can walk on by, or stop and listen for a minute.


To live above it though means that you're given no choice in the matter.


I agree with Maxxi, find a few spots, and do a "set" in each, but don't stay in the one place for a couple of hours as that seems a bit much.


People basically forget that people live above shops.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
