Hi sorry for late response forgot to click on "send replies" button.


Help-Ma-Boab: I walked down past Kings hospital, left on to Camberwell New Road and then strainght, past Oval, Vauxhall, across Vauxhall Bridge. I double-checked timings on the Map My Run app on my phone and saw that I started it from Denmark Hill station so add more time for Peckham Rye. Still worth it!


Jeremy: see above


Jessie: see above and I walked fast, an average pace of 7.1 kph


Someone I know lives on Ondine and works in Pimlico and walks there and back every day. She says it takes her 45 mins each way. Her points were that it was much more pleasant then overcrowded public transportation; it is healthy exercise; it is free; and you know exactly how long it will take unlike breaking down buses/trains/cars/burst pipes etc. Must say that after trying it I was pleasantly surprised and would do it again except when it is raining!

Thanks Dun. I reckonI could cut through to Camberwell a more direct way from Peckham Rye. Might give it a go when mornings get lighter.

Take a left at Coldharbour Lane, and then a right. The side streets will take you, via Myatts Park and the ambulance station in Foxley Road, virtually to the Oval without going near a main Road. It will also cut 15 minutes from your walking journey and is a far more interesting walk!

    • I would also like to recommend Andy for plumbing. I had a leak under my kitchen tap and he was able to visit and resolve the issue in the same day. Prompt and efficient service and very professional. 
    • It's about ensuring it's the medical facilities you are accessing, hence the sign-in actually in Tessa Jowell. And I think there are visual as well as camera checks, after all a number of people drive in and out of the car park to drop patients off. Clearly they are not parked up, so it's not relevant if they are fleetingly on camera. It's only those actually parked who need to identify themselves as patients. 
    • Thanks CPR Dave for the link to Southwark's leaf cleaning schedule. Good to see that.   I think that what may have happened was the leaves weren't cleared during the scheduled week for Whateley Road, which was w/c 17 November.  Then they were cleared a couple of weeks ago instead. We have been here through all of autumn,  and there has been a steady build-up of leaves on this stretch since October.  At one point there was a deep layer to wade through. The photos I posted were from 17 December, and as you can see,  the leaves had been trampled and compressed into the ground. It looked a lot worse at times.   Lots of school kids from the primary school walk up and down this pavement.   In case this happens next year,  I have found a contact page about streets https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/contact-us-about-transport-and-roads - so I could ask them what their plans are.  
    • Amrutha is excellent, unless you are died in the wool meat and two veg most will find the food to their taste and it certainly isn't a place that expects you to be a sandal wearing vegan. Recommend Matoon too, there are many great places in SE23, SE4 and SE26 if you get chance to get on a bus. Don't have takeaways very often and would only do this when they employ their own delivery people due to all the issues with the slave labour that is Deliveroo and the like (and numerous other issues).  Yes it is a different thread but I can't stop myself reminding people.
