Whilst I agree on Rye Lane itself you do struggle to find the trendy stuff (at the moment at least), on most of the side roads, leading onto it there is an abundant nightlife and cafe culture which is growing by the week. A walk around the top end of Peckham Rye on the junction with Rye Lane currently has Blue Tit (trendy East London hairdressing import), Pedlar (upmarket eatery and cocktail bar recently opened) a new independent organic food store with great window displays and I noticed today a new barbecue and craft beer restaurant/bar about to open in the row of shops next to the recently opened smartly dressed estate agent. It's changing and at a rapid pace.

So nowhere's safe. Great.

I just wish they'd give them a lick of colour. I like the buildings quite a lot, but all that grey is a bit miserable.

It's the grey I like - and the way it weathers and how it looks when different parts are wet and drying - a lick of paint would ruin it.

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By fishboy · Posted

      A quick update - my InPost parcels are being accepted sporadically at Barry's, but only one at a time and every few days, after many refusals - one was refused SEVEN times over about ten days - and several phone calls. As a comparison, I had a message from Yodel that a parcel that was going to Barry's is being delivered to another nearby store, which is interesting...

      GALA 2026

      By fishboy · Posted

      The "Community Benefits" are documented on P12-16 of the Consultation Document. Basically unsubstantiated estimates that it benefits local businesses, claims that it provides "opportunities" for local food traders, businesses & people (the term "opportunities" being meaningless - I have opportunities to win the lottery) without any details, facts or figures, and discounted tickets for local residents (which unsurprisingly seldom sell out). The only direct financial benefit to the Park is a £1000 "Biodiversity Fund" and an undisclosed amount for an "Environmental Impact Fee" - looking at how it was spent this year (flower beds in the playground & Sexby garden) I suspect it would be a similarly small figure. The actual site hire fee - claimed as "commercially sensitive" and therefore undisclosed - is spent on: • Funding the council’s free events programme and Cultural Celebrations Fund • Subsidised fees for community events in the borough • Off-setting the running costs of the Events service, which supports the delivery of the free community events programme  Again, no details given, just vague concepts - can anyone name any of these free & subsidised community events? Or what the "Cultural Celebrations Fund" is or does? It doesn't really sound like any of it is worth  the disturbance, restrictions, noise, litter, environmental damage and negative impact on wildlife in our Park.

      We also recommend Aaron.  Very reliable, reasonably priced and did a fantastic job on our hallway and bedroom ceiling.  A pleasure to work with and left the house very tidy at the end of the job.  Thank you
