Denmark Hill will be closed for crane work for the new King's College Hospital helipad from 8pm Fri 13 February to 5am Monday 16 February.

The new helipad should really help speed up patients treatment.


Please see attached leaflet.


Pavement access will still stay open - so cyclists should be fine as well.


The diversion are very long. Avoid the area. Bus journeys will be much longer - even buses such as no.12 are likely to take longer with diverted traffic.

That did make me chuckle too... although I'm assuming he means that we can dismount and walk along the pavement.


Really pleased to hear that Kings are getting a helipad... now we just need to get that second air ambulance to fully utilise it.

It is on TFL but only if you go to status page, amend drop down to bus, change date and put in an affected bus number. It doesn't seem to take account of it if you try to plan a journey - it's still telling me to get on a bus at Denmark Hill on Saturday morning even though stop will be closed.


It says buses not serving stops between Camberwell Church St and East Dulwich Road.


It does also list it as being 2000 Fri 13th to 0500 Mon 23rd (nightly - weekend only) but assuming the later end date is only if weather prevents work this weekend.

There is a sleeve on the bus stop sign at Denmark Hill explaining that the stop is shut on certain days, and to read the literature attached to the post.


Didn't read the detail, mind, as was about to hop on a bus, but the fact that it'll be shut seems to imply that the diversion will cut out Champion Hill entirely.

Hi MarkE,

I'm pretyy sure Cahampion Hill, Dog Kennel Hill will be cut out from bus routes and buses diverted via Peckham.

The otherside would see Denmark Hill cut out and buses diverted via Brixton.


It has the potential for a mega traffic nightmare.


At least all the local timetabled trains appear to be planned to run Sat & Sun.

This weekend is just for the erection of a tower crane that will facilitate the construction of the helipad.


Doubtless at some stage in the future, once the construction is complete, there'll be a further road closure in order that the tower crane can be dismantled.

youre right Ladygooner I misread the National timetable thingy. How stupid to not coordiante closing such a major road with when train routes are closed.


I'll ask council officials why they've allowed this to happen and what they plan to do to stop future occurences.


Many thanks for putting me right.

Great news that King's will get a helipad but I'll miss the helicopter landing in Ruskin Park. My son loved it (me too I'll admit). The regular pilot had nice skills and if he was leaving without a patient he'd often do some neat moves during take off; even if they appeared unnecessary to the untrained eye.


I hope the choppers still approach the helipad from the park - think of the kids, eh?


Er.. and shocking business about the disruption etc etc

Not sure if that is a nice bit of sarcasm there (hoping!) - if not, oh come now, one weekend of PLANNED disruption on something that is essential. Such closures for cranes happen all the time in other areas blocking off roads, putting buses on diversion etc. Inconvenient - yes. End of the world - no.

I'm driving to Ladbroke grove tomorrow morning, any words of advice about best route to take? How bad has the traffic been today? Was thinking of just taking camberwell grove and then over the green to camberwell new road. Is this likely to be heavily congested?

    • With slightly less respect  I have  watched the 1 hour video - he said what he said and he did what he did. And his faux-wink wink “no violence people” fools no one but fools. Are you a fool?    the bbc told the truth - and it’s a straight up lie to say otherwise. Did they edit and cut to the chase to make a point? Absolutely  and correctly  he was not edited to say things he didn’t say  I cannot believe you watched the entire video and are trying to say the bbc edit somehow misrepresented what he said and Back in the real world - did the nutters who showed up at the white house materialise because of a bbc edit ffs - have some self respect and recognise what’s going on 
    • Friends and family in the 'States always say how wonderful it is to be in Britain and see our news coverage.  It's all partisan out there. The BBC manages to simultaneously p off the left and the right so must be doing something right.
    • From the BBC: "The conclusion of that deliberation is that we accept that the way the speech was edited did give the impression of a direct call for violent action. The BBC would like to apologise for that error of judgement." What is wrong is editing someone to make him say something they didn't.  With respect Sephiroth, this is something I know a bit about and I have encountered, over the last decade, people in programming editing contributors to make them say things they didn't, the end point being to hang them out to dry. It's happening more and more and it's my job to make sure that people on TV are not mis-represented, but shown in their true light so that viewers can make up their own minds. You have no idea what goes on behind the scenes and how hard some us fight to keep things impartial.  It's also worth mentioning that I have personally lost work because of Trump suing US networks, and that's one of the lesser reasons why I'd like to see him gone.  But broadcasters have a moral obligation to tell the truth and that's the hill that most decent professionals in the industry are willing to die on. Otherwise, how can the viewing public trust anything that's beamed into their living rooms? 
    • Amazing work from Leon, doing out electrical survey and replacing our consumer board. Great communications, tidy work, reliable friendly and reasonably priced. A pleasure to have around and highly recommended.
