It wouldn't affect anyone on here I am sure, but I do think it's a sad sign of the times that the last two cash offices in Southwark are closed. Many people at the bottom of the ladder can't get bank accounts, or choose not to, and could pay their rents and so on in folding green. Also, some people choose only ever to use cash. I do, certainly. I wonder if they shouldn't offer us the chance to use Paypal!

Can they not do it through the post office? I thought there used to be little rent payment cards that you could use there & pay cash.


If that option isn't available, it should be.


I actually prefer the convenience of doing everything on-line but I know it's not easy for everyone.

Yes, I know Paypal means you have to have a bank account. That wasn't my point. Some people can not have bank accounts for various reasons. Cash should always be an option. even if it means they take you to court and you hand over buckets of cash there and then saying it was the first opportunity you have had since they would not accept cash!
I have to use cash offices in my work. We frequently have to get additional fob keys for Southwark Housing Properties for our clients - have to pay at the Walworth Road cash Office, get receipt before taking to HO to get fob. On the Kingswood Estate, you either have to go to the Walworth Road office first or purchase a Postal Order at the Kingswood PO which costs another couple of pounds.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
