Looked into this last night. I'd read the fine print. Carefully.


I've been a member of Hamlets Health Club before and probably will be again sometime soon. It's a nice gym that's good value for money. If you join directly (see HHC Site) then the price is:


Single: ?30/month or ?150 for six months in advance.

Couple: ?50/month or ?250 for six months in advance.

This is for gym (any time) and sauna. The minimum commitment is 6 months.


The offer (through Change 4 Life) is ?21 per month single. No couples membership deal. ?15 up front enrolment fee. Lots of fine print, but not much detail on what your membership entitles you to. The sting in the tail is that you are signing up for a 24 month (!!!) commitment.


More worryingly, this offer is being made through a third party - Ashbourne Management Services Ltd. I googled the name and, frankly, I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. My google query is here.


It's a bit more expensive, but I'd go directly through Hamlets, especially if you are a couple.

Its an Interesting point that you make Loz,


You are correct Hamlets Health Club is a very good training facility and the club rates are very cheap.


Regarding the special offer that Hamlets are doing, yes it is a 2 year membership there is no hiding the fact that it is a 2 year membership for a great rate at ?21 if you join online, or ?20 if you join at the club. Its a very good offer, all part of the Governments Change-4-life campaign.


This membership entitles you to full use of the gym anytime you like with a full induction and a programme if you require one, plus full use of the Sauna also. You can also include the classes such as spinning and the yoga for just an extra ?5 per month.


As regards to Ashbourne management services, they do look after some of our memberships purely because it makes it easier for the staff at Hamlets to concentrate on other things. They are absolutely fine we researched them before we used them and spoek to many other health clubs and have found this to be a massive benefit.

      Anyone living on Croxted Road

      By PeckhamNicola · Posted

      Returning to the question, although still not directly answering I'm afraid as ive not lived on that road: I have previously lived in a house where the railway line was behind the house and over a playing field, and also in a flat blocked from the railway line by at least one more block worth of houses. I would not live that close to a railway line again. In the house the noise with the windows open always disturbed me at night. And you need to bear it mind it is not just the timetables of passenger trains you need to consider, at night time there could be freight trains too. That was my problem in the flat: not noise, I was shielded from that, but the weight of the freight trains passing made the whole building shake enough to wake me up. If you are a sounder sleeper or less sensitive to noise it could be fine. I would suggest checking if freight trains use that route though.

      Injured fox on Crawthew Grove

      By Sue · Posted

      Thanks TWB, that is all really useful. However, if  memory serves, The Fox Project actually directed me to The Fox Angels when I phoned them, and had no facilities in this area for sending anybody out themselves. They seem to be based in Tunbridge Wells. The Greenwich Wildlife Network also just suggests other organisations who may help in certain situations. To the best of my knowledge, however, for situations involving foxes, including injured or ill  foxes, Fox Angels are the only people who have someone available very locally who can come out virtually immediately (I waited maybe half an hour after I phoned them). The person who came had all the necessary equipment to move the fox, was very gentle and caring, and took the fox to a local vet (it sadly died). It's possible that if you phoned a local vet they would help, if you could get the fox there. The RSPCA has guidelines on what to do if you find an  animal in need,  however although they have recently had a campaign on this (and sent me a badge and a copy of the guidelines on a pocket sized card) I can't find them online. I attach a photo. Don't know if the QR code would work from a photo.

      Austin's furniture store, Peckham

      By SueJM · Posted

      My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road).
