Anyone else feel a bit disappointed? The nearest option for us is a bus from Oval. Shame it's not the Northern via Bank that they chose to include as there are loads more buses from Elephant.

I can see me using the Jubilee to Southwark and then hopping on the N63 - I do that to pick up the 63 at times already as it stops much closer to my house than the 185/176/40.


Not that I go out late enough in central London to need a nightbus that often anyway.

Bar one section of the route between Forest Hill and the Jenner Health Centre on Stanstead Road, the 185 is covered by other night routes.

Totally agree. If I'm out late in central London, the Victoria Line plus the 37 is a breeze to ED. At night, it takes about 15 mins from Brixton Ritzy to ED.

I think it's really good that we have night buses at all :)


Yes it's a bit annoying if you miss one, but I once lived somewhere which had one bus a week (not in London, obv!)

Except that unless you have a Travelcard or have reached your cap for the day, you then end up paying for up to 3 fares to switch between night buses. I wish London could do as other major cities do and link up bus/train travel a little more. In other cities, you pay a train/tube fare and then get free bus travel for another hour or so to complete your journey. Or you buy a bus fare and can transfer to another bus within the same period. I realise it would have been tricky to do this in the past but with Oyster/contactless cards, it surely wouldn't be that hard to take the equivalent of your bus fare off a tube fare if you'd used it within the last x minutes or ignore a bus touch-in if you were switching route.

In the same way that the Tube has ruined places like Clapham and Brixton? Or the same way that the Overground has ruined places like Shoreditch and Hoxton?


I'm sure that the ED people who have had to cope with the major London Bridge, Thameslink and Elephant & Castle problems this year would love to have ED served by the Tube.


In the words of a typical East Enders character, I don't believe I'm hearing this!

I would love the Overground to run through the night, but can't see it ever happening due to noise.


Although the twisted side of me loves the idea of the guy who gets so wound up by flight noise suddently finding the overground running along the back of his garden all night ;-)

    • Get on those waiting lists asap if you haven't already. I waited till after the birth and it was very challenging getting a place once our daughter turned 1.  She ended up at LEYF Camberwell (we had to accept 2 days to start and gradually got to ramp up 5 days). She absolutely loved it there after an initial shaky start but her key worker and team worked really hard to settle her in. They spent a lot of time giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. Great outdoor space and really caring, enthusiastic staff with low turnover. Would highly recommend. 
    • We are expecting a baby in a few months, and have heard about the epic waiting lists for nurseries in the area... We have been to look around, and are considering, LEYF Camberwell, N Family Club Camberwell and Purple Jay Herne Hill. Would love to hear any feedback from experienced parents!
    • Most of the shops in LL have too small a footprint. That's why we have so few chains. That won't change quickly. 
    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉
