I have to be at the V&A for 9.45 tomorrow morning.


Since I retired that's like the crack of dawn to me!


Is it best to get train to Victoria from Denmark Hill then district line and if so what time should I get train?


Going to Alexander McQueen exhibition hooray! :)


ETA: wondering if I should allow extra time for rush hour etc??

That's probably quickest route, but if it were me - and this is just because I hate rush hour trains and tubes - I'd allow a bit longer and take 345 bus from Cambeerwell to South Ken.


Why? Get a seat and no changing.


But. It does take at least an hour so I'd check TFL journey planner for how long it's currently taking at that time of day.


Supposed to be an amazing show, I was due to yo as part of a corporate party thing hut it was night that Michelle Obama decided to go so we all had to wait outside and then I ran out of time. Boo.

Please God DO NOT go the bus route unless the trains are completely screwed up. Speaking from experience its very hit and miss (I do Denmark Hill or Peckham Rye to South Ken for work).


Your hour could be an hour and a half and its not exactly a direct route! Train quick and only two stops on the tube from Victoria so a sweaty 5 mins only to put up with....

Yeh thanks hpsaucey, I just looked up the bus timetable and had reluctantly decided it had to be the trains .......

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
