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 .......

    • I like empanadas. I don't think Chango is a massive chain - it's got a few stores all in London I believe (stand to be corrected if I've got that wrong). I don't see a problem with them opening on the Lane personally. I really like Chacarero, but that doesn't mean that they should be immune from competition - if they're successful and open a couple more stores, are we then meant to stop supporting them for being a 'chain'?  That opening post does sound a lot like marketing spiel though. Is the OP perhaps connected to the new business I wonder?
    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
