The metal benches were removed (not stolen!) as they were quite worn and didn't look great. There are no plans to replace these with wooden ones. The cafe has purchased more v heavy duty picnic benches that are on the grassed bit at the side of the cafe.

The idea really is to try and contain the bulk of the cafe users in the cafe and at the area to the side and not on the common to the front. This also helps with the litter.

Of course people will buy coffee/ice cream etc and go onto the common or into the park, but they are unlikely to be carting full meals around with them!

Thanks for that ,I can see the logic in that.I do occasionally just buy a coffee and bring my own lunch so I assume it will be permissable to sit at these tables then as there is nowhere esle to sit except further along which is usually shaded( I like to sit in the sun ! )

Admin, is this SE22 or did you miss lounging it?


I'm sure you didn't realise what was unfolding when you lounged the "fire at North Peckham Estate" thread, perhaps

you could move it back before EDFers start monitoring your monitoring of the general ED issues/gossip.........


A polite suggestion.

But why it was an ED issue so why suggest it should be lounged? North Peckham is a different issue but as the original poster said they were warning people who travelled that way to avoid it .Obviously once the situation unfolded .....



Sorry I am of course referring to the Fire in North Peckham thread !

?????? I'm not suggesting it remain in lounged, but t/f back to ED issues, would

it have been moved if Admin were aware of tragedy that was happening.


This is not me being arsey, as I said a polite suggestion. There are probably a lot of threads that should

be lounged, it seems to be causing unrest on the forum...them n us!

Who will the Admin side with? Forget that and do what's right, it's local enough! Let's not forget what it's really

about and on that note I'll comment no more on the matter.


Original thread"fire at North Peckham Estate"

EXCUSE ME ! but its about 45% SE22 and 55% SE15 and the benches in front of the cafe is SE15 because the cafe is SE15.....


and the Nightstalker does not differentiate so close your windows.


Oh and the run down knackered and flooding childrens 1 o'clock club is SE15.


Clunk ...penny dropping......surely not....surely the council are not that ...oh my god they are ?

    • "Mysterious owners" 😆  If only there was a powerful search engine at our fingertips to find out such deep secrets.        
    • It's the "due to commercial reasons" line again that is vexing. Last year it seemed, although there was a similar level of objection, that the reasons were commercial - Gala didn't appear entirely prepared to run 3 more events, or more likely didn't have sufficient interest from other promoters / organisers who could 'sub-let' the site as with Brockwell Park (I believe?). This year they appeared more organised, had another year to plan & prepare, to the extent they actually had names for two of the three new events which indicated to me that they had third party promoters / organisers in place.  So yes, it does make you wonder whether the repeated level of objection, combined with the impending elections, led to the council 'advising' that maybe they shelve it again? I'm afraid I can't see the whole extension application just being a ruse to guarantee permission for the 'regular' event. Gala are a commercial venture with ambition - every festival's business plan is to expand, expand, expand, year on year on year. Gala won't give up until they have taken over the whole park for a Summer of Raves, and the mysterious owners are on their yachts counting their ££££
    • Thanks for that. Maybe forthcoming elections have stymied the 7 day request? If Labour get back in, do we think GALA will try with greater success in 2027?
    • Better late than never, same obscure reason as previously for not going ahead with the extended plan... "Due to commercial reasons, the event organisers have withdrawn their application to hold a 7- day event over two weekends. The application has been revised to request the use of Peckham Rye Park to hold a 4-day event over one bank holiday weekend with the following schedule: • Onsite: Monday 11 May 2026 • GALA: Friday 22 – Sunday 24 May • On the Rye Festival: BH Monday 25 May • Off-site Sunday 31 May 2026 This is the same event programme that was delivered in 2025."  GALA 2026 consultation findings report 1519.pdf
