matthew123 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 It's opposite Peckham Park - so good views. But perhaps 30 minutes walk to nearest train station.

Marmora Man Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Good spot - I live 100 yards from Colyton on Marmora. It can be a bit of a rat run early am and mid pm. Park is great. It's 20 mins max to the station Honor Oak station (12 mins to London Bridge). The Forest Hill parade is improving - Si Mangia a decent little Italian, Omrith a good Indian. Herne pub is fine with reasonable food. Easy walk / cycle ride to LL for the shops and cool bars.

jctg Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 It has the world's most useless speed bumps. Anyone have any idea why they're so flat? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6788-colyton-road-opinions/#findComment-217589 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo1964 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I live in Ryedale just on the other side of Forest Hill Road. I like the area for all the reasons MM says. Co Op is also very handy.. it now does fresh bread and has a very good wine selection.

PeckhamRose Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 It has 'flat' bumps because the Morrison lorries from the depot requested them to be deflated apparently, till their work is done, then they'll be reflated and the traffic lights taken away.......... and there's that flyin' pig again!I live round the corner from Colyton on Peckham Rye SE15 side. It is a FABULOUS place to live and the park is spectacularly achingly beautiful and is actually my front garden, but I'll let you wonder round it if you don't nick the plants!

jaybee82 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Hahaha he certainly does! I thought they were a bit more 'Tim Nice-But-Dim' myself.And those speed humps are pathetic.

stereforth Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Re speed humps in Colyton Road: as I was told, they were reduced to prevent vibrations in the local houses.

PeckhamRose Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Do none of you read my posts?Indeed the vibration to local houses will reduce if the bumps are not there when the lorries from the waterworks lorries thunders by.

tibby Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 there is a house for sale on the road at 625k Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6788-colyton-road-opinions/#findComment-217957 Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew123 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Wasn't there recently a house up for sale on that road for ?2 million? Highest recorded sale price on Colyton Road was in 2007 for just under ?1m. There are a variety of house types on that road so it's difficult tibby, to judge whether 625k is a bargain.

Amysdad Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 The coop bread is not fresh - is part baked off-site and finished off in store in some ovens out back. Mind you they could probably cook them on the shelf it's so hot inside. Colyton Rd is great, even better when the lorries are gone.

jimbo1964 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Yes did mean 2050 and yes I'm sure they haven't got a fully functioning bakery in the coop, but it's still nicely finished off.
