The Bellenden Big Lunch was a huge success. Estimate about 120 people came by with food and drink, meat to BBQ, music (Sly and Reggie were here too), games for the children, chalk drawing on the road and the shops participated too. It was a great day and we're looking forward to next year.

sounds like southwark council were really helpful which is good news for encouraging others to organise more in the future

some said that ?50 for insurance plus getting a consensus is all it takes to get the council on side

quite a few didnt materialise but the seeds have been sown

Yes the other photo on the BBC website is one I took of everyone on Cornflower Terrace! Well spotted boosboos!


Just to pick up on what Reggie mentioned about Southwark - they were fantastic with us. I sent an email asking about the process for closing our road and someone called me back, told me that I needed 3 things - insurance, a risk assessment and some sort of confirmation of support from the majority of residents - and he did the rest. The road closed barriers were dropped off for us to put up and take down on the day. It couldn't have been easier.

I live in Ulverscroft Road, heard nothing about a lunch beforehand, but was sitting outside my house around 12.30 pm on Sunday when two guys went past in a vehicle bearing what they claimed was the loudest sound system in the universe looking for the Ulverscroft Road Big Lunch ......


Don't think it can have happened, but as I spent the rest of Sunday afternoon in the Palmerston whilst paint was drying on my hall floor thus preventing me entering my house, I wouldn't know :))

      Dungeons and dragons kids group?

      By BreadandJamforFrances · Posted

      Hi, my son is nine and wants to get into playing dungeons and dragons. Does anyone know of a children’s group playing nearby? Neither me or my husband ever played so we’re at a loss as to how to help!

      Pride in place

      A lot of this is down to why the high street came into being in the first place  consumer demand  And now times has changed and consumers behave differently.  And businesses adapt to that.  It’s a bottom up approach as opposed to something imposed upon us.   It’s not to my tastes. But what do people expect to happen.  Jazzer is on to something when he says boycott Amazon - but the reality is even many who boycott Amazon choose other or more ethical alternatives. But still online  going into town for “a shop” just isn’t what people do anymore  Yeah but that’s not a real comparison. And “for ill” glosses over a lot of wrong as well  but we live in 2025 now and any of us oldies who think when we were 20 was the best time ever, a time we should go back to are just pining for our youths  there is no country in the world that can turn back the clock.  So in 2025, where is the closest vision of somewhere you would like.  Because if you look globally you don’t just get capitalism.  You can choose dictatorships or communism too
