Do you need to do anything Lewishamman?


If litter of condoms is a problem stick a note through the door it otherwise, is it really a problem?


I have good reason to believe that many years ago the woman living upstairs at the time was a working girl - and the coming and going was sometimes eyebrow-raising. But she was a good neighbour and a lovely person. It didn't impinge on my life really

I am rather frail having had several heart attacks and of course I am afraid. I work from home and it is very stressful to me. You know what's sai about these Russian gangs mafia type's and the men in the cars are all Russian, from what I can see they come at the end of each day at about midnight. I see everything from my window as I have my office upstair's.

It may solund trivial to some of you but I am very worried as the whole area seem's to be heading down hill.

There is a serious issue here.


These people exploit young girls from their own country and the Baltic states.


My earnest suggestion would be to go to the police station to make a report.


Unfortunately, the police have a great reputation for being less than subtle and the last thing you need is a patrol car turning up to take your statement and then proceeding directly to the other address.



Seems a weird accusation helena - given the number of replies to lewishham man I havn't seen many attacks. My initial response was to suggest not worrying too much - brothels in South London go back far longer than any of us


But if the suspected brothel is dealing in enforced prostitution and trafficking of women then yes, complaints should be made to the police. Can't it be done anonymously? If it is happening regularly, keep a log of times and descriptions and pass it on accordingly

Thank you Helen. Us seniors do get the sharp end of things. I was young once as well and all these people on here if they are lucky will reach 79 like I have.

Don't feel too upset - I know you are new and feel a bit put upon, and it sounds like there is a lot going on where you are but declan was just being cautious - it's not your fault but several new posters seem to make mischief and he maybe came down on the harsh side. But he's a good egg


You will get plenty of support here so stick with it.

My apologies for suspecting you were not who you appeared to be in your posts. It happens sometimes here and I got it wrong this time. Apologies again and I hope I'm lucky enough to reach 79 years young.

Sean, I didn't mean you. Just in general I've noticed recently that when older people join in they find themselves defending themselves because they might not understand the dynamic . It makes me cringe. Notice the last message by Lewishamman? Is that neighbourly?


Lewishamman I'm sorry that Declan made you feel that way. I didn't see the need for him to speak to you like that. I hope you know that there are people in the community and on this forum that don't believe you have to be nasty to have a discussion. There's lots of great stuff on this forum if you look past the ugly bits. :)

    • Whilst I agree to some extent,  are they going to have some kind of checkpoint?  I can't see how this could work in practice. Surely Southwark residents go to these places quite frequently as well, particularly Tate Modern?  Will we have to take proof of residency every time we go out? What happens when family are with us who don't live in Southwark? Will other London boroughs start doing the same thing? Will Southwark residents be charged a tourist tax to visit "tourist attractions" in other areas, eg the V&A and the British Museum?
    • A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.
