Blame it on the last ice age - that's when the geology was formed, apparently.

Not really - the ice stopped at the terminal moraine (a sort of ridge pushed forward by the snout of the ice sheet) in Finchley. It never got south of that point. Diverted the Thames to its present location, though - before that it probably reached the sea somewhere near Maldon in Essex.

I thought it was the Lambeth Beds.

I was going to say to the OP that she'll be e pensioner before anything happens. But you've said it in another way.

But I do admire her pluck. Go for it Nikki!

Well played nikki, lets make this happen.

Like with many obstacles they can be overcome if the will power is there. The benefits for Camberwell and ED would be significant including house prices.

Can't belive peopple have stood by for so long and not made this a real issue, its about time in London we stood up for something close to home!

I cant believe that with all the tunnelling experience we have in this country (The Underground itself, the Channel, Tom, Dick & Harry) we can't build a tunnel between the Elephant and Camberwell Green and possibly beyond. I did say in a previous post that if you look at a map the next logical stop is Denmark Hill, then North Dulwich, Sydenham Hill (South Dulwich) and then Crystal Palace to join up with the new East London Line extension. We need SMB to get this through.

Sod the house prices...tube=change of community in a negative sense

[Jeremy]

Yep, house prices are not a factor (unless you're a property investor, or you plan to sell up and leave).

But it would be nice to have something better than the current half-hourly service we have to put up with in the evenings.

Nunhead might be lacking in baby shops and places that sell over-priced coffee but it's a 10 minute walk from my door to the East London Line.
