Once in a while I drive from ED to Lewisham during the early evening. I usually go through Honor Oak and Ladywell, which was fine up until a year or so ago, but now the traffic build-up on Honor Oak Park and Ladywell Road is so bad that that what was once a 20 minute journey is taking 45.


Does anyone else do this journey on weekday evenings and, if so, have you settled on a better route?


Thanks.

A bit of lateral thinking - the train from Peckham Rye to Lewisham is quick, if that's an option for you?


Otherwise, if you really need to drive then you could try Nunhead/Drakefell Rd/Brockley then negotiate the residential roads through to Lewisham. But then the Brockley "double roundabout" can get very busy too..

Coming back to Dulwich from Lewisham by bus is actually easier and quicker than going from Dulwich to Lewisham as you can take whichever bus comes first. You can catch the 185 bus, the 484 or the P4 (changing buses opposite the Horniman Museum in this case if necessary) or the 122, changing buses at Forest Hill station.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
