I usually cycle to Herne Hill and get the train to St Pancras or you can do the same from Denmark Hill (obviously both stations can be got to by bus). My guaranteed quickest route is cycle to Brixton then Victoria Line to KX. Quicker because of the regularity of tube departures but not as pleasant as the train. If you're travelling with lots of luggage and late at night or early in the morning then the 63 bus is a pretty good bet and once you're on, you're on (goes from Peckham Rye, FHR).


I can highly recommend the City Mapper ap which is real time and adjusts as you move. Very good for our option rich success poor transport situation.

Or even train from East Dulwich to Tulse Hill and change for Thameslink direct to St Pancras. As long as you don't leave the station Oyster will never know you ventured into Zone 3 temporarily! :)


The other way round is easy as its on the same platform island.

Have you got any advice on safe places to leave a bike in Brixton? I would cycle here more often, except I don't' really like leaving my bike there and don't want to carry multiple locks.

Megabus is full of students - is there a better way ?

I just lock it up on the racks outside the station and have been for years. I use a decent d-lock and have an integral lock on the wheel. The only problem I have had is when I left it there for 4 days and my saddle was stolen. My bike is second hand and covered in markings from 2 bike identification schemes which might help (that, at least, was the idea).

    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.  
    • BIAB is supposed to be less damaging to the nails than Shellac. It stands for Builder in a Bottle. 
    • I have been training at the hub for just over one year. I really enjoy the variety of training offered and the quality of the instructors. Very effective group classes and enjoyable in the open air! A very welcoming place which makes a fitmess journey pleasant!  
    • We're are just about to get ready for sale, a 2 bed flat, very close to Peckham Rye park.  It has been rented out for sometime, so is in need of some TLC for it to look its best, before it goes on the market.  Would be interested to know others thoughts on whether its best to just have the place painted completely white throughout, probably with new grey flooring, or if it might be more appealing to add some colour/interest (nothing too drastic), perhaps something alittle 'warmer', with some nice (potentially dark) feature walls maybe? Wondered whether the days of going completely white might now have passed ..... It might be useful to know that its not a period or conversion property, but rather a flat in a private purpose built block.
