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).

    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
    • I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
    • Hi. Does anyone know of a silver making jewellery workshop. I am trying to find something nice for my daughter’s 18th birthday.l for her and some friends but everything I find online is too pricey or can’t accommodate 10 girls. Thanks
