The general Met number for Southwark is



0300 123 1212


Opening Hours: 06:00-22:00 Mon - Sun



and I guess they'd put you through to the relevant people

Thanks for the replies. Am seeing people obviously casing out houses on our street on a regular basis, and people knocking on doors asking for people who have never lived in the street, then walking to a different street on being told wrong door number. I used to work with attempting to rehabilitate ex career convicts, and can usually spot a career criminal a mile off. Will be getting in touch with the local force from now on, shame they sold up and moved out of ED though. A real shame, our local Police were a good lot.

I can support this. I'm working at home most days now and have had several callers in daytime asking for people who clearly don't stay here before moving down the street. Not middle class paranoia - just blatant casing. The last guy looked like the Notorious BIG with a red baseball cap, phat jeans and a bandanda.


Then on Sat morning we watched fascinated as someone broke into a car on our street - phoned Peckham nick as it happened (ED closed which sucks).- but not heard back. There's no fear! Broad daylight, stuck his hand through the window, strolled (yes STROLLED) round to the other side, got in, jump started it and away - all in under 2mins.

To be honest I don't think they are targeting one part of ED more than another SCSB....I've never understood that particular forum sentiment. Pretty much any street with 2/3 empty houses during the day and high value goods inside, next to a much poorer inner urban area with high unemployment, drug probs etc is an open invitation.

    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
