I was thinking of all the secondary schools in South London that no longer is around anymore but was very well known in 70s & 80s I went to a girls school called Priory Park in Clapham North we then mixed with Stockwell Manor which now an Academy and my old school is now an annexe for Lambeth College. Be nice to know what school anyone else went to or remember?

I have heard of that school I think Ken Livingston went there?

He did. Linton Kwesi Johnson was another pupil and so was Danny Williams who knocked out Mike Tyson inside four rounds. It was a rough and tough school. No place for shrinking violets.

There have been loads of changes to the schools in and around the se22 area.

Honour Oak Girls School became Waverley and is now Harris girls.

William Penn briefly became Dulwich High school for boys. It then closed and Charter now occupies refurbished buildings on the site.

Friern girls school was empty for several years. It was then demolished and the site used as a temporary site for another school. Harris Boys School is now in a new building on the site.

St. John's and St. Clements primary school was in North Cross Road. The buildings have been converted to residential and the school now occupies the buildings previously used by Thomas Calton school.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
