Let's face it, it was weird from the outset


I'm suprised it lasted that long

But do they have Fullers Walnut cake?


My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Used to be occasionally taken to Lyons in Streatham in the sixties ..... erm, possibly fifties ......

Probably Fifties..Sue :) There were 2 in Rye Lane. One oposite Primarks one on the right

just before the station (coming from Dulwich)


I was always fasinated by the little heated cubicals with bowls of chips and other food in that were filled

from one side and collected the other side.


And the 'Nippys' were always nice to me when I about 5-6 . Such a sweet child I was. lol.


Foxy.

The Rose is an Enterprise Inns pub. Not sure how the people at the Rye will be running it if that is a Capital pub.

However, due to changes in legislation regarding tied pubs, Enterprise are selling some of their pubs and taking back others and managing them themselves or by proxies. The Signal in Forest Hill,formerly the Hob, an Enterprise pub, is now managed by Hippo Inns.

Brilliant. That would really turn the pub around :)

I would have thought the new owners/tenants would want the pub open for Christmas, New Year, as this is probably the busiest and most profitable time of the year. Eight Weeks, they must be doing a fairly big refurbishment.

Pity, I was hoping it would be open for Christmas, as it is the nearest pub to home.

Sidhue, I agree with you completely with regards to the audio message regarding the "Forest Hill Tavern"

Why anyone who is running a business and getting free advertising from TFL for the pub should change the name does seem to be rather unwise.

The only TFL audio that needs to change is FREE Ern road not FRY Ern.

On the P13 the announcement for Underhill/Belvoir Road is always "Bell-voir" Road not "Beaver" Road (which is how I was taught Belvoir is pronounced - at least that's how you say the place/stately home in Leicestershire).


Seems like a missed opportunity to me.

    • I think you have been very kind towards the the council.  And even kinder in your description of Peckham High Street (LOL). Peckham High Street Rye Lane is awful.  I know it is a very controversial opinion   but I am happy that some parts are going to developed and re built.   The dirty pavements, graffiti shops that put their stock all over pavements and racing cyclists make it not an enjoyable place to be in.  In the old days any business would have to keep their premises in good order.   I am much happier being near a simple bit of over greenery or weed.   It is much cleaner and feels safer to be next to.   Some parts of Peckham are plagued by Zombie like people who have fallen prey to substance abuse.  And I don't see the council putting much effort into helping these poor lost souls.
    • Our refuse collectors leave rubbish all the way down the hill after they have emptied the bins. Everywhere you go you see rubbish everywhere. On some days walking through the high street in Peckham can be truly depressing with plastic bags and paper blowing around everywhere, Peckham and other streets deserve better than this Council complacency. I'm sure it wasn't so bad back in the day. Councils everywhere, faced with cuts in revenue, must have decided a long time ago  that litter picking  and rubbish collection were not so important. I think a clean, tidy environment makes everyone feel better about their home environment. Btw, I'm ok with a few weeds. They are just wild flowers in an inconvenient place.
    • Have just enjoyed watching 100s of cyclists go past on Peckham Rye west. Couple of penny farthings, lit up bikes and music too!
    • This thread has got weird, people asking what the kids look like that are terrorizing people and getting shut down points to one thing
