Blackheath is really good too...on a related but slight tangent, I've just been watching the news and seen that most councils have yet to undertake fire risk assessments of their properties as required under law of all social landlords; the type which might have prevented the tragedy in Camberwell over the summer. Lambeth has assessed 2 blocks of the 112 it owns. Maybe some reprioritising of budgets needs to be considered before this years Guy Fawkes night...
Battersea Park display is HUGE and excellent - http://www.whatsonwhen.com/sisp/index.htm?fx=event&event_id=19691 -http://www.wandsworth.gov.uk/info/200006/arts_and_entertainment/288/fireworks_displays but note the admission fee.Also you can usually get there by train in about 10 minutes from Denmark Hill or Peckham Rye.

That'll be Dulwich Sports Club on Burbage Road. I used to go when I was a kid. They have them every year and are to be recommended.

    • I know. Now the weather has been better for a few days, that whole area has been well used by people sitting out in the grass and just enjoying the peace and views- mainly young people too! Now all that will be lost for the rest of the summer as the grass does not recover until autumn.
    • The year of Councillor Naima Ali's tenure as Southwark Mayor comes to a close on Saturday. Her energy and enthusiasm have made her a popular local figure and she has been dubbed the Hugging Mayor and sometimes the Dancing Mayor. She talked with Chris Haydon on PECKHAM PODCAST about her life journey, FGM and being proud to be British:  
    • It's started. And seeing it just now made me feel genuinely a bit flat and sad. 
    • I'd forgotten about that place.  It wasn't a market as such, it was just run by one  couple. They did have some quite interesting things. I still have a mirror I got from there, which had been  put inside an old painted  shuttered window frame from somewhere in India. Mumbai I think. There also used to be occasional indoor  markets in the church hall where the cinema now is, next to where the Irish shop used to be. But if memory serves they were usually either jumble sales (do they still exist?) or craft sales before Christmas. There have also been occasional indoor markets at the church hall in Dulwich Village and the church hall at the church in Barry Road up by the Plough. There never seemed to be many people buying things at them. But it does all depend on what is being sold, whether it appeals to the local demographic,  where the market is located and how it is publicised. And, obviously,  whether it is profitable for the traders.
