I went to Dulwich Gallery today and parked in the off-road recessed parking opposite the gallery, to the right of the park gates. I couldn't believe there was a space. No sign of anything but wiggley lines. Of course i got a ticket- but for parking on the zebra zig zags. But i was behind them off road...cars next to me ticketed too. Dastardly and confusing. I'd never park on a zebra but apparently i did.

Re: why have we got a 20mph zone?

I've just been camera flashed driving alongside Nunhead Cemetery driving I think at 25 mph. I had no idea it was a 20mph zone.

This morning, just after leaving house for sixth form, and yes smoking a crafty fag, my 17 year old son was stopped by a

passing speeding cop car which screeched to a halt, two policemen got out and asked him if he was smoking cannabis

Think they are definitely out to get you. :)

lol Dulwich Fox. You are adding to my paranoia!

I think I looked at the wiggly lines and just couldn't compute them as they were out of context. so my bad.

I did have a 'why is no one else parking there' feeling but then I was going to the Escher exhibition were everything is topsy turvey.

Good news is I never did get done for speeding by Nunhead Cemetery, proabably because I wasn't.

Did you ever appeal this? I got one today in the same place and feel very hard done by. It's in a bay set back from the road and you're not blocking anyone's eye-line of the zebra crossing. There was a note some kind man attached to it saying that he had appealed his ticket there and won and gave me his number. He said the adjudicator had agreed with him that it was a "point of law that the zig zags should be on a road and not in a bay". I think I'm going to appeal and hope it's not too drawn out. I think the lines should either be removed completely or some signage saying DO NOT PARK HERE!
If I have this location correct it's a space that allows access to a driveway and presumably garages to the adjacent house? This is set behind the zig-zags and on a gravel bed, effectively positioning your car "off-road" The lines are designed to allow full view of the crossing and as such you have not obscured and therefore no offence committed, I would definitely re-visit and send photo's in with your appeal.

My mother had a parking ticket in that spot too, she appealed and it just got dropped, she never heard anything more from it and it went way over the time limit they had for responding.


I took a few photos of the sight-lines to use as evidence if needed.


Since then, some locals have been out putting up signs warning about parking there. Definitely worth an appeal.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
