All the bits of london that aren't really london but pretend to be - Bromley & Sidcup (north kent), Croydon & Sutton (north surrey), whatever the south essex equivalents are etc...


And Dalston. Fairly certain there are no actual buildings, just traffic that finally gave up and died.

blimey ... is there anywhere in London you actually like ?



though I do agree Thornton Heath is a bit of shithole ! NEWHAM ... East Ham in particular . all the streets look identical .. good Dosa cafe near the station though . Plumstead is weird , the Common is interesting .

North London.... (said only to remind people from North London how stupid they sound when the say "there is nothing in South London worth visiting"...)


yes... I know it's the middle the night but I can't sleep..... aahhhhh

Since then Peckham has completed its arrival, Forest Hill is now something first-time buyers can only dream of and I'm told Deptford is pretty happening now. Haven't been to see for myself, obviously.


I would say that the South Bank is now no longer worth visiting unless you love crowds and eating overpriced food standing up.

Disagree - fun for grown ups, fun for kids, such dense cultural content too (NT, BFI, Royal Phil, Meltdown), plus the freebies like Martin Creed's musical lift in Festival Hall for the kids, the terrace bar on the 4th floor for great uncrowded views etc etc And OK - eating isn't amazing, but the chains, given it's a tourist area, are pretty decent.

    • They used to have dedicated park wardens, who I'm sure used to look after the parks and locked and opened the gates. Years ago I knew someone who was one. I thought they were based in that hut by the toilets. Are they not there any more? The community wardens are attached to the police rather than a specific park, aren't they?
    • Yes, sad how Rye Lane has taken a dive, interesting to see those pics CPR Dave. It's shocking how the section between Choumert Road and the Nag's Head in particular has lost its vibrancy, meanwhile the next section to the top of Peckham Rye Common has gentrified. Wonder why such a distinction in fortunes? Anyway the station square plans have fallen behind yet again, demolition won't now start this summer. The only "work" that will now take place this summer is surveying of the arcade, which they've had 10 years since planning permission to do. At least the replacement TSB branch has progressed but the Blenheim Grove corner building still looks unfinished, despite claims it "is now complete". https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/current-and-future-development/peckham-and-nunhead-2
    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?
