We are thinking about buying a house on Underhill Road, but we are worried about the commute to the city. Just up from Belvoir Road, going away from Lordship Lane. Anyone live around there, commuting into the City (Liverpool Street and Aldergate area)? What is the commute like? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I live on Underhill near you and work near Moorgate. It normally takes me less than an hour door to door.

There are several ways to get there:

1. Get to ED station and then get the train to LB and then walk/tube it in.

2. Get the P13 to either West Dulwich or Tulse Hill stations and get the train to City Thamslink/Farringdon and then the walk/tube from there.

3. Get the 363 from Underhill to Peckham Rye and then either the train to LB or to City Thamslink/Farringdon.


The 'difficult' bit is getting to a station, which takes anything up to 25 minutes. After that it's easy.

Hi,


That's really near me. I live off Underhill between Melford Rd and Lordship lane.


I moved in March and either cycle which takes me 30 mins to Bank, or when its bad weather take the train from Forest Hill which thankfully now takes Oyster PAYG so I dont have to queue for a ticket every fluffing time.


Getting to FH station you can either walk over the hill past the Horniman which takes about 10 mins or hop on a 176, 197 or 185 bus which are normally quite frequent.


I personally think its a great place to be located (though I am clearly biased) as you're near the park and being connected to FH is handy not only for getting into town but also to connect to East Croydon which is a major hub to lots of other places. And its going to be on the East London line. The only downside is that its a zone 3 station where as East Dulwich is zone 2. The Plough at the Barry Rd/Lordship lane junction is also a rather nice pub in my opinion.



Anna.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
