Fire in Camberwell - January 6


Update - January 6 9am


There has been a fire in Camberwell overnight.


The London Fire Brigade was called at 0228 and fifteen fire engines, four aerial appliances and around 75 firefighters tackled the blaze in a building under construction on Camberwell Station Road in Camberwell. A substantial part of the building (four storeys) was alight at one stage. There are no reported injuries or fatalities and the fire is now under control.


As a precaution around 150 people living nearby, including Mitcham House, were evacuated to a rest centre established in Flodden Road. The Red Cross were there with council officers to provide food, drinks and support. All residents have now been allowed back to their homes.


There does not appear to be any damage to residential properties close to the site, but some nearby business premises do appear to have been affected. There was also some disruption to local transport but the bus depot and train lines are now running.

The cause of the fire is not known at this stage and police have started their investigation.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
