I was wondering if anybody knew why the TFL website is telling me that the best way to get to Clapham Common tonight is to get the 185 to Oval and then take the tube? Do the current roadworks in Brixton make the 37 a slower option at the moment?


I'm in NCR and I need to get to Clapham Common for 7pm tonight.


Thanks folks!

roadworks are one factor but rushhour around Brixton and Clapham generally tend to be nightmarish


I'm a big bus advocate but at that time of night I would skip the bus too. And overground train to Clapham High St takes about 10 minutes well. i haven't used it for a while so double check...

I've also noticed TfL never suggest using the 37, more so than other odd suggestions it sometimes gives. If I know a route that I trust I just use that and ignore TfL, it's only useful for destinations you're unfamiliar with and even then you have to go through the hassle of pointing out that you can walk faster than a snail and would rather not pay for 3 buses plus a train!


Or just cycle, http://london.cyclestreets.net is a much better journey planner for us two-wheeled folk.

I've just tried it on East Dulwich Grove to the Green Man, Putney (the 37 terminus).


The direct route, nominal 50 minutes, was the third offered. Next best was twice the time. But the commentary did warn of possible severe delays due to both gas and water main roadworks.


At its best, very early morning, it can be a nice 35 minute journey

      Oh give it a break.  We have an MP who makes racist comments, yet our media (and what seems like this Forum) that generally hate Labour (and loved Johnson) are just out looking for the dirt. It's a move on, nothing to see here.  Particularly if she used a letting agency.

      I don't think a single all-inclusive URL is easily doable.  When you enter a search the system presents the result without any of one's search parameters added to the URL.  So I suggest you go to https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/search.do?action=advanced where you just need to enter the address -- use SE22 8EW -- and the  Date Received start date.  I used 1/1/2025.  The three Tesco applications, all minor things, were all made in May.  The Simple search that I'd done previously had no time limit, and didn't include anything else that might have been from Tesco in the last two years. Incidentally, when I searched on the address 29-35 Lordship Lane it did not pick up the Tesco applications, which were held as 29 - 35 Lordship Lane Grrr!
