Sydenham Town Forum

To help inform debate on this issue my impartial view to LDG members regarding local opinion on this issue is:
90% - WTF is the Livesley hall?
9.9%- knock it down and build a drive through KFC
0.1%- won't someone think about the children

Got a Royal Mail email this morning saying a parcel would be delivered today. The surprise was it arrived. Not by our postman, not in a Royal Mail van but in an unmarked black van. I assume the Forest Hill/Sydenam DO managers hired in strike breakers who crossed picket lines. I could have waited a ...

There was a public consultation about whether to approve the Bell Green Neighbourhood Area boundary, which was publicly discussed over 2 years. Almost all the public respondents approved; a handful of councillors didn't. Lewisham’s director of planning rejected the boundary, and designated an area o ...

Still missing November & December copies of Razzle, not a happy bunny

It is a veritable Christmas/ winter wonderland, I've heard tell it's the same illuminator who used to decorate Regent Street back in the heyday of high st displays.

Agree 100%, open it up.

Let's stop all the bickering and infighting, I'm sure given time normal people and those from Bellingham can all just work together.

Although obviously being more industrious and smarter the Sydenham folk will do the vast majority of the leg work but let's not quibble about semantics until later.

As a member of the Friends of Sydenham Tyres Tyre Mountain (trying saying that after a few) I say hands off, it's the only man made structure in Sydenham that can be seen from outer space.

El Cid you've raised something ( and put in a more eloquent way than I could have managed) I've often thought when I've compared the GL with the Dolphin. The Golden Lion isn't a bad little pub, slight problem with the real ale quality now and then but always great service by polite welcoming bar ...

I've had a check and unfortunately The Official Monster Raving Loony Party will not be fielding a candidate this time round, unsure about Lord Bucket Head.

Joy to the world. On Christmas eve, the responsible Lewishambles officer told me that, due to COVID-19 striking the Archdiocese’s agent, the planning inquiry’s statement of common ground hadn’t been progressed. That means there has been no agreement on how to limit the scope of the inquiry, or to sa ...

Sydenham Panther aka The Beast of Sydenham. The following understated article from back when captures the mood perfectly- Fear stalks the streets of Sydenham.. especially like the reference to blossom filled streets! Very Midsummer Murders. https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2005/mar/23/patrickbarkham ...

Sydenhamites deserve a Harvey Nichols express or at the very least for Heston Blumenthal to open a Fat Duck style eatery. I have written to both extolling the virtues of London's most up and coming neighborhood and attached photos of Sydenham High St to give them an idea of just how dynamic the area ...

If youngsters on e-scooters don't get you one of the marauding elderly thugs driving high powered mobility scooters will.

I, for one, hope the Harris Sydenham is not named after the now disgraced ex-Sydenhamonian Rolf!!! Scandalous if it is.

Not sure whether it counts towards the airborne traffic count but I've seen 3 helicopters in the last 2 days...

Sad news, it appears some bandits have vandalised the Meglasaorous: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-52789270
Lots of happy memories going to visit the dinasours both as a kid and with my own children. Hopefully they apprehend the perpetrators and make them pay for the damage.

Hi all, the lockdown worked so well some people think the pandemic is over. The traffic and people outside my home on Friday and yesterday was quite shocking and not one mask. It’s not the flu it’s more like airborne HIV and there is no guarantee of immunity as there are 3 distinct mutations. There ...

Best of luck to this new business venture but can't help thinking they missed a trick, they should have offered Ni-ni-ni 19, 19, ni-19 19
19, 19, 19, 19 % of the bill until end of March..

Hey man there's no reason for normal folk and bikers to argue, can't we all just get along?
