Re: The Bridge


The fact that neither the Bridge, nor Bellingham sports centre can be brought up to COVID-19 compliant standards is quite revealing in itself. It shows that Bellingham ward has already been neglected long term, and its outdated infrastructure has not been upgraded. This suggests that Bellingham ...

The shop sign looks very similar to a Mega Saver chain they have in Nebraska and Florida.

Re: Sydenham has highest Covid deaths in Lewisham!

St Christopher’s Hospice comes under Bromley borough so wouldn’t be used in Lewisham’s stats despite it still being SE26.

BP Kirkdale

Does anyone know what’s happened to the BP garage on Kirkdale? The lights on the signage are turned off, the shop is empty as if the bailiffs have been in and there’s an empty skip outside.

While it’s blantantly a franchise I’m surprised BP haven’t stepped in.

Re: Sydenham Post Office to close for refurbishment



If WHSmith didn’t have such a dowdy approach to retail they might have been a company with the foresight and ability to make a profit in that space.

Downham, Bromley Rd Post Office has a Subway sandwich shop and an off licence!


It is not operated by WH Smith.

Re: Bakerloo Line Extension



You wont lose the Hayes line. The tube will run on the same tracks (making the extension easier than other options), and be more frequent. I am unsure where it would be diverted?

The Hayes line is already at full capacity so adding some Bakerloo trains means losing some of the current ...
