Sydenham Town Forum

A good few of my family back home in North Wales have Staffordshire Bull Terriers or Staff cross dogs. They are a lovely breed in general - loyal, patient and good with strangers / kids. Don't be put off by local young rudies lounging around with Staffs on thick studded collars. One of my neighbours ...

I work a random shift pattern and travel to work by train, from Sydenham Station. In over 14 months, I have yet to feel threatened or scared - the station and surroundings are well lit and a fairly busy area. However, one thing to watch is the terribly badly-placed zebra crossing on the station ...

We moved over the hill from Thornton Heath over a year ago and live (almost) in the shadow of the CP transmitter. We had difficulty receiving ITV when the other side of the hill and can't get BBC here (or is it the other way around?). We found that the only way that we could get a decent picture was ...

Any news on which slots are filled, Fishy?
I'm working an early on the Saturday and a night on the Sunday night. To get ready for my night shift, I'll be awake very late and willing to fill a gap in the witching hour / early morning shifts. Should I approach the shop proprietors themselves?

A work colleague uses the same company and neither of us have had any problems so far, except for minor glitches ...

Definitely the one near the bookshop - always used it for my suits before I changed job and could get them done more cheaply with a staff discount elsewhere.

We use the Noodle Time in Crystal Palace who should deliver throughout Sydenham ( 020 8653 3012 ) - clean, friendly with good portions and fast delivery time. Highly recommended.

I start working shifts from next week - can anyone tell me how reliable the N75 from Newlands Park is? I'll be trying to catch it at 0358 (time from the tfl website). Thanks.

Just like to say it's good to see a site with a proper RSS feed. I use the Sage extension to the Firefox browser to keep track of RSS and it works fine

Well, the granny bonnets are in place and the 'Buff anti-skid surfacing with SLOW markings on the approaches to the crossing' has been laid. This has made exactly NO difference. I cross this zebra twice a day on the way to and from work and am fed up of having to jump out of the road. Some drivers ...
