But not the Pawlene Arms or the Penge bungalow murders?

Yes. The drama for us ended Thursday night. Others may be less fortunate. Thameswater formally removed the crisis from their incident register today.

Thameswater has run out of bottled water! Awaiting replenishment at Bell Green.

A bottled water station is now open at Sainsbury’s Southend Lane, SE26 4PU

Here's Thameswater's map of affected areas. The area to th the left has been restored but the rest looks like a long haul as they are setting up bottle stations.

No water this morning? Thameswater have a major problem affecting: SE19 SE20, SE23, SE26, SE27 & SW16
