Sydenham Town Forum

I occasionally pop in to buy a coffee/pastry with 2 young children in tow. We then retire to enjoy our purchases admiring the community garden or park. I find it often too busy to get a table in the cafe. I am very happy that business at the cafe is going so well. I am sure that the owners have no ...

There are also Facebook groups 'Sydenham mums' & 'crystal palace mums' - people are often asking for recommendations for great people who do kids haircuts & also mobile hairdressers so you could try & join those groups. Be prepared on the latter for lots of photos of medical queries :roll:

Ok so I went back this morning to find the name for you & get another coffee. He also owns a kiosk in Penge East station & it is under his family name Sheriff's Coffee Co.

Italian coffee & Italian freshly baked pastries - not helping my resolve to save money this month!

I would visit both schools or go to the fairs to get a good feel of the atmosphere. We preferred the feel of Adamsrill to Haseltine and Ofsted can be misleading. It can all come down to the head teacher and both schools have got new head's since those results. We chose Kilmorie in the end although ...

Sorry if this is old news but only just returned to work post Xmas....., We have a coffee outlet at Lower Sydenham station platform 1 in the ticket office. Does fresh coffees, toast, fruit, soft drinks etc I am no coffee expert but he has a fancy machine & it isn't giving me a nasty burnt/ashtray ...

It is fab - I got a take away of fresh, delicious sushi, edamame & picked up a chicken Katsu curry for my partner who doesn't like seafood. Had a beer whilst waiting and the bill was very reasonable. Highly recommend this place

Also if you fancy a day outdoors which is free and a bit different try Harvington Estate - there is a play park, playing fields perfect for ball games & woodland with a paddling stream and rope swing over the stream. My kids loved being able to paddle and the rope swing was really popular :D ...

If you are heading to Eltham Palace - or in that direction can I recommend a stop off to help the lovely volunteers at Dun Runnin in Brands Hatch. It is a greyhound rescue and about a 40min drive away depending on traffic. My kids and I visited yesterday and walked 2 lovely greyhounds in the woods ...

I just visited for lunch today. It is opposite on the hoof. I had an amazing fresh juice, apple, carrot & ginger. They made me an amazing falafel wrap whilst my little girl had a tub of vanilla & chocolate ice cream. Owner was very friendly & made a fuss of my daughter. He described it as Turkish ...

Someone stabbed in broad daylight near Silverdale. Lots of agitated people pacing about and people seemed to know who was involved.

Anybody who would like to support the local pop-up shop, Flash Trash at 167 Sydenham Road - Kym will also be open on Sunday and has a sale on her vintage clothes and furniture . She is also stocking lots of high quality and cool crafts from local designer/makers plus kids gifts and stocking fillers ...

Pop down to 167 Sydenham Road - Kym has a sale on her vintage clothes and furniture. Plus lots of amazing gifts to buy from crafts people and designer/makers. Kids gifts and stocking fillers too......

Shop local people - it has got to beat queuing to get into Bromley/Croydon car parks

Does anyone know how the order you place the 6 schools matters? For example if I really love 1 school but due to distance am not sure I'd get in do I still make it no.1 on my list?? People in our street have kids there already but moved recently to our street so might have applied mid school year ...

Their make-up was amazing and so scary up close! I thought there were some very inventive costumes and make-up
