I absolutely oppose any development whatsoever that will increase the traffic volume on Southend Lane unless steps are taken to improve the road layout to handle the increase. At present during peak hours - particularly during holiday periods such as the Easter and Christmas break - traffic queues ...

The Greyhound

The following was received anonymously: I have read some pathetic comments about the Greyhound Public House. For quite some time Sydenham residents have complain about the Greyhound Pub and that they want change. There has been a new landlady there for about a year now, she has created the changes ...

Re-open the railway?

If, as I read Crystal Palace is going to be a National Sport Centre - .
what is the posibility of knocking down a few properties and reworking the old Nunhead to Crystal Palace railway?

Might even help with traffic problems.

It is a grave shame that this pub with a lovely (if shabby) Victorian/Edwardian interior, has been allowed to be ruinned over the last 15 years. It can never be bought back and I am surprised local groups did not get it listed. I guess, it is a reflection of Sydenham`s downward spiral. From once ...

We would be very interested in hearing more about the 'redevelopment' of the Greyhound car park. We live directly behind this pub and it is a nightmare with its euro bins overflowing with rubbish and the lids left off. We have seen several rats rummaging around the kitchen back door. The kitchen ...

Rev J W Millers & a school at Perry Hill c1840

Do you have any knowledge of Rev J W Millers, who had a school at Perry Hill, Sydenham in the late 1840s? I can't find him in the Clergy Lists for the period and he wasn't at Oxford or Cambridge; and so I wondered if he was in some way connected with the Dissenters Chapel. Please don't bother to ...

The Greyhound - who is responsible?

Like the site and was just searching for someone who has the responsibility for the Greyhound Pub as we live very close (unfortunately for us). It is turning into a nightmare, with a once a fortnight 'boot sale' that attracts about 4 stall holders and no customers (I wonder how long that will last ...

The junk 'shop' at the head of newlands park (in the old
off license yard area) is an eyesore which now appears to
be taking over the pavement area in front of it as well.
Can't something be done about this kind of degeneration of
the area?

Sydenham was featured on Blue Peter on Tuesday night as one of the presenters traced part of his family tree to Sydenham.

The presenter was Simon Thomas, the one with blonde highlights in his hair. He was filming on the bridge by the infamous zebra crossing.
