Sydenham Town Forum

Thank you. It has been a true labour of love 'saving' this amazing house over the last five years. Now it doesn't leak, isn't falling down and has got back to its Victorian style we hope the next owners love it as much. We researched its history, built its family tree and hosted the great-grand ...

I am interested in which barber you got the bad haircut from. Interestingly enough, I don't get a good cut from the owner but all the others have been great.

Hi Eagle. Thanks for this information Eagle. Having done mroe investigation, however, I think that the connection with actor George Arliss may be mistaken. George Arliss's actual name was George Augustus Andrews. He chose the name Arliss as a stage name as one of his first names was Arliss ...

Thank you - the house is certainly very enjoyable to live in - and even more interesting to find out about. I guess the neighbour at 86 is Tim, we have been speaking and he has shared some information with us. I would be really pleased to hear from Steve who I noticed on these forums is a real ...

Hi Everyone, I throught I could add a bit of an update on 'Crofton Lodge' at 88 Venner Road, hope to be able to share some new information and see if you historical experts out there can help me to move my own searches along. One month ago, my partner and I were lucky enough to buy 88 Venner Road ...

I have just moved into Sydenham and am looking for recommendations for a good reliable dog walker who can take our miniature Schnauzer five days per week - pick up in the morning before 9am and drop back after 4pm. Many thanks
