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 ...

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 ...

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
