Sydenham Town Forum

I can assure you they were very busy between 1 and 5 AM today, full-on drilling and flashing lights from the vans. No football on at such ungodly hours of course.

I usually get a seat on the 08.19 and when I've travelled in before 08.00 it's usually been pretty easy. The things to watch out for though are delays and cancellations, which are happening a lot with Southern at the moment. I would recommend you keep an eye on the likely services you'll want to use ...

I did read in 'London Drinker' earlier this year that it had been bought by Wetherspoons and was to be converted to their format at the end of this year.

In the absence of any actual evidence I will treat this debut post by someone calling themselves 'The Truth' with a certain amount of skepticism.

Glad to hear you're safe. Looking forward to the new Sainsburys putting these people out of business.

The lights on Sydenham Road are an embarrassment. If we can't afford decent lights (when other parts of Lewisham apparently can) it would be better to have none at all.

FWIW coming from the extremely rare political standpoint of secular distributism I completely understand Rod's point of view and would prefer the ownership of pubs - indeed all land and property - to be as widely distributed as possible. But we live in an imperfect world and the main thing I'm ...

Funny, I got an email back in response: Thank you for contacting UK Power Networks. I have checked against your address and seen that was a problem in your area yesterday that was caused by a fault on one of our underground cables. As soon as we were made aware we managed to re-route power remotely ...

Thanks Rachael, I've used the form to report it too.

Our lights dimmed (on the Chulsa estate) for a few seconds last night, around 10.40 pm. We've had a couple of incidents recently when the fuses tripped for all the plug sockets while an appliance was in use. Thought it might be down to recent mains work to our block, but maybe it's a wider issue.

Delivery access for the Greyhound will be considerably easier than it is for the Pavilion. It won't be a problem.

Grace wasn't quite such dishonourable sportsman he is often portrayed as - and don't forget that while routinely condemned in cricket for 'shamateurism', he used to waive fees for poorer patients in his Bristol GP practice. I heartily recommend Richard Tomlinson's new biography 'Amazing Grace: the ...

Why do we keep hearing such negative statements in this thread? The Greyhound is too small to be a viable pub; a non-food based offer won't succeed. Current market trends would suggest that such statements are entirely wrong. The biggest growing part of the UK pub sector over the past ten years has ...

There were four of them who zipped past me on the corner of Westwood Hill/Lawrie Park Rd on Wednesday, about 7pm. I was waiting to cross the road when the first of them turned into Lawrie Park very close to the kerb without signalling. If I'd stepped back to avoid him, the second rider cutting the ...

It was due a spruce up, but it's a shame they've gone for a rather predictable shade of gastropub green for the exterior paintwork.

I've been to their place in Gipsy Hill. Very good beer and a nice atmosphere.

With apologies for the blatant self-publicising, I hope I can attract a few of you to a reading I'll be giving at Kirkdale Bookshop next Friday evening at 7.30pm. My book, published three days ago, is called 'Long Shot Summer' and tells the story of a chaotic summer for English cricket when, in 1988 ...

5 men on site at 8.30 am today.

Surely an external rear staircase would obscure the view of the mosaic. Don't think I like that idea much.
