I think it's just a large pothole. Also, you can drive round the barrier - so even though the sign says the road is closed - it isn't totally blocked (or at least not last time I looked anyway!).

Tim For what it's worth I totally agree with you that it isn't just political correctness. A ghetto only exists if poeple make assumptions that all people living in one type of housing act exactly the same. I lived on an estate until a year ago, and I didn't experience any problems. Perhaps if there ...

I would ask Ring o Roses for recommendations. If the dress was bought there they might give you a discount with which ever dry cleaners they use.

Jim - I received your leaflet through the post today - but it doesnt mention anything about Sydenham. For example you say about having more Police on the streets - but how we do we know if you plan to increase police numbers in our area?!

Well I am also a young professional in my twenties, and we bought in Sydenham last summer, having previously bought in another nearby part of South London. Sydenham was the only decent area where I could afford a decent garden flat, and I am not disappointed with our choice of location. I personally ...

Pat Thanks very much for such a detailed response! I recently purchased 2 old maps of the Upper Sydenham area (where I live!) from 1890s and 1914. This is how I discovered the old railway line, and few other interesting facts about the area. I am keen to learn more, and so if you can point me in the ...

I was wondering if anyone knows why (and also when) Upper Sydenham Station was closed down? It must have been an expensive stretch to build because of the tunnels, so perhaps it was too costly to maintain. Or was it closed after Crystal Palace burned down?
Thanks in advance for any ideas....

Megan - I totally agree with all your comments. Glad Im not alone! Beltwood - I understand that you are due to receive a visit from the planning department in the next few days (if they haven't been already). I believe the council will also be checking that you have all the correct licenses in place ...

Did anyone else know that Beltwood Mansion (next to Dulwich Wood House pub on Sydneham Hill) has become a night club: http://www.beltwoodestate.com/ http://www.clubzone.com/home.asp?city=35 They claim: [i]This new upmarket venue housed British Royals and even the Beatles and it is ready to host the ...

Could anyone recommend a decent local hairdressers? Has anyone tried the Outback Salon outside Sydenham Station?
Thanks in advance...

Thanks for letting me know Steve!
I've called them and they are sending me a box withing 7-10 days.

Congratulations Danny!
I think it depends on which street you live on as each sugery has a catchment area.

I would like to start recycling some of my house-hold waste. I've checked on Lewisham website and it says to visit the recycle centre in New Cross, but I wondered if there's any alternative service, where items are collected from homes. I noticed that Lewisham bin lorries have pictures on the side ...

Sydenham Don & Weeble - aren't you regular posters on Virtual Norwood? I am as well... Really pleased to see this forum has been set up as I was starting to wonder if anyone was interested in anything other than CP!!! I totally agree with you Weeble. I think give it time and Sydenham will get its ...

Maybe you should move to another area!
