Please be cautious. The cat killer is still very active and very much in the local areas.

Hi I've been practicing yoga for 8 years and now a qualified teacher. Offering private or group classes over the summer to local residents who are keen to practice. Also looking for local space to hold classes. Any ideas welcome. Thank you

Try Tiger Sheds. I have a great bike shed from them. Very easy to assemble and good quality.

Hi looking for a reliable gardener or similar to cut back hedge in front garden in Newlands Park and take green waste away. Recommendations please? Thanks

Hello I am looking for opportunities locally in Sydenham where I can sell preloved clothes, my New venture, Violet's Wardrobe. I am local and have a stall at crystal palace and south Norwood booked and also an eve at a Penge pub. I really want to hold a sale in Sydenham. Any ideas welcome, thnsks ...

Very excited to be launching a new ladies preloved clothes agency in SE26. Located on Newlands Park and pop up open house on Lennard Road. Our first event is Saturday 11th June. Come along to browse the rails and enjoy a glass of fizz... Hope to see you there! All contact and info on the website if ...

This doesn't surprise me having joined the gym and seen the other members in close proximity, more chatting, posturing and general hanging around in the gym. I have complained several times on social media to Pure gym but they are not interested.

As the OP, and been off the forum a while, it frustrates me that after 6 months the problems are still there, ever increasing and it seems all of the local residents feel the same. Please please log your interest in CPZ on the lewisham council website. Surely they need to take action soon. Sydenham ...

I have offered to help leaflet the local area. Please follow Facebook page of South Norwood Animal Rescue for daily updates. Key message is keep your cats in!

Transport links in Sydenham are so much better than FH. Having the additional line at Penge East gives access to Victoria and Blackfriars but also the other way to Bromley South and beyond. I have lived off Kirkdale, Lower Sydeham and now by Venner. Spoilt for choice with parks and local shops but ...

Hi I have a 5 month pup. I love close to Alex Rec which is great for weekday walks. Further afield we go to CP and Beckenham Place. BP is huge and v easy parking.
Other options are Cator, Harvington which is just by Eden Park station. The Bridge House is so dog friendly. My pup is v welcome there

Hi and welcome! I would def register at Sydenham Green practice. I regret leaving there and joining Wells Park. Not nearly as friendly or easy to get an appt.

Hand written sign on shutter today "shop closed". Very helpful.

The Goldsmiths also has something on

Sydenham traffic not helped by the Penge Lane closure. More coming up Newlands Park to get up to CP as Green Lane always at a standstill. I won't even start on the current parking challenges...

Another shout for Property World. Great family firm who really care about the area and doing the right thing. I have always sold via them. I have bought via others; Uniplan, Acorn, Mann... All much of a muchness.

Hi urgently need someone to fix back gate, sticking due to damp,weather. Gate ok, new frame needed. Be grateful for recommendations thanks

Hi can anyone recommend a local builder who could advise and fix a couple of damp issues caused by penetrating water, therefore need brick maintenance, pointing etc. thanks

Why is it "outrageously selfish" to want to park near my house? I don't think commuters driving from another area do have the same rights. Ok they pay their road tax but they are using residential roads as a car park. There are plenty of good bus and rail routes across the south east, people are ...
