Re: New coffee shops and closures
I imagine it’s so tricky between rents, costs increasing and the need to move with the times which in itself costs money (eg: If the stationers had a newer different shop front/layout would it have brought more custom etc?). I feel that although some businesses appear to be thriving I wonder whether ...

New coffee shops and closures
Just in case of interest there have been 2 new coffee shops opened in the last month or two and another on the way on Kirkdale.
Four boroughs on station approach - pretty much takeaway only - very popular coffee and other merchant (sells cycle related merch). They’re 4th place alongside CP ...

Vote for NCIL funding for local projects
The list of local projects that could get funding is up for Sydenham and neighbouring places in Lewisham. The process is far longer and needlessly more janky than it needs to be but you can vote for 3 projects in each of up to 3 different areas if you wish.

Re: Proposal to make Byne and Wiverton Roads one way
Re: your last point wonder whether the fact both Byne and Wiverton are entirely within Bromley and Venner strays into Lewisham? I’m always confused by it as I’m on Byne - Sydenham post code, bromley council, penge east station nearest station but Sydenham high street nearest high street lol

Re: New board game night at Ignition
Just a little bump for the board game night this coming Thursday. Think we have around 10-12 people confirmed so if you fancy a board game, socialising, a ping or a bit of all 3 feel free to come join from 7ish.

Re: TfL rules out regular London Overground trains to London Bridge
In either case the huge issue is for anyone with an impairment that increases difficulty of changing trains. Whether it be a physical impairment due to disability or older age, a cognitive impairment or a sensory impairment by entirely cutting a direct train from Honor Oak, Forest Hill, Sydenham and ...

The Sydenham Society objected to the licensing application for the following reasons:

Re: Licence application for gambling……
100% agreed. I’m not averse to different businesses and things in the area that I don’t use/like if they contribute to the community etc. But in this case - it’s not providing much in the way of employment, gambling generally preys on those less fortunate and creates more social issues and being ...

Hey Andrew - This Thursday is the quiz (!) - the first Thursday of each month. The board game evening is now the THIRD Thursday of the month so the 15TH FEB!

Firstly it will be on the THIRD Thursday of each month - next one being Nov 16th!
Secondly although not up yet it’s due to be ...

Re: Ignition under new management
No problem. Forgot to mention they are also very much planning on extending closing time as last orders have always been pretty early for various reasons but this is being looked at with last orders more like 10/10:30 then 9:30ish.

Thought along my incessant twittering (sydenhamural) I would pop here to just say that:
BOBs wine/bottle shop has now sadly closed permanently- however the nearest specialist one is only 2 mins walk - Bottlecave on the high street.

Re: New board game night at Ignition
Well I’m glad I returned to post! Any questions fire away and I’ll be there from 5ish (!). Hopefully see you and anyone you fancy bringing on Thursday
Very doubtful you would need to book a table but if you are coming as a group of 4 let’s say might be worth emailing max@ignition.beer to book.
