Sydenham Town Forum

I had sunday dinner there a couple weeks ago for the first time. I ordered two oxfordshire beef roasts and at over a tenner each you'd expect to be spot on. The beef was disgusting and everything else you could tell was microwaved. I won't be going back to eat or drink, as it was also full of chavs ...

Just before I blast (have a go at) a Virgin Media call worker, has anyone else experience problems with their Virgin cable/broadband. Mine has been up and down for the last month, before that it had been working fine for over a year. I live in the peak hill area.

I was travelling from sydenham today at 8:30 to Shadwell (zone 2-3 peak). The cost on a oystercard was 1.80, but if you look on the tfl website on the ELL fares page it will be 1.30 a saving of 50p per journey or 40% less. Has anyone else noticed this or is this a typo

for personal reasons, yes I have to move, but I do love living in Sydenham

Just want to hear peoples opinion on this subject, when the East London Line re-opens in a coplue of months do people think there will be a little rise in property prices?

Drove up the high street for the first time in months and was shocked to see Subway, but it's been bugging me, what shop did it replace?

I know this whinge is not original but getting out of Sydenham north bound is getting ridiculaous. Does anyone know how long the works on Kirkdale will go on for? And didn't someone dig up this area a few months back.

And also annoyingly there's minor works at lights on Dartmouth Road(at the forest ...

Whatever happened to Cafe Milano? It's disappeared

are you sure? just looked like a glorified bus shelter this morning, with no ticket barriers or machines.

I walked past there on the way home from work and have a sneaky suspicion that it will become an Afro-Carribean barbers, but again it's only my thoughts

I'm not feeling optimistic as to what it will become. The workmen there at the moment finished building what looked like a 'waiting' bench, one of those ones that you get at a barbers.

So I guess it may become a barbers, but that's just my guess.

Hi all
does anyone know what the shop next to the Greyhound will be? It's used to be called something like Hakan (sp?) and was open for about a week before it closed

I've had the same problem with the Tip site in New Cross, there's a youngish African bloke that runs it I think and everytime I go there to offload rubble sacks from renovating my house, he's always interogating and and turning me away, saying that I have to get this commerically disposed of.

So ...

but the side gate will be closed for 8 weeks i think from next week as they're installing ticket barriers there

given the choice, of an empty boarded up shop and a bookies, I'm afraid the bookies wins it!

you could just buy a satellite signal checker, they're about a fiver on ebay, just plug it into the F-connector and see it you get a good signal.

The dish should be ppointing to Astra28e which is the Sky satellite and so it you can borrow a sky box you can use that to test

was kind of expecting this, it's a nice big place but always empty.

So what happens now? We have an application and a group of objectors. Can this stop the development or do they need a certain amount of signatures?

I also agree with Ben, the greyhound has been derilect for too long something has to be done. The plans for it aren't that great but they're sufficient. If you look at high street as it is now, it's full of grotty pound shops and empty units, something has to be done to give the high street area a ...

I don't think Sydenham is overpoulated, judging from the high street on a saturday it's hardly bustling
