There was a power cut in the Silverdale Rd/Mayow Perk area of Sydenham around 10.30 pm Sunday night.
Only for ten minutes.
Which other areas were effected?
I must say, our house looked rather nice in candle light.
Got Mrs Reality Czech in the mood.
Must do it more often. ( candles that is ...

A nice cobbled area surrounding the pub with victorian style gas lantern lamp posts, delicatessen/cafe/gallery.Flower stalls, weekend farmers market. Would really bring a lift to the area me thinks.
Inside the pub, exposed brickwork, big rustic fire place, chandeliers, baroque furniture.Free ...

We played tennis in the park while watching sydenham burn.....
Had a freezing cold shower- not recommended.
Then prematurely ate all the contents of our freezer on a BBQ b4 the power came back on.
T'was fun.

If so, what was it all about?

Probably the best in this area.
Trust me, i'm Italian and picky about my pizzas!

Sydenham High Street is probably the worst looking run down "urban" high street in the whole area.
Gentrification has crept from Lordship to Honoar Oak,Forest Hill,Crystal Palace and Gypsy Hill but stops at SE26.
Let's be honest, the Christmas lights are chavtastic, the street furniture & rubbish ...

ADD - Cafe Nero,GBK,Wagamama,Waterstones,Organic Butchers,Fresh & Wild,Waitrose, great gastro/shabby chic pub.

EVICT - All pound shops/bits & bobs shops, cheap "clothes" shops, fried chicken shops & mini "super" markets,Chav pubs.

THE SAD THING IS THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN........
So we're off to E ...
