Re: Lewisham planning 400 flats for Sydenham Road

Hi Dartmouth Road/Willow Way I think you'll find that's part of a really old report that was prepared as an exercise by Kingston University students, under their tutor architect Andrew Budd who used to live in Sydenham. It was a student exercise but presented to Lewisham, oh it must be about 10 year...

Lost photographs

Posted by someone on another forum ...

"On Sunday 1st Dec, I lost a bag of about 30 (mostly black and white) old family photos in the Dartmouth Rd area. They were in an airport security see through plastic bag. They are precious to me. Thanks"

This is so sad. Please be on the look out.

Re: PX56 GFV Car Thieves' registration number

Sorry to hear about your daughter's car, Stuart. Mine is an 06 Jazz. Three years ago, during my first and last ever Hellfords service they told me that my catalytic converter had "reached the end of its natural lifespan" as "they only last a few years" and it needed replacing, al...

PX56 GFV Car Thieves' registration number

Have just (1.10 pm today Mon 7th Oct) caught catalytic converter thieves in the act of jacking up my car, which had been parked in Hassocks Close. We caught them and the drove off but have broken the catalytic converter and done God knows what other damage. The little shits were driving a pale blue ...

Re: Best Breakfast in Sydenham

Café Jasmine on Kirkdale. An unsung hero. Unpretentious. Great value (you can get a decent breakfast for less than the price of a cup of designer coffee in some establishments). Great food and drink. Very, genuinely friendly. Menu here ... https://www.google.com/maps/uv?hl=en&pb=!1s0x487603d80b8...

Re: Redevelopment of Mais House, Sydenham Hill

Mais House sits within Forest Hill electoral ward, although this is for politics only. There is no GP surgery within Forest Hill electoral ward. The 2011 census gave a figure of 14,854 people living within the Forest Hill electoral ward. I imagine most people from the new development will try to sig...

Re: Urgent warning: plant thieves in the area

That seemed strange wording to me too JGD. I don't understand what was meant by it. I did email the Chair of LNHS who has replied that he's asked the meeting organizer to investigate. I did get my primroses back. But only because my husband happened to be standing at an upstairs window and saw them ...

Urgent warning: plant thieves in the area

I live on upper Kirkdale and have just caught someone digging up primroses from my front garden. She was with a group calling themselves the London Natural History Society and she was clutching a reference book on wild flowers. They were walking downhill from the direction of the woods. One of their...

According to the ownership declaration on the Planning Application, the All Inn One is still owned by the current landlords. Do you know otherwise? Yes. To the best of my knowledge a commercial contract arrangement is in place regarding the transaction of the sale of the business. It is to be assum...
