Sydenham Town Forum

Joy to the world. On Christmas eve, the responsible Lewishambles officer told me that, due to COVID-19 striking the Archdiocese’s agent, the planning inquiry’s statement of common ground hadn’t been progressed. That means there has been no agreement on how to limit the scope of the inquiry, or to s...

Sydenham Panther aka The Beast of Sydenham. The following understated article from back when captures the mood perfectly- Fear stalks the streets of Sydenham.. especially like the reference to blossom filled streets! Very Midsummer Murders. https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2005/mar/23/patrickbarkham I...

Sydenhamites deserve a Harvey Nichols express or at the very least for Heston Blumenthal to open a Fat Duck style eatery. I have written to both extolling the virtues of London's most up and coming neighborhood and attached photos of Sydenham High St to give them an idea of just how dynamic the area...

If youngsters on e-scooters don't get you one of the marauding elderly thugs driving high powered mobility scooters will.

I, for one, hope the Harris Sydenham is not named after the now disgraced ex-Sydenhamonian Rolf!!! Scandalous if it is.

Not sure whether it counts towards the airborne traffic count but I've seen 3 helicopters in the last 2 days...

Sad news, it appears some bandits have vandalised the Meglasaorous: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-52789270
Lots of happy memories going to visit the dinasours both as a kid and with my own children. Hopefully they apprehend the perpetrators and make them pay for the damage.

Hi all, the lockdown worked so well some people think the pandemic is over. The traffic and people outside my home on Friday and yesterday was quite shocking and not one mask. It’s not the flu it’s more like airborne HIV and there is no guarantee of immunity as there are 3 distinct mutations. There...

Best of luck to this new business venture but can't help thinking they missed a trick, they should have offered Ni-ni-ni 19, 19, ni-19 19
19, 19, 19, 19 % of the bill until end of March..

Hey man there's no reason for normal folk and bikers to argue, can't we all just get along?

Hi all Does anyone know what is happening at Sydenham tyres? I saw a stack of a few hundred trees outside the shop when it was closed. How is that allowed it could kill someone if it collapsed. It’s outrageous!! Piles of trees! Maybe they're doing some sort of environmental offsetting, for every ty...

Sounds great and I would definitely go for a swim in the lake but only if Lewisham council has given it a healthy dose of urine-indicator dye.

Hello As part of the project to demolish the Bell Green gas holders we are currently in the process of cleaning the gas holder tanks. Cleaning these tanks can generate odours in and around the area, however although these odours can be unpleasant, they do not pose any risk to health or the environm...

The point of my "thin" evidence is that it was so bad 30yrs ago I upped and got out . From my regular reading of the moans groans and complaints on here, and the odd trip down Kirkdale and Sydenham road via google street to marvel at the variety of fastfood joints,closed pubs and shops, g...

before paying too much notice to anything that Milton says, I would click on their name and view previous posts. They belong in a shed along with the other tools... If Milton wanted to stay away from Sydenham so much then I would question why they insist on constantly coming here and posting tripe ...

Leave sooner, drive slower, live longer posters should be erected at both ends of Knighton Park Road to help reduce near misses.
Stay safe John H....

Stuart, excellent stuff, I've started using your link and also passed onto others. Probably the most informative post I've seen on this forum. Many thanks.

I hope both the Zigghy coffee shop and members of this forum will not be feeding trolls...

Admin, apologies tried to turn up to the meeting but went to the wrong venue, spent 2hours nursing halh a pint of Beck's in the Dolphin!!! If we are going down the annoymity route does anyone know how I change my login to Romeo T wildbeast?

We need pubs, kebab shops and knocking shops, not necessarily in that order.
Also more 24 hour opening times for kitchen appliance type outlets for the non male type people.
