Hello!

Hey Enza, I just wanted to voice my support for a fellow musician! I did not study music at music college but rather at University, Royal Holloway. I graduated in 2004, and have friends who are studying for Masters degrees at the RCM and the RAM who are having the same problems as you are in terms o...

Would anyone like an exersize partner?

Hello!!! OK, so it's a new year. And I have vowed to not only lose a few extra pounds, but to be healthier overall in terms of lifestyle. Easier said than done from a woman who's favourite foods are chocolate and coffee, and who eats five portions of fruit and vegetables a month, let alone a day! I ...

What a great idea!

A coffee shop on the HSBC Bank site is a brilliant idea for a number of selfish reasons: 1. I live on Venner Road and could get there in 2 seconds 2. I love my coffee (it's an addiction, I'm on 4 or 5 a day) and would love not to have to trudge into town to get a decent cuppa, and any excuse to get ...

Spooky house on Venner Road

Hello! Does anyone know the history, if there is one, of 88 Venner Road? It looks like some kind of 1940's New Orleans'y type of house. I can just imagine singing spirituals outside! My partner and I are scared of walking outside it late at night because it is always dark and looks spooky... Any ide...

Doctors

Hello, I was, until recently, a member of the Sydenham Road surgery (the one by the bridge). It's got terrible service so if I were you I'd go to Sydenham Green, which is where I am now. The doctors are great, and you are able to book up to 2 weeks in advance, and have emergency appointments. They a...

You're right...

Hello Everyone... I suppose I am being a little unreasonable. OK, maybe a lot unreasonable. It's just that I have never had the types of crimes that have happened recently in Sydenham on my doorstep before. I know that sounds incredibly naive!!! I have lived in the Borough all my life (now termed 'B...

Robbery at Sydenham Station last night...

Hello Everyone, I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but I found out that Sydenham Station was robbed at machete/gunpoint last night at 8pm, by 2 men, who then got away in a car. I found out on BBC London news, and to be honest it is worrying me. I regularly use the station but was not around last...

From an ex-Toni and Guy die hard fan, I can honestly say that The Outback is a fantastic hairdressers! I was given a card for a free haircut outside Sydenham station and I took up the offer. They were fantastic; friendly, attentive, and you get free tea, coffee, water, herbal tea, whatever. They mak...

Mid Syd?

Hello! Where do you count Venner Road as? It is still on the High Street, sort of, but far away from the Savacentre. And we are 2 mins down the road from the bookshop and the lovely houses of Kirkdale, Lawrie Park Gardens etc, and not far at all from Crystal Palace. Does that mean we are Upper? I al...

Yes to coffee shop!

I'd highly approve of a cafe/coffee shop in Sydenham, that's a great idea! There is nowhere on the street to pop in and socialise, unless you count the Wimpy or bumping into someone in the aisle in Sainsburys. Why can Lordship Lane have one and not us? It doesn't even have to be a high street coffee...

I moved to Sydenham not so long ago and I have a RUBBISH doctor. I'm at the one on Sydenham Road and my Doctor always tells me that all my problems are down to allergies or not enough excersize. This was even when I asked for a second opinion and I was told at last that I had IBS and was given medic...
