Sydenham Town Forum

You don't say whether you're male or female but Sydenham has a very good Ladies Only gym called 'Gymophobics' opposite Sydenham Station. A lot of women join specifically to lose weight as they check your weight and measurements as well as blood pressure as often as you like. So you can build it into...

Can someone please email Andrew Saint re the 'pensioners' reference'. We were sober, having not yet reached the Woodman, but I take exception to the assumption that all of us who were standing in the garden benefit from free public transport, reduced admission to cinemas etc etc

this is an off-shoot, or branch, depending on which way you view it [actually I think it's the trunk- with plenty of roots attached] of Sydenham Guerilla Gardeners also know as SGG- not to be confused with Sydenham Gardening.

This happened to me last year and I think we posted a warning on the site not to leave keys in hallways. My car turned up 100 miles away part of a securicor armed robbery which was recently front page news in the nationals when the gang went to trial.

Monday night 8pm at the Dolphin is fine for me. I'll bring a bit of lavender from my garden so people will find our table otherwise we might be in the embarrassing situation of having to ask everyone who comes into the Dolphin if they are guerrilla gardeners as I'm assuming we won't necessily be abl...

I have plenty of paint I could donate to East2West so that they could finish painting over the old photographer's sign

I also suggested the idea on Thursday evening and would be very happy to help. Some of my neighbours in Tannsfeld seem keen too. The dumping ground by at the back of Carzone is just waiting for some TLC [must remember to email the council to collect yet another mattress that's just been dumped there...

Funny you should mention 'guerilla gardening'. I read an article about it in the paper last week and I thought - that's just what we need in Tannsfeld Road at the back of Somerfield [soon to be Co-op?'] and on the opposite side where one lone rose bush is fighting a losing battle with weeds. Anyone ...

I've used Dartmouth Road for many years too and have always been very happy with the service. They do get pretty booked up early September as I discovered last year, I suppose because of 'change of reg' time

Thanks for info

just sent email

Will dig my copy out of the recycling bin and check it out!

Does anyone know what's happening to the access road at the back of Somerfield? The wall on the access road is being systematically demolished and put into skips. i wondered whether a pavement was going to be put there or could there be some greenery planted.... one can always live in hope. My conce...

how do we email you?

Hi Jay
Just contacted my son who lives locally too and is very keen on pool. He said you can email him - he plays for [his words] a top team in Croydon and lewisham and would give you a try! His email [work] is s.aldridge at fairlawn.lewisham.sch.uk

Like Poppy I feel quite disillusioned with Lewisham and the token attempts at democracy. I too couldn't make the meeting and I suspect a lot of keen people who are willing to be involved will give up because they already lead busy lives and will not continue to waste time discussing 'issues' and mak...

I for one would welcome a clothes shop selling reasonably priced casual wear [such as Adini] aimed at women over the age of 30. Another brand is 'IN-TOWN' which I gather is Danish. I've seen their clothes is a lot of small shops in market towns outside London. They tend to be quite casual but are we...

Anyone who wishes that the Greyhound had been demolished should check out a multi-coloured block of flats stuck in the middle of 1920s and 1930s housing at the corner of Lower Addiscombe Road and Blackhorse lane in Croydon [past Tesco- Elmer's End if you're driving]. There used to be a lovely pub on...

Has anyone else had the menu for the new "family Cafe" in Newlands Park Road. Along with the chips which you can have with everything I was amazed to see corned beef- salad or sandwiches. I didn't think corned beef existed any more apart from in the larders of people who are still stock-pi...

I was also underwhelmed by the lack of substance and imagination in the expensively produced document. I'm also puzzled as to why they want our views. Isn't that the reason many of us walked up and down the High Street with our suggestions? The only major change seems to be a couple of trees and pav...

I'm not cyclist but I drive along Whitefoot Lane towards Downham each day and I'm fascinated by the new barriers which have been installed to slow the traffic but are just too narrow for cyclists. The road has been changed from a dual carriageway to single lane traffic so I don't understand why a cy...
