Sydenham Town Forum

I heard today that the small newsagent opposite The Greyhound was robbed at around 5 pm yesterday. A guy (black with a beard and wearing a hood with a baseball cap underneath it), who claimed to have a knife, grabbed money from the till and ran off. Yes, this is true, the owner told me this morning...

Sydenham Road is apparently closed again this morning between Newlands Park and Mayow Road due to a crash. https://www.mylondon.news/news/south-london-newshttps://www.mylondon.news/news/south-london-news/sydenham-traffic-live-sydenham-road-16886703?fbclid=IwAR0LKt46S-S-_faZJgGLH6fkv8OsJIFR0fsrOQwwi1...

Yup.

Also, replying to posts is fine, but quoting posts causes an error page.

Many news sites saying the same, that it was the shooter that killed himself accidentally.,

As at 23:33 yes.

Any idea on what it is going to be? According to another nearby reatiler, it was going to be some kind of poundshop, but I was told that some time ago. The owner has been in my flat a few times with some builders to repair the flat roof outside my bedroom window which was cauing leaks into the shop...

Changes are afoot... at least the eyesore is being sorted out...

What's wrong with just wishing Mad Dough well? It's hard enough setting up a business as it is without creating unfounded anxiety.

Agree Troll comment very unjustified/unfair. I was finding that debate somewhat interesting up until that point, albeit slightly off topic as it goes to demonstrate how complex these affairs can be. Back on topic and my opinion (of which I do not invite or need comment - it’s already clearly unders...

If he caused the injuries himself, we are all better off without idiots like this on the road. "IF" being the key word. We don't know the facts. Whislt I have also seen motor bikes zooming down the street blowing their horn to get people out of the way, we don't know if this guy was one of those pe...

https://newsfromcrystalpalace.wordpress.com/2019/06/26/westwood-hill-motorcyclist-injured-buses-re-routed/ Police were called by the London Ambulance Service at around 06:00hrs today (Wednesday, 26 June) to reports of a male injured on Westwood Hill, Sydenham. The male, believed to be in his teens,...

There was also a un-marked police car with a senior looking person that arrived around 07:35am so it would appear to be a very serious incident or one that involved a police vehicle requiring a full incident response.

Must have happened around 7am

Its been quiet for a few days now since I saw them up a ladder in the siren box. Though I suspect they did not want to pay for the alarm company to fix it is because of some signs that went up today saying it is closed until 31st May when it opens under new management as "Ocean Fish Bar" where on op...

A colleague of mine in North West London was telling me that his hedges are infested with them too.

They are spreading... they are everywhere...

And again now at 01:20

Make that 6 times today.... 00:30hrs

The alarm that went off today twice was the Sainsbury’s alarm because I went in and told them and they turned it off...

Five times today, and it is the fish & chip shop, I have been over to it and it is their siren sounding, but they are closed so no one to shut it off.

I’m fairly certain that the alarm actually going off was above the ATM for Sainsbury’s. If you go in and tell them, they switch it off. It is obviously faulty but they will turn it off once made aware. No, it's not, I know that one as it has gone off before and the staff at Sainsbury always sort it...

Sydenham is well situated for transport as others have mentioned even though it takes 60% longer to reach London Bridge than it did when I moved here 32 years ago. 32 years ago there were less commuters and less trains on the tracks... of course it won't be as quick... 60% is an over-exaggaration t...
