Sydenham Town Forum

I'll be there...

I had to travel through Forest Hill yesterday as I picked up a parcel at the sorting office... they have just closed the barriers there too...

My friends who have just moved to Sydenham after living there for two years told me this. I can't confirm if it is true, it is just what they told me. I was asking if anyone knew about this, that's all! sorry- re-reading that I sounded a little harsh. There isn't a private police force in Dulwich.

Trendy puubs just translate to inflated prices. With an economic downturn prices are more important than ever...

Also there aren't enough decent pubs in sydenham - the range of beer available is atrocious. I have to go into town if I want a pint of mild


Sorry - I'm a bit of a beer brat.

Apparently Dulwich Village has its own police force, which includes many plain clothes police who basically stop anyone who looks out of place in the area. I didn't really want to comment on this topic; even if there has been a notable rise in the number of thefts in the area then it does little go...

dingy pubs and real ale please!

eugh - no trendiness please....

Its this saturday - 12th of July from 12PM-7PM at Mountsfield Park...


Is anyone going? Has anyone been before?

Golden city is alright....onyl chinese restaurant within walking distance and its been around for over 20 years so it must be doing something right.


I wouldn't rave about it though...

I have to say that this story surprises me. I use this shop in Penge East frequently and have always found them to be friendly and responsible shop keepers. I don't know the story and the facts of this situation as I wasn't present but if true it is out of character for them in my experiences. I'm ...

You have a spiritual spring in your step....

I reckon you'd have an argument with an ignorant train employee....but I reckon I'll just ignore them and walk papst them as I would be acting within the law.

Condition of carriage 13: "you may travel between the stations shown on the ticket you hold in: (i) a through train" And the following sub-section says "(ii) trains which take the shortest route which can be used by scheduled passenger services" ie the LB to LV service via Denma...

... if a ticket has two named stations on it then you can travel between those two stations by a reasonable route. (i.e. a "through train") ... But a 'reasonable route' from London Bridge to Victoria would be the service via Denmark Hill, which is in zone 2, hence the lower price. If you ...

Doesn't the ticket have to be valid for all zones the train travels through? When Crystal Palace station was in zone 4 you had to pay extra to go to Victoria. Now that CP is in both zones 3 and 4 you can travel to Victoria with a zones 1-3 travel card. yes, if you are travelling on a travelcard...b...

Can you try it and report back, please? I will do - but in september, as my ticket is currently valid until 29th August. I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work.... it would probably confuse the gate guards.....but seems perfectly legit to me. Providing you use those specific trains to cover yo...

Looking at it another way:

Annual Season ticket from Sydenham to LB = £704

Annual Season ticket from LB to LV = £520

Annual saving = £186

After a couple of posts in the Oystergate scandal thread got me thinking I believe I found found a (perfectly legal) way to knock 25% off the cost of your season ticket. Lowering the price of the Sydenham - London Bridge monthly down to £50 rather than £67. Read on... Condition of Carriage number 16...
