Yes there is a CIU club up behind the old man of kent pub on Sydenham road.

Glad to report that due to the huge success of the jazz night on the 4th December which was very well supported another Jazz night is planned for Tuesday 29th January 2008. I will post further info as I get it.

Godards the family that ran the pie and mash shop in Greenwhich still have a shop in Deptford High street which is also very good. Spent many a day browsing Deptford market with pie and mash to refuel.

Hi Pondlife, Dont get too carried away. Cinders is a really nice bloke.

Have enjoyed reading the posts on the Golden lion. I can assure you all including those with hypersensitive noses and those my god who are so worried that they only ever look through the window that the bar is not being ripped out. The public bar is closed for a week for a simple redec, new carpet, ...

Hi Pondlife. Ive seen a few posters dotted around regarding this Jazz night. I do believe its modern Jazz rather than Trad am I right? If so, you can count me in. Wow, Sydenhams coming up in the world. I have been to the Golden Lion a few times since moving from North Snodland and have always found ...

popped in to Semas today for the umpteenth time over the years and yes they have certainly made me feel welcome whenever Ive called in.
Clean, friendly, good food at a very reasonable price and always good service.

Hi Poppy,
Garammassalla is opposite the kwikfit on Sydenham Road.
Looking at the menu they serve Quite a wide selection including Pathia, Nawabi and Dhakeswari. The latter being served with fresh mangoes.

Hi Gaz,
I am not actually involved myself but I picked up a flyer and thought S.T would be a good place to post. You could try by contacting:
Peter Aleksin on 0208 8775 5050 I am sure he will be able to give you the info you need.

Friends of mine ( both curry nuts ) paid a visit to the newly refurbished Garamassala on Sydenham road on monday night and were very impressed with the food Quality which they both said was superb. As a guide to the prices, the Chicken Madras is £ 4.40 and its worth remembering that for the next thr...

The Babur is on the left opposite the Chandos pub on Brockley Road.
One of my favourites and been there many times. I agree that the Elachi takes some beating.

Hi Falkor, I myself am a curry addict and have even had cookery lessons in Southern India which were a bit too much to take in in such a short time. Try taking a look at ( www.curryhouse.co.uk ) They have some very authentic curry house style recipes including Dansak which I have tried out and I mus...

The Rutland closed a little while back.

Anyone just see the BBC London News report ( 1.00pm ) about the closure of the Greyhound. I should imagine it will be repeated tonight at
6.00 - 6.30 ish.

The Coff Inn, would be dead good. coffee to die for. served at the tablet.
Come on Clive, spill the beans the suspense is killing me.

I must say there have been times when I have waited at the bar for what seems ages as the bar staff walk to and fro with what appear to be more important chores on their mind. Once engaged most, not all, are friendly enough although it is quite clear their general lack of experience when it comes to...

Last thursday a friend of mine was viciously attacked outside Woodbury house on Wells Park Road at about 11.45pm. He was punched to the ground in what appears to be an attempted robbery. The assailant ran off empty handed when passengers of a passing car stopped to intervene. My friend was left with...

I have been told by the chaps fitting the new shop front that it will be computer sales and servicing hence the high security grill.

Hi All, Yes it was I who previously got the wheel trims pinched.
The trims were located and the culprit nicked and fined accordingly. He also recieved a suspended sentence so I would like to think he's not daft enough to try again.
But thanks for asking.
