I can't imagine there are any places in London or any other big City that don't hold a danger for women out late at night on thier own. You just need to be careful and on your guard.

I would never decribe Sydenham as being gough though.

I've been here for 30 years.

It's such a shame all these pubs are closing down. Soon we'll not have any left. I guess the Bricklayers will be next. :?

Not all properties built as social housing are still social housing.
Don't forget lots of people bought thier council houses and then sold them on.

I was browsing the net for properties in Sydenham for a friend who's thinking of moving here. I think it was on 'Right Move' website.

Kirkdale is a good location. Close to the station and High Street. Also close to Forest Hill and just over the hill to Dulwich.

I love the idea of the old Chemist Machary's being turned into an old fashioned sweet shop.
The rent on that property is £15,000 per annum. wonder how much money you could make on sweets. something to think about !!

I agree Annabel

Mutlisync - your comments regarding Angie are extremley offensive and very impolite. Those coments are best left in the gutter where they belong.

So who went to the fireworks last night?

I have never been so disapointed.
Maybe it was the waiting around for an hour that spoiled the evening.

Maybe Sydenham should adopt the scheme that operates in parts of Holland. Where there are no road markings, lights, crossings, signs or even kerbs. Apparentley it forces traffic to drive a lot slower as they need to be more aware of pedestrians. The council in Kensington are trying to introduce it t...

I doubt that you'd be able to see the footage live anywhere. However you do have a legal right to have copies of any CCTV footage that you appear in. Therefore if you are walking along and spot a CCTV camera, you are able to ask for a copy of any footage that you appear in. Unfortunately you will on...

There was a cinema in Forest Hill, which is now another Witherspoons pub. The upstairs seating is still there, but not accessible to the public.

I was horrified to see flowers by the road side at the Palace Wines, Sydenham Station approach this morning. I assume this was in connection with the lady Sean referred to, that was killed on Friday evening. I cross the road there every day on my way to and from the station. Drivers and pedestrians ...

It's very sad Maureen, but unfortunately there is obviously less call for pubs these days. Not sure why, maybe the cheap bars that do lots of promations have led to the demise of some of our pubs. Off course there is also the yobish element that follows some groups that put people off going to pubs ...

I often get letters from various Estate Agents telling me someone is looking to buy a house just like mine and I should consider the agency for the sale.
If that's the case, why is there a house 2 doors away, excatly like mine which has been on the market for a few months now !!! :P
