If the info on the petition site is true it appears essentially: 1. The trees don’t need to be felled for the works to be done 2. The trees aren’t the cause of the damage to the bridge/works that need to be done and therefore again don’t need to be removed as a necessity Obviously there will be incr...

Here is the petition for anyone interested in signing:

For some reason the link doesn’t work so here is the correct link as per the website (rather than info on the flyer): https://www.clublolaldn.com/naija

Popped into Ignition this eve and on top of the scotch eggs and brownies produced by Club Naija I noticed information regarding a Sunday dinner club that is kicking off this week I believe. Details copied from the flyer below: Club Naija: Modern Nigerian food and supper clubs Experience the colours,...

Just going back a little I noticed an application on the large empty double unit opposite puregym from July. The application is for a change of use from retail to restaurant. Any ideas if there is something being planned or more the owner is changing use in the hope someone will take it on as a rest...

Maybe I’m missing something but it feels as if the library doesn’t have the most prominent social media presence so thought I’d big up the work by the volunteers and the events that take place. PLEASE BE AWARE the following are all copied off the website and I’m not entirely sure how up to date it i...

As the title says - anyone used Sydenham Autos on Newlands Park? (Prob just about closest one for us) Any recommendations nearby would be great.

Cheers.

Not making a comment on BPP / Funding etc. But just thought I’d mention that it appears as if the map has some sort of glitch so hopefully the info you are looking at/talking about is correct for what you want to say rather than deprivations scales being inaccurate! The bit I’m looking at in particu...

All I think is that it’s pretty despicable behaviour on all accounts and I find it highly highly suspicious that 1. CB gets caught out lying directly to members of the forum 2. Is caught making up a fake account to use to his own benefit, something he has been repeatedly accused of in the past. 3. T...

It’s pretty much the polar opposite of what was rumoured to happen - a laser quest / escape room! I’ve always maintained that as long as a place has plans for something new or different to what’s currently on offer (although a few of the same type of thing can be good for variety and competition) an...

Hopefully it’s okay to bump this up- Just a reminder that cherry and ice have recently started up a weekly art club on Thursdays 7-9 and am sure they would appreciate people giving it a whirl (whilst enjoying their refurb and delicious drinks) and people spreading the word.

The art gallery at the back (and the secret garden that I didn’t know existed until last week!) is all set-up and the first events since the refurb are: Cherry and Ice Art Club (drawing and painting) - 7pm to 9pm every Thursday. “Live models, tutorials, themed nights and more”. “Refreshments and mat...

The blurb for Pride is below but the other two were mentioned to me informally by bar staff as I was leaving yesterday - can’t find anything online afraid On Friday 5th July, Ignition welcomes LGBTQI+ people and their Allies to our pre-Pride party! DJ, raffle, rainbows and team Ignition! The perfect...

If I’ve got this right these are the things happening next week (week starting July 1st): Thursday 4th July: Independence Day whiskey tasting - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/independents-day-american-whiskey-tasting-tickets-61885585452 Friday 5th July: Pre-pride party with dj’s and a whole host of fu...

Sorry my bad - this Thursday (27th June) !!

Just thought I’d just flag up that Alexandra Nurseries in Penge (parish lane, opposite The Alexandra pub) are doing another beer and burger afternoon/evening as supplied by the local Southey Brewery.

Beer, burgers, the cafe and shop are all open until 9pm.

I think initially both “more yoga” and “dragonfly yoga” were looking at/hoping to open in Sydenham and you are right, the corner site with the old ladbrokes/current short-term (?) St.Christophers was a site one had in mind. Due to a number of things this didn’t get sorted in time and St.Christophers...

Looks absolutely brilliant in here - all refurbed and the back is planning to be an artists space.

Woohoo. Will be heading there this morning then to show some love!

This is copied from another forum for others interest: At one of the earlier meetups of this forum X and I had a discussion regarding disability access and facilities in the area,during the course of which she said she knew someone who is knowledgeable about such matters and went round visiting vari...
