To answer nork1 directly I had simply never heard of it and given I only ever go to that part of Sydenham for the Doctors there was no chance to 'happen' upon it. If there was talk of it on the STF I missed it. It's a shame but it does highlight how important it is to advertise yourself - especially...

I agree with whispy wonder. This is typical of Lewisham council's planning department. Cram as many dwellings into a structure that is so unsympathetic to it's surroundings. Once this has been built it will open the floodgates to other sites in the vicinity, namely junction of Tredown road and Newl...

I'm sorry Wispy Wonder, I'd love to concur with your views but I simply cannot. Just so you know, I am the biggest architectural snob you're ever likely to meet. If it isn't Georgian, Victorian or Edwardian then I am not interested. I abhor most of the 20th Century's stock. That is not to say they a...

I am still not sure if your elderly acquaintances are exctracting the proverbial Eagle or are so far removed from reality it's unreal. NOW - I can see how they view the unceasing march and encroachment of the automobile as an irritant. I'm sure they remember fondly when cars where rare and something...

You are right in your examples there bensonby but as with any argument you choose specific examples to lend credence to your argument. Nothing wrong with that. I cannot comment on the establishments in and around Home Park as I am rarely, if ever, there. But if we look at the High St that chicken sh...

Perhaps the ladies in question could just grow their hedges up higher than 5 or 6ft thus removing the 'distressing' view? Assuming this wouldn't block out natural light. Failing that they could just dip their net curtains in tea, smoke incessantly, have bread 'n' dripping for supper, turn the wirele...

I am sorry but I think the previous posters are misguided. As Sydenham resident, I think the plans to close Queensthorpe Road and narrow Sydenham road and the other so called improvements will just make acess more difficult for the Police,Emergency services and residents. This so call improvement i...

Sydenham on Watchdog, Thursday 22nd October, BBC1
I am not sure if any sharp-eyed members of the forum noticed but Sydders was on Watchdog yesterday evening. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00nfsjf/Watchdog_22_10_2009/ I know this as they actually filmed outside my home and, briefly, from inside it. Now for the context. The 'Rogue Trader' in ...

Aaah. You had me all excited about a lost Sydenham Town Hall budwesier. As it turns out you meant the Wesley Hall Methodist Church which is where you described. It seems to be in fairly good nick and is no longer boarded up. I don't know if it gets used. Every time I walk past the place I think of t...

I'm sorry to hear that Eagle. I really am. I don't know if it's the same people as now but a few weeks/months ago they were playing the most beautiful cover of 'This Womans Work' by Kate Bush. The lady I asked didn't know who it was but it was...haunting. Almost as good as the original. Of late the ...

I must admit the last time I went in 'Sugahill' it was trading as Zucker. Tells you how long ago that was. I much preferred the previous name - especially as it is German for sugar. :wink: I like Kente, a lot. I've been in many times and it's mercifully getting busier. No doubt the removal of the ro...
