Sydenham Town Forum

Welcome to the forum, fj!

No idea about noises near Mayow Park I'm afraid though, perhaps someone living closer to there can shed some light..?

Well, it would make sense if they could extend the DLR to Catford. Can't really see the point otherwise as the Catford-Lewisham link is already very well serviced (unless as above the plan is to extend the Bakerloo along the Old Kent Road to Lewisham - would be handy if Lewisham was more directly co...

As it's close to the Naborhood Centre, how about:

Pint's off Debate

(To keep the apostrophe/grammar joke going )

A Bakerloo or Victoria extension?

Would be very good if it stopped at Forest Hill (or interchanged somewhere along the ELL) on the way to Catford.

A real shame though that the closest they come to a proper pint is John Smiths, but sadly, that seems to be a regular moan of mine in pubs these days. They used to have a couple of real ales on when it was first taken over. Have they decided to scrap these then or did you just get them on an off da...

To be fair to BBW it was never mentioned that politicians and media would be present before he aimed his broadside at the 'friendly face of Southern management' stall, who from what I have gathered have already excused themselves from any responsibility. One option would be for many of the (rushing)...

Scatology, I think...

Here's some interesting info and pictures (incl some puma poo):

Enjoy!

The new gates on the up platform have been installed now. There is one wide gate and one normal size gate.

Although they were left open this morning, I think they will be in operation very soon.

The petition is up to 665 signatures now, with lots of angry comments expressed. (ps - Admin: Your notes from the meeting seem to have confused New Cross Gate and New Cross: Para 7: Four trains will also be starting from New Cross Gate so... Para 16: One positive suggestion from the audience was for...

The FH Society has written of several concerns in their objection letter which I am surprised haven't been already covered in the developers' discussions with the planning dept. I must say though that I do actually like the proposals overall and I would like to see a new development there (and have ...

I'm a bit ambivalent about a new development there to be honest. Granted the existing buildings are slightly interesting in the way the 2nd storey is set back with a pitched roof; however, they are certainly not remarkable. I also think that by more people moving into this end of Kirkdale, it would ...

Dang! Looks like I'll have to get off at FH and walk back to Syd to get a decent fish supper then!

Note to any new would-be fried chicken shops - open a decent chippy instead!

I'm afraid I've never been to Penge High St. I've always looked towards FH, Catford and Lewisham for my shopping trips rather than head south (to Penge and Beckenham, which I've also heard good things about).

There's a chippy along Kirkdale. Not as good as the two in Forest Hill and the two in Honor Oak though...

Is there a decent chippy along Syd High Street?

what did you have for dinner in the end? Something yummy and local? We went to Puerto Mexico. It was nice food and good service and all of us (including 4 non-Sydenhamites) enjoyed it in there. Only shame was that we only had limited time to eat and enjoy it - it's a lot better in there in the even...

Mr P and I went last night and thought it was very funny. I don't know what some of the harsh critics on here were expecting, it was a farce, so rather silly, but we like that sort of thing. Some of the acting was very good too, especially Dr Watson and the woman playing the multitude of different ...

I'm just hoping that it's good weather this evening.

(Oh and that my tickets are safely at the Dolphin waiting for me to pick them up!).

Hi Glad to see that the 2ph to E Croydon will remain - although like the majority on here, I'm very disappointed that we may lose our Waterloo/Charing X direct trains. Quick question on the ELL though: Nasoroc's timetable above doesn't include Shadwell station? Is that just an omission or will the E...

Right, I've just booked 6 tickets for next Weds for me and some non-Sydenhamites. Thankfully (I think!) I didn't read some of the reviews on here first! Hopefully by now any teething problems are resolved so am looking forward to it. 2 questions though... What happens if it rains? Does the show go o...

Thanks for that link BladeRunner – I didn’t know that information was available online. Shocked by Gurkha’s score I had a little browse. It’s an interesting selection of businesses including schools and supermarkets. On a fairly random selection, here’s a taste (excuse me) of who’s got what: 0 star...
