Tim Lund

Tim is giving up the chair of Sydenham Society after two years. He says "I have decided not to put my name forward ... principally because I was not finding as much time for it as I would have wished ... you will ... have the opportunity to vote for [my successor] at our AGM, March 30th".

Welcome to Sydenham

Less than 200 years ago Sydenham was a sleepy hamlet in the Kent countryside. The building of the railway and Crystal Palace transformed Sydenham into a fashionable Victorian town for Londoners to visit. Inevitably both grew and merged to now make Sydenham an integral multi-ethnic part of South East London.

The FA Cup was played here, Colour TV was invented here, the first pneumatic railway ran through Sydenham and many famous & notorious people have made it their home. Read on, we hope you discover something interesting.
