The Grove Centre is in Sydenham Ward and so is Sydenham Library - they are in the same cachment area. It's probably gonna be held there because it's one of the larger and better equipped community centres in the ward?

I've heard from Lewisham Council that there will be a public meeting to discuss Sydenham Library on Thursday 19 August at 7 pm at the Grove Centre, Jews Walk.

They get called different things in different regions and have different customs in different places. In some places you get a small bite free with your drinks,...

Ever wondered about number 88 Venner Road? Hey, maybe it's officially Penge, but it's almost Sydenham.

Here's a chance to have a look inside - £7 or £5 concessions http://www.enterthehome.com/
