Sydenham Town Forum

Hi there We live in a ground floor flat, share of freehold converted from a large Victorian mansion style house. Not in a conservation area. There is a single garden door off the living room leading to our garden at the side of the building. The door is old and wooden and needs to be replaced. Tryin...

This lady would need to consent or be assessed as mentally incapable of you wanted to act in any way against her will. Ultimately if she is at risk of harm you would call 999 as an emergency service and only police have the power to compel people to do something without their consent In terms of sup...

We've had it drop out recently for a few minutes or so
Thought it was related to a new router as don't remember having these issues before last month

We have lived in Sydenham in a block of flats the other side of Wells Park estate for over 10 years. Never had any problems with crime,, including car crime. And because social housing is so scarce most of our neighbours have lived here for 20 years. The TNG youth club will sometimes attract young p...

you're better off checking the east dulwich forum for recommendations

Thanks for this Am I right in thinking there will be 2 separate restaurants if agreed? One in the old wedding shop and one in the CAB I had just assumed the Nandos was going to take up both spaces. I for one am excited by the re-use of an empty shop although saddened by the loss of a CAB - when they...

They're in a shop a couple of doors before the new flats Zanara Court, i think the shop is used for something else as i saw lots of kids inside when i walked past today

We had this a couple of years ago on our mazda bongo, parked in the car park behind our block of flats. It was just the glass on one side so figured it was stolen to order

Welcome to Sydenham, looking forward to opening

I vaguely remember a comedy night in crystal palace and went to a few nights at the Hub in forest hill.

From my limited knowledge there seems to be a lot of comedians based in south London so can't wait to see newer comedians and acts

Stopped in Journeys Cafe on Saturday I really liked it, had a coffee and freshly made sandwich. Other half had a coffee and cake. I'll definitely go back, especially as the coffee is not that flowery stuff you get everywhere else. The bread in the sandwich was also yummy. The cake was nice, my partn...

I find Dartmouth road garage to always be excellent, there always busy with work but are friendly guys

Hi all, Last night I was awoken by the sound of - what I believe was a police helicopter with a spot light flying around the top end of westwood hill/high level drive area at about midnight This evening I have also noted a helicopter circling the same area from about 7pm - 8.30pm. Wondered if anyone...

The criminal fraternity may well carry guns and knives - however I don't believe the majority of gun or knife crime is carried out on passers by (although I apologise if I'm wrong) From the news reports I've read and seen it seems the individuals most at risk of being stabbed or shot and the victims...

I was just wondering if there was one in the Sydenham vicinity? If not how many people would be interested? The idea could be something along the lines of having a new topic every week, fortnight, month? and go out and take photographs and then meet up on a regular basis (possibly at a local drinkin...

Sometimes it's just luck - because you can't control who lives next door - has she not been allowed to go for a viewing - she might get a better idea if she can ask the neighbours.

Recently had a slice of the chocolate tart from the new bakery - which was quite large and very yummy. Today we tried some rye bread - which was very light and great with bacon this morning. Apparently they only just opened last week so I think they are still testing the waters - apparently they are...

Sorry to be pedantic but Gurhka's is more Nepalese than Indian - although I agree that it is very good.

There is a sister restaurant in Crystal Palace which is also good but the menu has less choice.
