45 minutes!! Wow ok, thank you for the info, I will definitely use the 6 now. Oh another resource I've found quite handy is actually the Rightmove website. If you find something for sale/rent in your road or very close by and select the "School Checker", you have yourself a handy chart of ...

There's a handy website here, which shows you your nearest schools and "Straight line distance offered" from that school over previous years, and then the straight line distance from your road to each school. http://www.schoolcatchment.co.uk/ Monkeyarms, your comment about schools not know...

I've got to agree that an empty shop would be preferable. The sign alone will make innocent passers-by want to remove their eyeballs

New sign going up at the shop opposite The Woodman/Wooster & Stock today- "Cash Brothers Consortium". I hope I'm wrong, but it looks like a Money Lender place.

They had me at "great coffee and wine"! Really looking forward to seeing what they have planned.

I came here to post about this too. Looks really exciting! I love the giant antique teddy in the window. Love the idea of Kirkdale becoming a hive of little curio and antique shops like this. The costume hire shop, Behind The Boxes, now the antique toy shop- it's rare to find little places like this...

Oh no this is awful news. Such a lovely looking shop, we'd be so sad to see it go

Wow, I absolutely love this. I think the colour is gorgeous too- classic. These What Ifs are amazing Lee, it's really exciting seeing them

Survey done. Please also add my voice to the chorus of approval!

Fantastic stuff - thanks so much for the suggestions. I shall check them out

Hi All, I'm pretty new to the area and was wondering if anyone could suggest any venues for a 1st birthday party. I'm not looking for a giant ball pit and juggling clowns, just a hall or nice pub venue for 20 or so adults and a couple of very small tots. Any recommendations would be most appreciated!

This was in The Guardian last weekend:

Not strictly Sydenham of course but a couple of comments about our 'hood

You're both right, I know.

Anyway sorry to derail the thread- really hope the police can make progress with this.

It's extremely worrying. We have recently brought a place in Sydenham and are moving to the area soon with our young son. Of course, these sorts of horrible things can happen anywhere but I can't help but worry about our decision now
