Sydenham Town Forum

Changes such as this were urged on councils by TFL as an emergency measure as part of the Covid-19 crisis response - see the original post for more information. There was no time for any consultation. There will be time later on, and we'll have the chance to give our views then.

El Cid, these deaths cover 1 March-17 April.

Robin, I can only find 2 care homes in the Sydenham ward - are there more?

Wow so again I wonder why this area has the highest death rate in Lewisham?

According to the latest ONS figures, which are: Lewisham Evelyn: 15 New Cross: 13 Brockley: 5 Telegraph Hill: 4 Blackheath: 4 Ladywell: 10 Lewisham Central: 13 Lee Green: 6 Crofton Park: 7 Rushy Green: 12 Catford South: 9 Grove Park: 7 Perry Vale: 8 Whitefoot: 8 Forest Hill: 5 Bellingham: 9 Sydenham...

It's strange that the original shop in Penge doesn't seem to attract the same comment/criticism. I wonder why?

Angela, that's an interesting view. According to Wikipedia: the human race sent representatives to a conference held in Montreal in 1987 which agreed the Montreal Protocol, an international treaty designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production of numerous substances that are respo...

Where is this?

Obviously, the book group won't be able to meet for some time - certainly not in late March.
I'll post on here when we know a meeting will again be possible.
Stay safe!

Growsydenham said "I am disappointed by the negative and unbalanced tone of the Sydenham Society email bulletin today re the proposed new council homes at Mais House. "Visible from miles away"; "change the character of Sydenham Hill forever"; "immense pressure on local infrastructure"; "residents w...

Four of us gathered in the Golden Lion to discuss The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead. We had quite a long and very lively discussion about this book. It was quickly established that the author's account of the escape of slaves in the years before the start of the Civil War (which began in ...

Sorry four of you were unable to attend tonight. Liz, Stuart and I were there to discuss Milkman by Anna Burns . Thanks to Sue for sending her review which was I probably wouldn't have read it if it hadn't been chosen for the group as it had so many negative reviews. I enjoyed it and wanted to finis...

Well thank you very much! I live in Bromley Borough.

That's a rather un Robin Orton sort of comment.

Hi Marmo,
Yes we have vacancies!
I'll send you a Private Message in the next few minutes.

I think the bookshop has its own book group in fact.
But yes join us if you'd like to!

we look forward to welcoming you, Alice!

Hi Alice,
Yes, definitely! Our next meeting is Wednesday 27th November at about 7.30/8.0 in the Golden Lion. We're reading Exit West by Mohsin Hamid. It's available in libraries and on Amazon second hand for not very much.
Will you be able to make that date?
Mike

My advice would be to replace with the sash windows. We had 60s style double-glazed in our Victorian property, which were useless in hot weather. Then a few years ago we replaced them with double-glazed wooden sash windows, which make the house look MUCH better. Even better, they've enabled us to co...

<r>Here's the website address <URL url="www.addresspollution.org"><s>[url]</s>www.addresspollution.org<e>[/url]</e></URL> - see how polluted your home is - plus you can send an email to Lewisham (or Bromley) about your concerns through the website. Plus it gives you a link to share on social media.<...

Bromley??? But this is on Mayow Road, a couple of km from the Bromley border!!

I'm not sure why no one has replied to your query, but have a look at this website which shows the location of primaries on a map (you can zero in on Sydenham) and where their catchments have extended to in recent years. Adamsrill and St Bart's seem to cover your area. https://www.locrating.com/scho...
