Sydenham Town Forum

Any appetite for another one of these? Golden Lion? Dolphin?

gone but not forgotten eh?

Remembered fondly, or was it more a case of notoriety lol

Browsing around the Forum today I noticed a reference to a Thorpes Residents AGM.

Would such an event be open solely to residents of the six "Thorpes", or would residents of nearby surrounding roads (e.g. Mayow Road, Silverdale, Sydenham Road) be welcome as well?

You are quite right, new friends or old, just as good :) I used to be quite active on here three or four years ago, but I kinda took an enforced break..... nothing to do with anyone here, more to do about what I was saying, and who else was seeing it lol That all sounds very mysterious and controver...

I wonder if any of my old friends froim this very site are still here?!

Its about time I came back!

A London Overground station, such as Sydenham, is fine to start the top-up for the first time. After that the auto-top will work on buses. Clearly time for me to log on to my online Oyster account :D you couldn't do it at Overground stations last time i looked! the vast majority of people will be f...

I would have thought that the people who are going to suffer as a result of the implementation of cashless buses are going to be occasional bus users who are not au fait with things like setting up auto-top-up on their Oyster cards - indeed they may not even have an Oyster card..... they are going t...

If you don’t have enough credit on your Oyster card to pay the £1.45 fare or your Bus & Tram Pass or Travelcard has just expired, you can now make one more journey on a bus. Won't that address the issue? Wherever there is a boundary, there will be individuals who want to push it. "Wow, I g...

Person hit by a train at East Croydon. No trains through the station. Expect disruption across Southern for much of the morning, if not beyond.

Alas, marymck, I will be working 0800-2000 next weekend, and, 0800-2000 when the next market is on opposite the front door!

Yes, here on this Town Hall section of this forum, Chris Best posted that the market would not be held in August and would return in September. Thanks marymck, I will look out for it next month, just in case events cause it to be cancelled again. Perhaps Admin will consider stickying it for a few d...

Welcome to the forum! I supoose, before you ask Sydenham to tell you about itself, you need to tell us about yourself! My recommendations of things to do and places to go in Sydenham would be coloured by my own tastes and interests.... for example.... seeing as I am an original couch potato with a f...

That's a shame. I was looking forward to celebrating the end of a week of dreaded night shifts with a slice of lemon almond cake. Is there a place online, in this forum or elsewhere, where we can go to for updates on when the market will be there and what is going to be there? (june, lovely gnocci, ...

I thought it was there the last Sunday of every month? Which was today?

Line blocked between New Cross Gate and Sydenham in both directions.

Expect delays to all Southern and LOROL services through Sydenham.

Also over-running engineering works through Balham, if you are heading that way. Lines closed there too at present.

Bad morning for Southern and LOROL is coming.

Completely agree with Rachael. I've just been down to the aforementioned chip shop. I was the only person in there that you might call tubby. Now I can cope with being called tubby, because, whether seen as unkind or not, it's a fact. What is also a fact is that 4 years ago I weighed 24 stone adn no...

....opening today, I hear, near Sydenham station?

Anyone heard or know anything?

While we are bigging up "On The Hoof", i am very pleased to see them opening earlier in the morning. Although their hours say 6-2, I am convinced an opening time of 5.45 will prove profitable..... they capture commuters on two London-bound trains and two Croydon-bound trains in those 15 mi...
