This just shows that there's a market for a good lively cafe - and hopefully when the new Zuckers opens they too will benefit from all the people who can't get into the Blue Mountain. Re the earlier comments about the price of a cuppa - there's a plethora of other cafes in Sydenham which have cheape...

I've received this info from the Sydenham Society (apparently local schools have received flyers): Two events to celebrate Hallowe'en Sydenham Traders annual Children's Fancy Dress and Hallowe'en event in Sydenham Road. Starting from Kirkdale Bookshop at 4pm, the event continues throughout the high ...

I've just looked up the ABC nursery on the Ofsted site - just as Ruby says, the conclusions are pretty alarming! You can read the full report here - and to find any other Ofsted reports all you have to do is type the word Ofsted and the name of the establishment into your search engine: http://tinyu...

The Sydenham Dance Centre has classes at Champion Hall - this is its website: http://www.sydenhamdancentre.co.uk/index.php It is the successor of a famous Sydenham institution - Jimmy Small's Dance Centre - which was in Station Approach for many years. Even if they don't have classes for children, I...

New bar for Sydenham?
It looks like something is finally happening on the site between the DIY shop and the railway line - where there are currently two empty shops (formerly Jan's hairdresers and a dry cleaners - 278-280 Kirkdale). The site has been bought by the owners of Jam Circus in Brockley Road and they are applyi...

According to this website (link below) the Dulwich Farmers Market is on the 4th Sunday of every month. The site looks somewhat out of date though - it is still listing the Forest Hill Farmers Market which I don't think has taken place for a couple of years. Incidentally, Home Park butchers (virtuall...

We've been asked for examples of where an A3 development with associated housing has produced fast food outlets and take aways. Frankly, south London is littered with so many instances of this happening that I won't bore you with too many lists. Just keep your eyes open next time you walk down pract...

Organic butcher
Just discovered a butcher who sells organic chicken, beef and lamb - at 341 Sydenham Road (diagonally opposite the library, between Champion Road and Kirtley Road). They are called Home Park Butchers and one of them is Hugh Boston who was one of the partners in Bostons on Perry Hill (now closed). Th...

As someone who has lived here for years I remember the mahogany bar (which was at right angles to the door, giving two bars - public and saloon), and the the fabulous tiled room, safe (for the time being) under lock and key. The original bar went in the refit which was done around 2000 by Arena pubs...

There are two clips - both BBC and ITV have been here today and I'm pretty sure the story will be on again on both channels' late night news bulletins (BBC1 is around 10.25; ITV some time between 10.30-11). Both journalists linked the story of the 9 pubs that have closed in the area with the CAMRA b...

Dear Eagle - the Sydenham Society (whose members live all over the town centre by the way) isn't preventing anyone from following their own agenda on the Greyhound site. You have a perfect right, if you want to, to organise and run a campaign demanding that the site be replaced by a police station. ...

I've found the bar staff brilliant virtually all the time - things might slip a bit when they're under pressure but generally they are really good. I love the way that you can order at your table if you are eating - saves all that jostling around the bar. They are light years ahead of bar staff in m...
