Sounds fantastic Wiola - go for it! But presume you are aware that the Blue Mountain cafe will shortly open up near to Cobbs Corner? Perhaps something more central would be good - eg the HSBC bank premises on the corner of Venner Rd where there is the possibility of outdoor seating. Have you contact...

Can you be a bit more precise - I'm curious but too lazy to go out right now! It's not the old Fat Boys Cafe is it - or Grenadiers - the former militaria shop? Or the Turkish restaurant re-branding itself (which would be a great pity after its accolade in Time Out!) Sounds like we're getting a resta...

Hi Afshan - Sydenham is a great place to live, and as you say many of its streets have wonderful views - those that do tend to be in Upper Sydenham and include Longton Avenue and the roads off Westwood Hill and Sydenham Hill. The Lawrie Park triangle is also beautiful - take a look at last week's Ti...

Property World have a good reputation locally - they are totally committed to the area and get a mention in the recent Time Out article. They claim to be the area's 'independent agent' and have a special offer on at the moment for sellers - go to http://www.propertyworlduk.net/main.htm

This sounds absolutely brilliant! I think though it would be great if you also went for the evening market - as I'm sure there is a demand for a place to eat out at this end of the high street. The Dolphin and Gurkhas have got the other end covered, but the top end could do with a bistro-style resta...

We now have a copy of the blueprint timetable post 2010 for Sydenham. The loop line between London Bridge and Victoria has been axed, and trains between Sydenham and London Bridge cut by a quarter (from 101 per day at present to 76 per day after 2010). It is essential that everyone (whether daily co...

I think Oola Boola has been affected by the downturn in the antiques trade - rise of Ikea and minimalism in interior decor. Sadly, antique shops are going out of business everywhere - even the upmarket ones in Pimlico Road are struggling. Once Kirkdale was full of antiques shops - Oola Boola was one...

Marirenz - is the shop in Brockley Rise or Brockley Road? Do you know the planning application number - I'll need that to look at the plans and possibly write an objection. By the way, have you involved the Town Centre Manager at Lewisham? If you're not sure who it is, give Lewisham Planning a ring....

Sounds like a dream come true! A coffee bar / restaurant like this would certainly fill a real need and if there was a deli counter it could also provide high quality food for people to take home in the evening. As you are based in Devon, perhaps there could be local suppliers for cheeses, chutneys ...

The Dolphin (next to the Mercedes dealership near the corner of Mayow Road and Sydenham Rd) has just been beautifully refurbished - from a pretty rundown boozer to a bright, modern, non-smoking pub with lovely food. It opened in early December; the food is terrific (couscous, cassoulet, beef stew, f...

Raymondus - great that you have discovered all this. But what a lost opportunity for Sydenham - and how crazy that the three prospective businesses duplicate what we already have! If I understand you correctly, there will be a new hairdressers immediately next door to Outback and a new gym which wil...
