Sydenham Town Forum

Actually Ulysses, I took your point about being negative about the area and checked back on my previous posts because I thought that maybe I had. But there was only one negative post out of the 35 I've posted and that was about the stabbing in Silverdale. How could I be positive about that? Golly go...

Dear Ulysses Well that wasn't a very nice response. Where you trying to reinforce my point about Sydenham? If you got your facts right you would have seen my post prior to my response to this thread was actually praising the area and encouraging people to get out and see Sydenham. You know nothing a...

I too have problem neighbours to the point where I'm considering moving away from Sydenham. They've spoilt the suburb for me and after reading this thread it seems to be quite common in Sydenham. When I complain I get screeched at and am called all sort of things. But when I, on a rare ocassion, get...

Ian, thanks very much for leading this walk. I had a fabulous time on the walk and wouldn't hesitate to join such a walk again. I discovered places that are 5 minutes away from my front door that I never knew existed!! I would recommend that everyone takes the opportunity to this walk if the opportu...

Likewise. I was expecting two very important pieces of mail, both companies were adament they posted them. One turned up a week later, the other 2 weeks later. The strange thing about the latter was the sender sent me 2 letters on the same day one arrived 2 days prior. But as you say, the mail comes...

Darn! Homeless people getting a roof over their head in a newly furbished tower block. What's the world coming to!?!

So sad :( I can't imagine how it's affecting that poor family. I have to walk down Silverdale to get home and it's not a nice area at night. I always make sure I carry my keys not only as a potential weapon but so I can gain quick access to my flat. Plus I change into my flats so I can run if need b...

Noooo I wasn't saying they weren't private contractors. I was just saying that the SE23.com have done that topic to death and have tried complaining to Sainsbury's about it .... it's a very funny thread. No matter who employs them they scare me ... they give off bad vibes. So much so I cross the roa...

The Forest Hill Sainsbury's Car Park Traffic Wardens have been heavily discussed/debated on se23.com . The consensus is that they are not employed by Sainsbury's so no use complaining to them. Though I have noted myself that they like to hang out in groups (during their break?) under the bus shelter...

I've managed to register with Wells Park Surgery even though the Sydenham Surgery is literally across the road from me (the look deterred me from registering there). Check out www.NHS.co.uk they have an online tool whereby you enter your postcode and it brings up surgeries whose catchment area you a...

Yes, I suppose it could be worse. But whilst sitting here at my desk struggling to keep awake after the 3rd night of very little sleep to me this is as worse as it gets.

Rain on Friday so maybe they will stay away that night

That's appalling!! I didn't realise they were leaving the playground in such a state! I knew from last night that it had to drugs or alcohol. Last night was worse than the other nights, arguing and some man randomly shouting God knows what because he was under the influence of something. There must ...

I take it back. Not teenagers but immature adults. A new arrival has started an argument as to why one of them isn't answering their door which has caused them to be locked out. Because they're in Mayow Park disturbing the peace!! Sydenham use to be a nice place to live. Not only have I got nasty ne...

All this week my sleep has been disturbed by, what I assume is, teenagers in the Mayow Park playground until the early hours of this morning. Is there anything that can be done to prevent these kids getting into the park at this time of night? At the start of the week I overhead them mention that &q...

It is very easy to change service managers. The process is so that tenants can do this themselves without legal representation. The difficult part is getting the entire block on board. The vocal owners in my old block were keen to sack our property manager but a couple of flats were rented and the o...

I used to pay that when I lived in Canonbie Road. You pay less living in Central London! I wouldn't have minded if the property manager actually did something. No maintenance was ever done and she was never available, always off somewhere exotic. It took a year of complaints for her to finally emplo...

Sydenham Sainsbury's isn't the largest Sainsbury's. It's the busiest!!

The largest Sainsbury's was featured in last night's show and that was in Finsbury. I think that's what they said. Definitely wasn't Sydenham.

Fabulous, it looks good afar from Silverdale (I haven't had the need to get further than the station since it opened).

Does anyone know if they do a "take-away" service? I need a cheap alternative the Megabucks coffee I get whilst in London Bridge.

I'm already queuing

2 men dressed in orange dayglo outfits, mmm nice, were standing looking baffled at the Help Point (and the fence) by the P2 gate this morning. There's gonna be some disruption on P2 if they're ripping up the Help Point and the fence. I'm frazzled enough in the morning after fighting my way through t...
