Sydenham Town Forum

I expect the staff at Sydenham will obliviously carry on telling people to change onto non-existent Southern services at various other stations as per what seems to be normal nowadays. The apparent lack of interest in anything other than TfL services nowadays is appalling. I wonder whether it's the ...

Well, Bromley collected our bins today as per schedule - i.e. several days later than normal due to Bank Holidays and so on.

The gov dashboard states 124% 2k to 4k increase in cases in 7 days. Has anyone noticed any increases or is this number overstated? Well, when I last managed to get the interactive site to work we were still in dark blue - it's now magenta and dark burgundy (which technically means limitless), if th...

Ah yes, Sydenham, that well-known leafy suburb of SE London. Can't say I remember seeing many trees around, apart from in Home Park, when I went past yesterday.

Went for a booster at Sydenham Green yesterday - appointments only - so efficient that we barely saw anyone else there the whole time. In - get jabbed - out - and that's it. No waiting around for 15 minutes, or anything, unless you feel so inclined.

I saw on the Sydenham facebook group that someone spoke to their postman and he said a lot were off either with covid or connections to people with covid so they are a bit short staffed at the moment. I'm on Anerely Road Penge and have been getting post this week. That's because you're in SE20. You...

According to a Lewisham GP, the pharmacies are doing Moderna and the surgeries/health centres Pfizer. I was surprised that it was that clear-cut.

I don't think we've had any post all week

Have you tried train to Norwood Junction and pick up the Thameslink? I think it's fast from there, but don't know when it runs.

Last time round, where you were offered depended on how you booked. Sydenham Green was never an option on the NHS central booking site. We booked there via an invitation link sent by our GP. The implication in the letter I received the other day was, I thought, that GP surgeries weren't included on...

It's been ridiculously noisy tonight - possibly because of the still air? I don't normally notice the noise, but tonight I couldn't avoid it.

My GP surgery in Anerley told me there had been delays in delivery of supplies of the "younger" flu jab, and booked me in for an appointment for when they do get some: DECEMBER!

I didn't think there were *any* trains this weekend? I'm very annoyed about this, too. I don't tend to use the service off Sydenham on a very regular basis, but the loop service to London Bridge is a "go-to" for me any time I need to work on the train, because it has tables! . I didn't ini...

Do you have any details? When is this? Seems to me a lot of the park has been closed off for much of the summer already.

And the ongoing saga - is it still the same leak? A trench dug across the entire width of Parish Lane almost at the junction with Lennard Road. I'm told work won't be finished until after the weekend, so the buses are on the usual diversion via Lawrie Park.

I really can't see Pret opening a branch in Sydenham - or even in Penge, for that matter. Indeed, on my relatively rare trips to London in recent months, I've been aware that one of the very few positive things to have come out of the pandemic is a culling of the excessive number of Pret branches in...

I've read that the vaccine rollout has stalled as the govt bought too much AZ which cant be used on the under 30’s and is out of pfizer until spring 2022 so its going for herd immunity/ distraction. They cant admit this failure as the vaccine was the only thing keeping them popular. Really? Was it ...

All *3* tracks? Are you talking about the Southern section, the Southeastern section, or both? I must admit that I hadn't really noticed.

We always were part of the Beckenham constituency - until the last time the boundaries were changed. A dead cert Labour MP versus a dead cert Tory one - not much of a choice.

Thank you, Angela, you've beaten me to it.

It should be said that this is for first jabs only.
