Re: Parking problems

Me again.. So under the lewisham council web site there is a useful overview of the CPZ scheme. At the bottom of the page is a link to request a review of parking in an area.

Re: Parking problems

I am pleased I am not in the minority here! However this issue is spread far across sydenham from the Newlands ladder, the Thorpes and upper sydenham. I am absolutely for a permit system.

Re: Parking problems

I have done some curtain twitching research.... The houses directly opposite and next to me are a mix of house and flats. Out of c18 homes there are only 7 cars! So it's not too many residents.

Re: Golden Lion pub

Paid my 2nd visit to GL last Saturday eve, hoping for dinner. The pub was half empty and lit so brightly it doesn't give any warmth or create an atmosphere you want to stay in. Such a shame. The staff were aplenty but poor customer service. We sat with a menu on our table for a good 30 mins but nobo...

Re: If you moved form Sydenham, where would you go?

Wouldn't love anywhere else in london.
Move would be out of london, somewhere near the sea!
Pub grub, crystal palace or in town
Waitrose, Lidl, sainsburys.

It was a great success, spread as far as Venner. Very good community spirit. I personally think the penge tourist board being on Facebook helps.

Re: Another violent incident on Sydenham high street

I agree Eagle, what's happening? I have lived here for over 10 years, brought my daughter up here. Never known such a spate of violence. Very sad.
