Re: Moving to Sydenham
I have lived in Sydenham for nearly 20 years and am used to it so I like it! Mayow Park is a lovely park to chill out in. I think there's an increasing sense of community with the various events that run during the year. I like the transport links.

Re: Boot Sale on Sunday

I arrived about 8am but would aim to be there about 7.30 in future as it can get busy. £10 entry. Held Saturday and Sunday - details,including contact number, in ...

Re: Boot Sale on Sunday
Not sure if anyone is reading this BUT on the off chance people look up car boot sales I shall now review the one I attended yesterday at Wimbledon dogs (although, really it seems to be nearer to Tooting!). I was there by 7am, not the 6am I had intended, and was in a pitch by 7.30am. The downside be...

Re: Boot Sale on Sunday
My car boot sale quest continues. I turned up at the 2nd Sydenham Community Car Boot Sale on Sunday, 8th July with husband in tow in a car full of stuff as well but it was rained off. Torrential rain. Most of the day. They're aiming for a 3rd in September (I think the 9th) so watch this space! Still...

Re: Serious Incident? 19th July
What a relief to hear the cyclist is ok. I hadn't heard a cyclist was involved when I posted this morning and when I read the post saying it was a cyclist I feared the worst particularly as there were so many police cars. A former student of mine was knocked off his bike earlier this year and killed...

Serious Incident? 19th July
I am just curious if anyone knows what happened on Sydenham Road last night. My husband said part of the road by Kwik Fit and the Alfred pub there were blocked off (7.30/8 ish?) and there was an ambulance and police cars. When I drove past it on my way home about 8.30 last night there were 6 or 7 po...

Re: Boot Sale on Sunday
If I was the baking sort I'd definitely bake a few cakes to lure the punters over to my stall! They did look good though but as I had banned myself from buying anything at all I didn't sample them.
@ Chris thanks for the info about the cost of the next boot sale. Good news all round I think.

Re: Boot Sale on Sunday
Out of interest I have just had a look on carboot junction and seen lots of car boots in London. What is interesting is that it lists the prices and the facilities available - not sure why I hadn't seen all of this before. Practically all of them have refreshments and toilets which Girton Road car p...

Re: Boot Sale on Sunday
Perhaps if enough people show interest in a boot sale but aren't prepared to pay £15 (and let the organisers know) they will drop the price.

Re: Boot Sale on Sunday
I made it there and was very glad the rain held off! I didn't sell very much so my car looks almost as full as when I went there and my house still looks like a hoarder's heaven! However, at least I covered the pitch fee and made a little bit of profit. @ Postman - I wonder if you bought anything fr...

It seems well used and the courts seem to be in good condition. My nephew did 2 weeks of tennis activities there last summer holidays and loved it!

Re: Car bot sales SE23/SE26 or Near
I am very excited at the prospect of a car boot sale in Sydenham on Sunday. I have LOADS of stuff to sell so I can move around in my house (currently resembling one of those hoarder's houses shown on TV programmes - I am not exagerating here!). Fingers crossed for the weather and lots of buyers.
