  Thread: Trains on 28 August 2014
Post: RE: Trains on 28 August 2014

If you can get on the Clapham branch then I suggest Take train to Peckham Rye and catch the 197 on Rye Lane. Take train to Denmark Hill and catch the 176 or 185.

That's cr@p Bells. Hope you manage to get a place off the waiting list. If you're willing to move schools early in the year places do seem to come up.

Pity the new residential dwellings they're constructing right next to the Capitol. Bet those houses will be difficult to shift if that goes ahead given the noise and crowds a KICC church would attract...

I lived near an area where there was an incredible proliferation of 'local' supermarkets, but that was over a much longer street in a much more densely populated neightbourhood - Brixton Hill. I d...

Yes I thought so too. In addition to improving the look, they appear to have added an extra insulation layer and new double glazed windows so hopefully the people living there will benefit from lo...

I must admit I had a sharp intake of breathe when I saw the price of that house. They've done a beautiful job with it, but that is an East Dulwich price-tag. The receptions rooms aren't that big. ...

Post: RE: Danny Boyle's new Channel 4 series Babylon

We saw some of the filming in our area and not sure it will show FH in the best light... It involved armed police response units amongst other things. Was interesting to watch though.

Selfishly speaking my requests would be a health food shop, Japanese restaurant and an upgrade for the Horniman Triangle playground, along the lines of Goose Green playground.

Agree with Isaglazer. We also live behind the Museum and it is great to run into neighbours on a Saturday morning for a chat. I'm really pleased that the market is continuing beyond December, not ...

I must admit I do like having it on a Saturday because it means we eat loads of vegetables on Saturday and Sunday. However, we'd still attend the farmer's market every week if it was on a Sunday. ...

I like having the market as a weekly thing as it is right next to my house. I go for vegetables, fruit, bread and eggs so the financial loss has been Sainsbury's, rather than any of the shops in Dartm...

We were really impressed as well and will be going every week. Bought a massive bag of vegetable for under £10. Nice mix of stuff as well. It would be perfect if they could get a fish stall.

Not sure. We've noticed that it comes and goes sometime. No idea if there's a pattern to it. Generally we've had no problems with them so far.
