  Thread: Life in SE23 - Eateries
Post: RE: Takeaways

If you're after a really good Chinese, we love the Jade Garden in Green Lane Penge. They've been run by the same people since they started 20 years ago or so. They're not on any of the takeaway websi...

Post: RE: Forest Hill Library

well according to Lewisham's proposals they intend to make most of the savings from staff cuts - £800,000 out of £1 million. Very depressing.

Post: RE: Forest Hill Library

I agree it would be a huge job to run FH library with volunteers. Managing the volunteers and getting enough of them on a regular basis might be a big problem. Especially with 7 day opening and long ...

Post: RE: Forest Hill Library

Shaman, it is open 9.30-7pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays which should be useful for those who work office hours. The charity that runs it keeps the same hours that Lewisham kept for it. There has been...

Post: RE: Forest Hill Library

Also, Eco computers (who run Sydenham) have had to spend thousands on it to get it up to speed. Why didn't Lewisham do that? It had been neglected by them for years. Surely they deserve credit for th...

Post: RE: Forest Hill Library

Michael, you are wrong! the library has had a huge number of borrowings for the summer reading scheme. Way more than Forest Hill for instance. I would like to see your figures please!

Post: RE: Forest Hill Library

If you are worried about the future of Forest Hill library, then I suggest Sydenham Library's record since it was taken over by volunteers is pretty good. They have had to replace the roof, redecorat...

  Thread: Best way to get to the M4 from Forest Hill
Post: RE: Best way to get to the M4 from Forest Hill

That M4 route through Earl's Court to the Cromwell Road is a bit of a pain at the weekend as they allow parking along that route from the King's Road northwards which reduces the road capacity, with a...

Post: RE: Where are all the squirrels?

Well we have loads of squirrels in Beckenham - you can have some of ours willingly. I dislike them messing with my garden.

Post: RE: Venue for folk orchestra

Beckenham Methodist Church has half a dozen mixed size rooms/halls - might work if you don't get anything closer? It's close to St George's on Bromley Road.

Don't forget that Sutton has some brilliant grammar schools and that quite a few kids travel from this area to them - eg from F Hill via Overground to Norwood Junction, then on to Sutton takes 30 mins...

Eltham Palace is lovely - an art deco house added to an old castle, plus loely gardens. Less than an hour away.
