  Thread: Friends of the P4
Post: RE: Friends of the P4

I used to catch the P4 every morning from HOP to Canary Wharf but it got so bad that I decided to boycott it and now walk over the Stanstead Road and get either the 185 or 122. The main problem was t...

I had my purse taken from inside my handbag as I boarded a P4 to Brixton at Lewisham bus station at approximately 6pm one evening last March. The thief got off again straight away, having asked the d...

I'm with mandy_playbox on the Thai Orchard - we've always found the food delicious whenever we've been and the service great. Have had a lot of really bad Thai food experiences in London (most recent...

Post: RE: Buses

Actually, I find the P4 in the opposite direction (towards Lewisham) awful in the morning, at least during term time. It is usually packed full of school kids, many of whom for some reason refuse to ...

Post: Remembrance Sunday

Does anybody know of any local services to mark Remembrance Sunday? We went to Dulwich last year but wondered if there is anything closer to home. Thanks.

  Thread: Drug Dealing in SE23

I thought Brockley Cross referred to the area in Brockley around the station - i.e. around where the Brockley Barge pub is. From your original post, it sounds like you are talking about the crossroad...

  Thread: Using the DLR from Lewisham to Canary Warf
Post: RE: Using the DLR from Lewisham to Canary Warf

In this instance, the guy actually got on the bus with me, presumably as it took him that long to rummage in my bag and locate my purse. But he got off again pronto, after asking the driver whether i...

A note of caution for those that use the P4 to get to or from Canary Wharf. I had my purse stolen out of my handbag at about 6pm last night as I was getting on to the bus at Lewisham bus station. Th...

We tend to jump on the P4 to Brixton and go to the Ritzy, which is one of the Picturehouses chain of cinemas. There is also one in Greenwich.

I haven't seen anyone do it (some people seem to cycle and leave their bikes in the rack outside the station but not sure of the wisdom of this). Bikes aren't permitted on the DLR and I believe the s...

Generally pretty good and infinitely preferable to the tube. I don't always get a seat from Lewisham when I go through (8.30am ish) although could easily wait for the next train if I wanted one. The...

We live in a half house and I think it is correct that the dividing wall is not a proper party wall but more like the wall between one room and another. Is quite an odd set up - there are some floorb...

Le Querce and Tapastry would get my vote. Both great, good value, friendly neighbourhood restaurants and a real asset to our area.
