There is virtually nowhere that is, except perhaps the few remains of the temperate rain forest in the West of the country. Even the apparently wilder parts are actually the result of agriculture or game management.

Market rent, a room in ED is £700/800 per month..all in..same in Bromley/West Wickham…

Agree that councils were not allowed to plough back housing revenue to create or improve stock. Young people especially, if they are lucky to have a decent job salary wise, find it impossible almost to find rented accommodation which is in a reasonable condition. We have a family member who is sharing a 3 bed ex council flat in Kings Cross area and are paying £2,500 pm between the 4 of them plus all utilities.

It wasn’t that long ago that Southwark planted a strip of seed bearing plants specifically for birds. It was parallel to Peckham Rye by the Harris Boys’ school. Naturally, it has disappeared courtesy of Gala.

Here you go - see attached. Page 3. Thank goodness for the internet as the report has been long since removed from the council website! As I said, probably the last report the council put out that wasn't selectively plucking data that validated their position and was based on robust, consistent and local monitoring. One wonders why they decided to take a different approach when the LTNs went in....... Air Quality: comparing before and after data shows that there has been a moderate increase in NO2 QW7-Dulwich Village junction Monitoring Report May 2019 (4).pdf

Silly comment. Read the attachment. Or go to i-player and watch Winterwatch: https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/documentaries/winterwatch-jack-baddams-protect-birds-comment/ Our gardens are not natural, many of the birds that use them are dependent on us. Most of us feed the birds, including myself, do it for our own pleasure rather than in a belief that we are reversing the damage done to nature by humans over recent centuries.

I'd been wondering whether these would be returning at all in 2026 having had a great time at the Christmas workshop... great to see the event space at the PictureHouse becoming a bit of a crafts hub with events like this! https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/easter-wreath-making-workshop-east-dulwich-picturehouse-spring-2026-tickets-1981514031810

Brilliant! Had a great time at the Christmas event and glad to see you're doing more this Easter 😄 Just what the Lane needs!

Thanks @Sue I had no idea what they delivered. Personally I just dont get why anyone living in London would bother with something like this, We can all pop down the road and buy bread, pastries etc and know what we're getting.. Just seems a bit of a yuppie fad and waste of money. But thats just my opinion!

How to you grow these? I've scattered meadow flower seeds many a time, but thistles don't take and I doubt if alder and birch is common round here. Teasels pop up now and then, but even if they are self seeding usually don't see them the next year. It was nice seeing the gold finches feeding off these when I do have them. I do let the dandelions grow but not sure I've seen finches feeding off them. I understand they are a great source of nectar for bees, butterflies and the like. On a related subject my lawns have changed greatly over the last couple of decades, warmer wetter winters, springs, earlier springs, droughts in the summer. Moss and brambles thrive....

I'm confused, mal. Can you explain? Is there something I missed in beansprout's post?

Sadly true though. I've just replenished my (clean) feeders and put out suet blocks and logs. Now I'm waiting for the pigeons and squirrels to descend 🤣

https://butterandcrust.com/pages/home-u2 Adding that in case I'm not the only person who didn't know what they deliver! Now I know, sadly I'm not really into "artisan breakfast goods", not do I want to double my weight 🤣 I'm considering using a fruit and veg delivery service again, because I don't eat enough veg these days. I used to use Oddbox, but the quality deteriorated badly unfortunately (it was always wonky etc veg, which was fine, but I think they must have changed their sources or their quality control or something).

Yup, not bad at all! Delivery wasn't sharp on time, but given its done by bike it was overall a great service. I was also refunded right away for applejuice which smelled like it had gone off. Happy customer here.

Fernando came and sorted out our very small overgrown garden. He is a very friendly chap, works meticulously and charges very fair prices. We’ve been using his Services for many years now and will continue to do so. Here are his contact details if you have any gardening questions: Fernando - 07946 757938

What have your conspiracy theories got to do with LTNs? Whoops shouldn't have asked that as I can feel Lawrence Fox, Piers Corbyn and Katy Hopkins prepared to answer. I'm certainly not coming to your imaginary dinner party. https://www.independent.co.uk/independentpremium/editors-letters/london-mayor-elections-laurence-fox-piers-corbyn-b1813707.html

Rather alarmist.
