Take a look on www.se23.com our forum (also the forest hill society website has information on this too) There is exactly the same debate about the 63 bus route. We in HOP would like to see it extended too as we would like a direct link to and from the city via peckham rye. We are also fed up of having to trek over the hill. The good news is that according to the chair of the forest hill society he has had a very recent meeting with the transport powers to be. The good news is that the 63 bus route will be under review and going to public consultation soon. This will be our chance to get the bus route extended up to Honor Oak Park Station! It will be great for us to join forces on this soon, the more who are for it the better. If there are anymore developments I will keep you posted!

Hi Jason and all! I am really looking forward to trying it out! Have been to tapastry and enjoyed it. Page 2 was good a couple of years back when I lived in Nunhead but it went very down hill IMO...so it is great it is changing hands and name?! - you asked about the history of the pub? I heard from locals it was called the something else. I think it would be great for the pub to have a new start and reinstate the original traditional name (or part thereof) and facia, am sure the original signage from the 20's or 30's (not sure how old the building is) must be lurking there behind the big black boards - I still see them when I pass by sometimes, are they coming down? I wish you luck Jason! I look forward to local tapas which is far better than Barcelona!
