The worst I've seen for this is The Crooked Well.

This is a totally pointless post but I live on Lyndhurst Grove and we had this problem too, it was a real pain.

Favourite Walworth Road shops have to be: Mixed Blessings Bakery and Michael Leigh's Beefy Boys (a clothing shop for large men)

I love Otzumer! Last time I went to the match I was sat by his parents, brother and about ten of his mates who made more nosie that the rest of the crowd, it was quslity.

Ooh Laddy Muck I am a dual Hamlet and MCFC support - shall we fight? Currently knitting a pink and blue scarf for my OH!

I live really close to it (over the road) and very curious about it. Some days I think it's nice and bright and a bit different, some days I think it's dreadful. Oimissus are you on LG as well?

What a nice thread. Apart from the stabbing, I suppose.

I heard some good intel on Friday that excellent actor Timothy Spall lives in Forest Hill.

I live on Lyndhurst Grove and walk through WG a lot in the evenings. Never again I guess. Surprised we didn't get a leaflet actually.

I live pretty near Ganapatti and went for the first time last week - bloody loved it. I am veggie and so absolutely love South Indian food (plus I really like coconuts and lentils anyway.) I had the vegetarian thali which I think was about ?12 and was absolutely stuffed, and the paratha was the best I have ever had. Gorgeous restaurant, and very friendly service. I'm super pleased to have it on my doorstep.

Got it! This is the place http://www.sheard.info/123grovepark/ although it looks a far sight less decrepit in that photo than it did when I saw it yesterday. So it used to be a Youth Offending Centre and now is under planning permission applications. I guess maybe it is still owned by the council? The land alone must be worth an absolute fortune. I am now curious if anyone is still living there.

Was on a long Sunday walk today, after lunch on Bellenden Road to watch the football in Herne Hill and enjoying looking at all the big houses at the top of Chadwick Road etc when we saw a really creepy one. On Grove Park after it has turned to meet up Camberwell Grove, on the right hand side of the road if you're looking towards CG there is a huge redbrick house covered in vines with a really overgrown front. It has a metal fire escape on its right side and out the front what looks like the remains of a large sign but all has rotted away except for the frame. It literally looked like a haunted house from a horror film and really captured my imagination! Does anyone else know this place and what it is or used to be? It is probably something very dull like an older person lives there and isn't able to sort out the front garden, but it looked so spooky. Also if you live in this house and you read this, I am sorry for calling your house creepy.
