Hi there There are chree chidren centres near you in the area, Ivydale, Peckham Rye park and Rye Oak, all provide activities for children from the ages of babies to 5 yrs old, this is a free service. For the details and timings you can go on Hoop for the Peckham Rye playrooms and Ivydale school website, children centres and there will be all the timetables of each centre.

Hi Omagem The is a new service for southwark residence only that has been set up to assist parents with these types of problems. If you go onto the Ivydale school website, go to the children centres and it will have all the information on there about how to access this service, if you are around the One Oclock club in the peckham rye park has information there too. The timings are on Hoop! Hope that helps chel

we eat at Na Pura the other night, lovely atmosphere, great service and the food was delicious. The place was very busy so thought that the food might come in dribs and drabs but it was all cooked fresh and delivered at the same time! great experience and we will definitely be returning. Very reasonably priced too !!

Dear All, I just wanted to advise everyone of the new opening times and days for the One O'clock club/playrooms: Monday 1.15pm to 3.15pm Tuesday 10.00am to 12.00am Thursday 1.15pm to 3.15pm We will be open over the half term and have a Halloween party on the 30th October. The rooms have been redesigned inside and the activities are more interesting. We are offering complimentary tea and coffee and a water station for the children. I look forward to welcoming you and your children, to the Play rooms. Warm regards, Chell

Oh that is sad, they used to do such delicious things :0((

Hi James If this is the case then I will be more than pleased to sign the petition, as this would be an excellent addition to our areas.

love the Montague arms it was a fab place and is agreed almost as good.... miss the bar staff though :O(( they were characters......

Z you are right... its my understanding from old that they are unable to dig a tunnel for two reasons on the water table is very high in this part of town due to the River flowing under the towns ... and secondly there a number of black death burial sites by the church, the wishing well areas etc... I know that they used to have a tram and trolley bus routes, and think that they would have to do what they have and make it over ground. It would be nice though.

Louisa, Rudd's is still there as are the staff, they just changed the name due to the brother or sister cant remember taking it over, all still the same there though.... Its interesting to read the comments,my family and I have lived in Nunhead since 1935, when it was pretty much the same as it is now, of course the town houses were full of posh people and had servants etc.... the interesting thing is that East Dulwich was a place that you wouldn't have frequented in my younger days as it wasn't anywhere near what it is today, thankfully things have changed for the better. Peckham, especially Rye Lane, was the place to be, Department stores, independent traders, large chain stores and great market stalls, it was known as the golden mile, people would come from out side to shop as it was a great alternative to the West End. Things have changed and move and now we have more access to food from around the world at a great price. When I first heard of Peckham Village, I laughed my socks off, it was Bellenden Road!! A street you would not have walked down at night on your own, now its a fantastic place. There are plenty of pubs, gastro pubs, take away's and fantastic independent traders offering better quality products, for the same price as the super markets. The old pub /pizza bar will be come a coffee shop/wine bar and then a pub with food in the back, so you will have a choice and it will have more appeal to different families. There are rumours that it will have some B&B space up stairs, but that's just a rumour... Im glad to say that as a family that has been born and bred in Nunhead and Peckham, I'm happy to live here and see great things happening.... oh and the village once was as this area used to be Kent in the olden days!!! Have a great weekend...

it is my understanding that this will never be an underground line for two reasons, one the water table is too high in this area and secondly because of all the areas where the black death people were buried. This is why there were tram lines in originally all the way through to the early 50's and then they took them out of service, there used to be a depot down in Peckham, which I don't think is there anymore. If they could offer us an over ground tube solution, that would be fantastic. Good luck with the petition.......

The other one to go to is Skeehan's and this is one of the regular music pubs in Nunhead/Telegraph Hill, one of the local bands that are doing really well are the little Devils and highly recommend them, they play Blues. The Ivyhouse has live Jazz sometime up to 10 piece sets on a sunday lunch and evening. Th Rye hotel has a two man covers only band, but they are ok !!! If I can remember the music .com address I will let ya know ... good luck its a great place to live !!!

The same thing happened to me earlier in the year, I thought I hadn't locked it and it wasn't until I got into the car did I realise, as I never keep anything in the car they took my lock nut re-leaser, so had to buy a new set of lock nuts etc. I also found the contents of the boot on the side walk, luck for me no one had taken it !!! That same week three others all ford's were broken into but again very little taken.... sorry to hear this. I hope you will get your things back will keep an eye out for you!!

I had a NHW meeting tonight with one of the officers on duty this afternoon, apparently there were three people involved in a road rage incident, they all got out were giving it large to each other and then one of them smashed a glass bottle over one of the guys head, then it all got out of hand and two were unconscious, with the last guy standing calling the police.... it turns out that they have all been sent to hospital and all have been arrested for causing a fray! Lets hope the other two guys come round and all is okay with them..... sometimes it helps to have inside knowledge !!! lol !!! Im just a nosy NHW person really!!!!

I have to say that the festival was excellent this year, the sun was shining and the addition of children's athletic area was great. I was face-painting there for the first time, and wanted to say how polite and well mannered the children were!!! A credit to the parents of the area!!!! Looking forward to seeing you all again next year. Michelle Chelle Belle Faces
