mrure Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I came onto the Forum just now to ask if anyone had heard that rioting had started in Camberwell. I work on Denmark Hill and a colleague has just mentioned this and that it is closed off. One of our security people went to the area and confirmed that it is true enough.

Cam123 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I just headed up (the side of) Rye Lane about 15mins ago. The atmosphere was getting tense, lots of groups of youths milling around at the bottom of choumert road, and someone was saying that "they are hitting the sorting office". Didn't stick around to see if it was true; turned around and had a swift march home.

srisky Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I would avoid the routes that involve going through affected areas, as I think even cars with occupants have been attacked.Is the A21 any good? Perhaps try going through Sydenham (currently unaffected, I believe): Lordship Lane - right onto Sydenham Hill - striaght onto A2216 - straight/leftish onto A212 - right onto A2218 - right onto A21Good luck Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18909-thread-of-merged-messages-about-incidents-outside-ed/#findComment-463041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
srisky Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Just seen Annette Curtain's post under 'rolling news' - maybe Sydenham's not the best way out after all, sorry.

Bonfire2010 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Very worried now - we are very close to Choumert Road but my son is a nursery near Sainsbury's on DKH. Not sure whether to go and get him now, or maybe he is safer where he is for the moment. Is anyone else picking up their children early?

gk Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Hello,Just thought I'd open this up to keep up to date on happenings today. I saw something on twitter about a garage being destroyed today in Forest Hill. Also heard a woman on her mobile (about 15 mins ago) at the park end of rye lane telling her son to stay indoors as she heard about a group of rioters moving down Queens Road peckham. May just be hearsay but thought it worth alerting people as the news agencies seem not to be too interested in the Peckham/ed area today...

MrsMc Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Facing the same dilemma - came in late due to sleepless night. Working at London Bridge but son at nursery at Green Dale. Thinking might be wise to collect before trouble reaches ED again.
