Incredible. We had such an amazing time. The setting was gorgeous with the views. The way they set the fireworks to music was beautifully done. The Heart sponsored music actually worked very well, though not generally my cup of tea. A family ticket was ?32 and there were two full displays. We got there early and it was very quiet. Food and drink, though delicious was expensive, as expected. Queues for everything between the displays were too long to even consider joining, though we did manage to get a couple more pints. It felt safe, well organised, top event and fantastic fun. We managed to get two buses home without too much trouble too. Will definitely consider next year, great night.
A really great event..could hear the music everywhere.. CPalace has struggled with this in recent years..kiddies loved the first one with sings from frozen and the greatest showman,, saw Dads singing along..great finale to the main display set against Avicii.
I think I prefer a more old fashioned ?5.00 per adult kids go free type of event. I mean they are just fireworks! Was mighty pissed off to be woken from my slumbers at 11.55pm to fireworks going off near the top end of Upland Road. It's not bloody New Years Eve. Set them off at a civilised time ffs.

Agree with you tomskip! It's all become really commercialised! I didn't think Brockwell were having a firework display this year due to complaints/environmental issues but guess they went ahead.


I found there were safety issues at Brockwell Park years ago and only took my family once and we live just a 10-12 minute walk away.


Couldn't believe the music coming from Brockwell was even louder and more house thumping than the fireworks! Just hope any babies/young children had adequate ear protection!

I think that's why they have started charging for tickets, and presumably limiting the numbers.


However the fireworks at Southwark Park are still free to Southwark residents (I'm going tonight) but you still have to get a ticket in advance, presumably so that they can limit the numbers as well.

AQs with others I went to the Brockwell Park event when it was free - very good, but probably too crowded. Blackheath is similar and takes yonks to get home from.


Yesterday we went to Tower Hamlets bash at Victoria Park, even with the Central Line down not too bad to get to and whilst heaving felt easier to get out of and the opportunity to visit Bethnal Green, and do a bit of a Krays walk too.

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
