Us too - judging by twitter a massive burst water main between Grove and Horniman - the one that is constantly getting fixed. I hope not off too long - have tweeted Thames Water seems to be the best way of getting a response in previous instances.

Update from TW website:

SE22 - We're working hard in your area

Last updated 4th Febuary, 2019 - 15:00pm.


We've found a burst pipe in Lordship Lane.


A burst pipe is causing low water pressure and no water in SE22. Our specialist engineers are now working hard to fix this a quickly as possible, which we estimate will take around 4 hours.


We've also put together some practical advice to help you understand the problem:


What causes burst pipes (http://www.thameswater.co.uk/help-and-advice/cold-weather/why-our-pipes-burst)

What to do if your pipes freeze (http://www.thameswater.co.uk/help-and-advice/cold-weather/what-to-do-if-pipes-freeze)

how can you protect your home if your area is affected (http://www.thameswater.co.uk/help-and-advice/cold-weather/prepare-your-home)


We'll be posting updates here, so check back when you can for the latest news.

I reported that leak at the Northcrofts houses four days in a row (about two weeks ago) before they came out to do what they described as a ?temporary fix?. I wonder if this is related to that. Either way, they were really slow to deal with it and it was only when I sent them a video of water pouring down the hill that they swung into action. Sigh.

We're still on the case in SE22.


Our specialist team are working hard to fix the issue with low pressure and no water in Lordship Lane, but the complexity of the network is making it tricky.


We estimate the fix will take a bit longer than usual, but we hope to be finished around 21:30pm. We understand how disruptive this must be, so we're very sorry for the delay.


We'll keep posting updates here, so check back when you can for more news.

Siduhe - I also reported when crossing the road became a stream! I wish there was a 'current' location option for reporting leaks - so much easier than trying to work out street numbers/postcodes.


Doesn't surprise me that it's taking longer than estimated; looking at the Twitter video from earlier there seemed to be a fair mess - bubbling up through the slabs on the opposite side etc.


Thames Water have an 8 week programme of work scheduled to start around here in mid-Feb to put in plastic pipes. Let's hope this stops this happening quite so frequently.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the burst water main that was further up the road opposite Wood Vale has now moved further down the road.


It seems to be a think with water leaks, plug one up and then the issue moves further along.


Also the weather has been 'milder' today than over the last few days, which can cause issues.

    • Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next. 
    • IMO, Sealy, the best nights sleep you'll ever have.  
    • I don’t know what the shop was originally next to the big St Christopher’s but if Holland and Barrett are taking it over then surely it’s good to have a choice on Lordship Lane? The Camberwell H&B is always empty but the Brixton branch busy.  I remember when the Marks & Spencer food shop was Iceland? Now the M&S is a very busy store and at the time regenerated the high street!
    • Nor would I have done, but it came up when I googled John Lewis reviews. Do you not trust TrustPilot reviews? Even allowing for the fact that many people only post reviews when they have had poor service, 27% one star reviews is indicative of something wrong, I would say. That's 27% of 76,392 reviews. That's an awful lot of people who don't  think the service they got from John Lewis was even worth two stars, let alone more. Screenshot attached.
