I have water tonight despite the road closure though still not sure I'll risk a washing load!


I do wonder if there's any scope to bring the permanent works that are due to start on 16 Feb forward rather than do yet another temporary repair.

Buses now on diversion until Sunday evening.


LORDSHIP LANE, SE22: Routes 176 185 and 197 are diverted until 2000 Sunday 10 February via Barry Road, Peckham Rye, Forest Hill Road and Honor Oak Road due to emergency waterworks on Lordship Lane, and buses are unable to serve stops between Dulwich Library and Horniman Museum.

Count your blessings this afternoon a 185 on it's apparent way to Lewisham decided to go OFF route

from Honor Oak Road,

left into Tyson rd,

left onto Devonshire road,

left onto Boveney road,

left into Hengrave road,

left onto Honor Oak Road,

right and back down Forest Hill Road,

left onto Woodvale all the way to the end,

finally left back onto London Road/ Lordship lane.


The back roads of SE23 are not designed for buses as the driver found out to his cost, having to manoeuvre some very, very tight corners to get around. Doubt he'll be repeating it, and what those living on teh back streets thought when the 185 went doen the roads, I have no idea.

The P13 is currently diverted away from Peckham Rye due to Rye Lane gas works. Personally depending on which part of LL they're going to, I'd get them to change at Peckham Rye for a Southern train to East Dulwich and then bus from there or walk.


They can also walk from Peckham Rye station to Peckham Bus Station where they can get the 37 or P13 to the Goose Green end.

P13 was normal route towards Streatham.

Thanks all. They are coming to Underhill below Melford Rd stop, but were thinking about stopping off on LL to pick up something en route. They might decide to take overland to PR and 363 down instead.


It does feel rather like a magical mystery tour, you're right Applespider!

If the bus is on a diversion I don't think they will stop .


Having said that I did see a P ( something 4 ? ) stop on Barry Rd yesterday ,but I think that was just that driver exercising discretion/anarchy .

    • 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.
