Wondering if anyone saw this? My car was parked on Crystal Palace road near the great exhibition pub on Thursday evening (28 Feb) and it got driven into. Looks like it was a white vehicle that did it and it must have been going at speed because it did quite a lot of damage. Anyone see anything?

I'm not sure exactly of the location of your car so can't comment, but I would like to say on numerous occasions I have seen cars parked too close to the island on the corner where whateley meets cpr going towards east dulwich road.


Luckily I have a fairly small car & have always managed to get through but I have seen cars & other vehicles having to go on the wrong side of the road to get through.


It's common sense to know how close you should or can park next to an island! Yes there there are no road markings there if my memory serves me right.


To be honest any car parked there I think deserves a good knock, because next time it may make people think about their actions!

After all, if the police were to pull up those drivers who have to drive on the wrong side of the road to get through... These drivers would be well & truly shafted!


Sorry to post on here, I was always meaning to have a rant on here about this but never seemed to get the right moment to.

If was near the pub, it was near the island. It's quite possible to park legally there but in my experience it's not a wise thing to do, as it doesn't leave much space for vehicles to get by. I've actually had a car written off there. I'm pretty sure I told our councillor about this but nothing has happened.

If you read my post carefully its states to the OP's post, "im not sure exactly of the location of your car so can't comment"


It might help if you read the post properly before jumping on your high horse!

      Holland & Barrett is coming to Lordship Lane

      By jazzer · Posted

      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.

      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.
