Olympic Torch coming to Southwark Thursday 26 July


In less than three weeks the Olympic Flame will tour our borough in the hands of 15 Torchbearers. It will travel across the Millennium Bridge, past Shakespeare?s Globe, down to Bricklayers Arms, and through the Old Kent Road before stopping for lunch at Harris Academy in Peckham before continuing on through Camberwell. The exact route can be found on our website alongside videos of our torchbearers telling their story and explaining why they were nominated. So get clicking and find out how near your home or workplace the Flame will come.


This is an historic moment and we want everyone to join in, so on 26 July come out and cheer, wave flags and let the world know how proud you are to live in Southwark.


To get in the Games spirit, we have decorated our streets with 2012 banners which you can see alongside the route and across many of our high streets. Perhaps you are a local leader and have organised for your friends and neighbours to cheer on the Flame through our streets?

    • Hi if anyone has one pm me cheers 
    • You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.
    • I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?
    • Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
