It is the first step in the rehabilitation of the unused parts of the station buildings. The idea/hope is that restoring this wonderful room - the original waiting room - will attract attention from potential investors to make the room useable and habitable, and also by being open and in use contribute to more light on the platforms at night. The windows overlooking platform 2 are to be unbricked as well, and then there will be a public launch of the whole project. The money came from the Cleaner, Greener, Safer programme for an initiative from the Rye Lane & Station Action Group. Bill Morris and Benedict O'Looney are local architects. Benedict is also an architectural historian who is the expert on Peckham historical buildings. Each summer he leads walks for the Peckham Society. These are now usually packed out with locals and people from further afield because he gives such entertaining and knowledgeable talks. See www.peckhamsociety.org.uk for info on joining the Peckham Society and getting Peckham Society News which gives info on the walks, or keep tabs on the website where the info will be posted in due course.

    • Hi does anyone have a Hotwheels track (ideally which packs away neatly like the fuel can or transporter one) they've been itching to get rid of please? Needed urgently for an emergency birthday present!    Thanks! 
    • Glad to hear that the cops are taking crash for cash seriously.  The situation I am aware of the driver called the police, reported it separately as dangerous motorcycling, avoided all calls from 'ambulance chasers' and subsequently got a letter from the police saying it was an unregistered rider/uninsured rider.  It was reluctantly reported to their insurers who actually did not put up the premium which was a nice surprise. So as stressful as it may be just hold firm, deny everything, take down details and report to the police.
    • Hi I am looking to join some local businesses networking events and wondering if anyone can recommend any. I know there used to be one (Cooking with Scissors) but that’s not running any more. Thanks.
    • Eats Dulwich has just reviewed Arapina, including its hot chocolate!  I assume they read the original first and  very long post on this thread before almost all of it was removed. Interesting to have another opinion!
