ilondoner Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 The last day of the Olympic Torch Relay is the 26th July, and it is coming through Southwark. The torch will be passing along our very own historic Peckham High Street at around 10.45am. let's hope it's not stolen.

edygirl Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Let's celebrate Southwark - the sun will be shining, people will be happy and proud - achievements will be celebrated - it'll be something to enjoy and remember. Why choose to be negative?Whitten Timber on Peckham hill street will have a Caribbean food/music stool, ice cream van and candy floss stand outside its gates from 930am. . There will be limited parking available as well to watch the torch fly pass.

Annette Curtain Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 We went to the Olympic Torch Relay at Crystal Palace the other dayIt was brilliantI was on my bike on the way to meet my family (wearing my all black kit with a green flouro top, riding a black bike) I sometimes get mistaken for a police person in my garb. So as the torch entered Crystal Palace park via the side gate, I slipped in and cycled behind the torch bearer team and was waved through the crowds by security. It was very funny because for a while I must of looked like part of the official team.That was until a sharp eyed policeman in a van came along side me, looking me up and down. It took him a moment"Oi you, hop it" he said with a thumb back hitcher gesticulationHe was laughing though as he knew what I was up toIn retrospect, I think my "Royal Curtain" waving maybe over egged it & got me ejectedAh, what fun thoughNette Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/24439-olympic-torch-relay/#findComment-563176 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyageur Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I live in Crystal Palace and wasn't going to bother but at the last minute I changed my mind and sauntered down to have a look - glad I did, was more fun than I expected and crowds of people had turned out. I had a lump in my throat (to my surprise) as the torch bearer jogged by but the best bit for me though was the Pavarotti shaped traffic cop on his motorbike who sailed past in advance of the torch bearer deploying a comical sounding horn, a huge grin and a wave at the crowds - he went down a storm.Didn't spot 'Nette though...

Ann Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Thanks for those pictures, I saw the torch pass down Coldharbour Lane today, absolutely fabulous atmosphere. There have been two members of staff at Kings College Hospital who have carried the torch. They will personally visit the children's wards to ensure the children haven't missed out.That's a nice story.

DulwichFox Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Peckham was Packed... Really brilliant atmosphere and the Sunshine helped.. Saw it in Peckham where it stopped . So I was able to walk towards Camberwell and saw it all over again. Although the Peckham to Camberwell had long gaps between floats and the Flame.. Fox.
