I need to get to Luton airport early Friday morning and am looking at getting the first train out of Denmark Hill - 5:07am!!


I'm a bit worried about the safety at that time in the morning as a woman on my own, there will obviously be no staff around. Does anyone have experience of using the station at those times? Are there many people?


Thanks in advance for your advice.

I got an early train (about 5.30am I think) from Denmark Hill back in December. I got to the station stupid early and hung about by the barriers for a while before going down on to the platform. As you say, no staff, but I reassured myself slightly by thinking about how many security cameras there must be. I was the first one there but felt better when a couple of other passengers arrived on the platform, by the time my train came there were I think 3 or 4 of us waiting, no chat of course but a v slight acknowledgement from one or two. I'd do it again if I had to, probably safer actually at the station than walking along the street at that hour. Safe journey! Annie

    • Just a review for Andy. I have now used him for various jobs for 5 years or so. An absolute and complete star. Always goes above and beyond, never cuts a corner, and always prices incredibly fairly. If you need a handyman...he is your man. Could not recommend more highly.
    • Don’t know about cafes but the Victoria and Montpelier pubs always have always encouraged people working during the day.
    • Thank you Saied for the amazing work! I will see you in a few months.
    • If you care about the decline in the swift population please support the lovely Hannah Bourne-Taylor in her campaign to mandate 'swift bricks' in all new properties   From her website: What are swift bricks? Zero maintenance and sustainable, swift bricks are bricks that sit flush to the wall that provide a cavity nesting habitat for swifts and other cavity nesting birds. Surveys show species include House martins, starlings, House sparrows, nuthatch, blue tit, coal tit and wren. Why swift bricks are urgently and uniquely essential Without swift bricks there is no guaranteed nesting habitat for birds reliant on building cavities anywhere in the UK – and there never will be. We are inadvertently destroying their oldcavity nesting sites through renovation, demolition and insulation, while climate mitigation measures mean modern buildings will never provide natural homes for birds. https://hannahbournetaylor.com/ Don't be such a pompous bore. She is doing something to improve the world around us, what does it matter what social class she is from? The despicable Michael Gove offered support then did nothing. The current government, despite supposed concern for the environment, also failed to support the campaign. She took the trouble to write back to me when I asked a question. But carry on poking fun at honourable people while our surroundings decay.
