The man who writes the history books on Peckham, and is the editor of The Peckham Society News (which last year came second in a national magazine award for locally produced magazines), Mr John Beesley, lives near Copleston Road. If he doesn't know, I don't know who will, except for people who know, that is... www.peckhamsociety.org

Copleston Road is named after my great grandmother, Dame Eliza Copleston. The road was named after her by the man who built it. She was a great beauty of her day, and Lord Michael of Popadopalot became completely transfixed by her enormous eyes and the perfect shape of her ankle. It caused a terrific scandal at the time and is best left alone as she was a married lady with two young children at the time...


Lord Plopalot's behaviour was a complete disgrace I have heard, and I believe that he was run out of town by my grandfather. He is rumoured to have eventually made a fortune selling hair tonic before being strung up by the itinerants!

    • I have had this many times at Superdrugs on LL. I find it disorganised and many times I was yelled at 'we are closing in 5 min' when I entered after work on my way home. I don't mind being told that they are closing soon, but not the way they did it.  I try to avoid it now and go to the store in Peckham which I find fab with bigger selection and prices correctly noted. 
    • Jo Berry and her inspirational story come tomorrow on PECKHAM PODCAST. If you're not familiar with it, try it. An audience of locals were rapt. Their Q+A ran an hour. Available from midday: https://www.youtube.com/@PECKHAMPODCAST-r2f
    • Couldn't agree more with the recommendations for Greg and Raven Plumbing & Heating. Swift and accurate communications, speedy diagnosis of the issue with our ancient boiler, and a well-priced solution identified and put in place. All topped by friendly and helpful face-to-face interactions with Greg and his team. Thanks again, guys!
    • Not sure if this has already been posted, but players are needed for a league that is being put on by Go Mammoth. Players can sign up as a team or individuals for a Men's Monday Nights or a Mixed Tuesday Nights league. It's on a new indoor pitch apparently. https://www.gomammoth.co.uk/5-a-side-football/dulwich-north/?leagueid=2374
