Just a heads up that Lordship Lane is closed between the Court Lane and the Grove Tavern, I think due to a traffic accident (judging by number of ambulances early this am). As a consequence, all buses and traffic are being diverted around Melford and Underhill (where there are traffic works) and as a result it is carnage. Two double decker buses coming opposite ways have been stuck opposite each other on Melford for about 15 mins as they can't get past the parked cars and can't reverse. Avoid if possible.

Updated to say that a neighbour has moved their car and traffic is now flowing again, but it's still pretty busy.


To be fair, I'm not sure that opening up Court Lane and the Village Junction would help the 197, 185 and 176 get through to Forest Hill from LL, but it definitely means that the only available route for all traffic right now is around these streets. I didn't enjoy leaving the house on my bike today.

Some kind of permeable barrier, that emergency vehicles and traffic could cross when directed by a police officer, you mean?

Thank you - on bus !

Well there was when I went through about 9am. Pedestrians and cyclists were allowed through on the pavement. Sympathies to those who really needed to drive round.

    • Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next. 
    • IMO, Sealy, the best nights sleep you'll ever have.  
    • I don’t know what the shop was originally next to the big St Christopher’s but if Holland and Barrett are taking it over then surely it’s good to have a choice on Lordship Lane? The Camberwell H&B is always empty but the Brixton branch busy.  I remember when the Marks & Spencer food shop was Iceland? Now the M&S is a very busy store and at the time regenerated the high street!
    • Nor would I have done, but it came up when I googled John Lewis reviews. Do you not trust TrustPilot reviews? Even allowing for the fact that many people only post reviews when they have had poor service, 27% one star reviews is indicative of something wrong, I would say. That's 27% of 76,392 reviews. That's an awful lot of people who don't  think the service they got from John Lewis was even worth two stars, let alone more. Screenshot attached.
