Attempting to regain a little fitness I?ve been alternating between staggering around Peckham Rye and Dulwich Park. DP is flatter and has less traffic fumes, the Rye seems friendlier, with runners who actually smile back. Any thoughts? And has anyone worked out how far a lap round either park is?

Talking of running, is Peckham Rye dodgy to run across at night? I like nothing better than late night running at about 10pm after I finish work. Went round the rye last night but stuck to the perimieter road on the edge. Would I encounter crack heads and muggers if I ventured into the rye itself, or would I find peaceful tranquility?

I have regularly run (and walked) across the Rye in the dark. Normally a few dog owners, cyclists and the odd runner around. Never seen or heard of trouble - although this does not mean it is risk free, of course.

Ihe rye is completely open and reasonably well lit (which is not the case in the park part but that is locked after dark) so if you are at all concerned you can change direction easily enough to avoid unwanted attention.

We often add a little extension to Nunhead Cemetery for a beautiful wild peaceful run with great views when you are puffed at the top. A great loop takes in Dulwich park, P Rye Park and Nunhead Cemetery. Probably about 10km. Incidentally Nunhead Cemetery has its lovely annual open day tomorrow, saturday.

    • Atanas did a brilliant job on my bathroom renovation. Nothing was too much trouble and they were clean and tidy. Highly recommend.
    • If we accept what the OP has written, and it does seem credible, the father did not respond to the incident appropriately. His child was out of his line of sight when the OP was hit from behind by the child on a bike. Many of us, having been startled like this, might express some displeasure. Rather than a sincere and concerned apology, it sounds as though the father instead attempted to paint the OP as the problem, even laughing at them. I don't know what kind of message that would send to his child but doubt it is a good one. 
    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.
