There are loads of options around ED. There’s an app called ZapMap, which is a good place to start, it’ll show you all of the local charging spots.

best value / most convenient are chargers built into lampposts. There are tons of these around ED, so hopefully there will be some local to you. They are slow (7kw) but relatively cheap for charging overnight.

The source London chargers are fine, but you do need to sign up via their website. You can start charging with your phone.

if you want rapid/ultra rapid chargers, Tessa Jowel Health Centre have 2, and a couple of options in Forest Hill on the south circular. These are generally quite expensive.

The Sainsbury’s ones have not worked in a very long time.

Hope that helps

We use Electroverse, which lets you charge across most of the networks. As Octopus Energy customers it’s also added directly to our energy bill which is handy. I tend to use the char.gy lamppost chargers as there are more of those around our house.
 

Source has a really aggressive idling charge given they are slow chargers - kicking in after 10 mins rather than after 24hrs with chargy - I tend to leave our car to charge overnight once a week on a schedule to take advantage of chargy’s overnight rate. That wouldn’t work with Source. 
 

When I need a faster charger to fill up before a long trip the ones at Tessa Jowell are handy but more expensive than the slow onstreet ones. Remember to register your licence plate when you arrive to avoid a parking fine.

    • I wonder if anyone can help.  My age 16 child has been forced to leave school due to prolonged ill health, onset after Covid.  It’s incredibly isolating and I was wondering if they are any local clubs (art perhaps) for her age group, or just meet ups in the area- perhaps other children out of school/ home educated who would be keen to meet.  Anything very active is out of the question- so sports wouldn’t be possible.  I’d be very interested in speaking to other parents in my position about how they manage.  
    • I inherited an electric awning.  It's fab in this extreme weather in my south facing garden. Canvas now decrepit and needs replacing.  Over stretched. Anyone done this - know of anyone who can do this? Advice much appreciated. K.
    • I think that presumption's a false one and that there's no such requirement.  If in doubt try asking 'Who can make a planning application?'   So it's firm evidence at most of just their belief that they might be  setting up shop there.  Putting in an early anticipatory application for their display signage, to lessen any dead time waiting for the permission, might well be a worthwhile expense.  They don't seem to have withdrawn the application, so are at least presumably still interested in taking over the premises.
    • We had Bunny Bowket who smelt, but in our sixth form field trip turned into a nice father type.  But that wasn't Peckham Manor.  Here's a nice link https://www.peckhamsociety.org.uk/?p=279
