Was the traffic normal this morning to Elephant?


Recommended Posts

I suspect the parking would be terrible. I park at a family's off street parking space.


I do recommend the half car/train, half walk approach to work. It's the only exercise I do but better than nothing which I did before. A friend of mine was killed cycling into work, so personally that's not an option for me.


Had a drink last night, so i didn't drive home. When that happens, I get the train to London bridge and walk along southbank thames to work, crossing the river at st paul's. It's a really lovely walk.

I get a car into work (which starts at 0500) which is very welcome.

Going home, if you are able to get to Victoria easily I would use the frequent services Denmark Hill or Peckham Rye (about 9 - 12 minutes) and then continue by bus. It's a bit of a faff to go Tube>>Rail>>Bus and it is more expensive than taking the bus alone, but it's quicker and more reliable, in my experience.

    • I would not describe the area as very gentrified, esp not the bit that was built 30 years ago. It's human scale, low rise flats and terraces mixed on cul de sacs for the most part, but it's not knee deep in Gail's and, candle shops and luxury butchers. The cluster of new blocks of flats near the new Decathlon and Canada Water tube is shinier- but tbh that's just what modern blocks of flats look like these days. Everything gets promoted by estate agents as luxury. More housing is good, whatever the type - dumping supply on the market always helps. I am sure there will be adequate provision for pizza restaurants and entertainment in the new mixed use development. And don't forget everyone's favourite Dulwich Library also has a ~free~ film club for adults: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/libraries/adults/library-activities-for-adults
    • Odd comment about high end development at Surrey Quays - when the docks went most of the area became very gentrified, thirty plus years ago   There's the odd bit of old school working class left.   Go a mile the other way, and very old school, but I don't see anyone reminiscing about closed pubs off Trundleys Road and the like ,  the loss of New Cross Greyhound stadium or the Venue 
    • Oru space have a chatty Wednesday and offer free mediation classes also on Wednesday. Worth checking out for interaction and meeting new people.
