Watch yourselves as you cycle along Upland Road near its junction with Crystal Palace Road


Almost hit by a pallet loader reversing out into the road with no banksman


Probably part of the construction industry attempt to export casualties from the building site to surrounding roads!!

Yes that stretch of road is increasingly comandeered by developers/ builders on both sides. At times the road is totally blocked by various builder lorries parked up both sides on the road, since the sites face each other. It is dangerous for pedestrians and especially for the elderly, disabled and mums pushing buggies. I also feel very sorry for the shops along that parade whose trade must be affected.


The larger site is large and has already been allowed to temporarily take over the whole footpath. Why then is it allowed to park endless large vehicles and equipment outside the temporary barrier blocking the road? Why has permission been given for two different builds, right opposite each other, to go ahead simultaneously, especially when both are treating the public highway as an extension of their respective building sites?

Yes first mate it has become worse since the glass front shop type property on the right rather than the building on the left has started to be developed. We have noticed this on the occasions we have come past there. It is the same near us on Lordship Lane by Townley Road.Both these sites are MYN developments and a quick search shows that they transgress quite a bit. We found an improvement notice by southwark for Barry Road and even a prohibition notice served by Islington council earlier in the year. Hope you do keep an eye on this Mr. Barber before something serious happens.

Thanks all - perhaps we ought to ask those involved in the Southwark Cyclists / TFL Road works ride to extend the range to poor management of Southwark TM's (temproary measures)....

    • Do check out changing at Lille if it's possible, as is much easier than changing stations in Paris.  I did London to Montpellier changing at Lille which was very straightforward but it was a little while ago.
    • We go to the South of France by train most summers.   It is pretty easy and you get to arrive right in the centre of the city.  TGVs are generally efficient, reliable and comfortable. Unfortunately the direct London to Marseille Eurostar train seems to have been a  victim of Brexit so you have to change in Paris - most South bound service go from  Gare de Lyon - about a 15 min RER rise from Gare du Nord. Allow plenty of time travelling back from Gare du Nord, it always was horrid but has reach new levels of chaos since Brexit. I would recommend, at least for the home leg, booking the entire journey through Eurostar. That way if your French train is delayed or cancelled and you miss your Eurostar connection back to London,  Eurostar will get you on to a different train home. As for destinations - there is a lot of the South of Fra.ce to choose from.  What are you looking for?     Also Ouigo trains can be a cheaper option than TGVs, but watch out you have to pay extra for things like luggage and seat reservations.  Also they sometimes stop at TGV stations outside the city centre.
    • Do what I do and stick some of these folk on your ignore list.  It's great fun, they just rant away and you will be totally oblivious to it.
