I usually cycle to Herne Hill and get the train to St Pancras or you can do the same from Denmark Hill (obviously both stations can be got to by bus). My guaranteed quickest route is cycle to Brixton then Victoria Line to KX. Quicker because of the regularity of tube departures but not as pleasant as the train. If you're travelling with lots of luggage and late at night or early in the morning then the 63 bus is a pretty good bet and once you're on, you're on (goes from Peckham Rye, FHR).


I can highly recommend the City Mapper ap which is real time and adjusts as you move. Very good for our option rich success poor transport situation.

Or even train from East Dulwich to Tulse Hill and change for Thameslink direct to St Pancras. As long as you don't leave the station Oyster will never know you ventured into Zone 3 temporarily! :)


The other way round is easy as its on the same platform island.

Have you got any advice on safe places to leave a bike in Brixton? I would cycle here more often, except I don't' really like leaving my bike there and don't want to carry multiple locks.

Megabus is full of students - is there a better way ?

I just lock it up on the racks outside the station and have been for years. I use a decent d-lock and have an integral lock on the wheel. The only problem I have had is when I left it there for 4 days and my saddle was stolen. My bike is second hand and covered in markings from 2 bike identification schemes which might help (that, at least, was the idea).

    • The country didn't "hate Corbyn". Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer, if memory serves, and it was only due to our weird electoral system that they didn't win the previous election. Any hatred of Corbyn was whipped up by the right wing press. The Labour Party has completely lost its way. It doesn't seem to know what it stands for any more, and its members have deserted it in droves. Including me. Anyway, this is probably for the lounge, not being directly relevant to the subject of the thread.
    • Agree but Labour made a far worse start and the wheels seem to be falling off spectacularly quickly. Whatever the reason for Reeves' tears it made the markets very jittery and now there is real doubt about how much longer she will last but Starmer cannot afford to lose her - I think they are both toast and the likes of Rayner and Streeting will be licking their chops. A bit like what is happening with Cllr McAsh locally the internal politics of the Labour party always are the real driver of policy, direction and execution and for a government with such a huge majority to be struggling so much so early is really worrying. We should all be very scared because this is paving the way for Reform and a leadership challenge or swing to the farther-left within Labour would be an unmitigated disaster - we had another term of Boris because the country hated Corbyn and his far-left ideology and the far-left Labour may see a leadership challenge as their only feasible way to take the reigns - a bit like Cllr McAsh and his Momentum buddies.
    • He has been around for a few months now and looks so sad and unhappy   ,he is coming into the gardens at the top end of  Upland and  Dunstans Roads .Just wondered if he is owned as he is not neutered and keeps getting into fights with cats .
    • Starting with Brexit, all the way through to drunken lock down parties, and then finishing on Liz Truss' 'mini budget', I would say it was fairly disastrous from start to finish.
