Crystal Palace/Sydenham/Penge Chitter Chatter

Bath is about ten times the size tbf - Henley is a bit small to be 'grand'. I'd say they're both pretty posh but Henley when the regatta is on is on another plane.

Stanley Halls in South Norwood has an open day today. This morning from 10am there is a public meeting called by People For Portland Road, who are looking at ways of improving the area more widely, and then, from 12:30, the Stanley Lives exhibition is there. This exhibition is all about the history of the halls and shows why local people are working to take over the running of the halls, for the benefit of the local community.

Also from 12:30, there are free tours of the halls, so people can see what's there (you may be surprised!) and see the building works and hear the plans for future use.

Oh - why was that not posted earlier?

How odd...

Sorry, guys, not sure what happened....

But it is not too late for the Open Day/tours.

Although I don't think I am going because I just don't feel well.

I went to the meeting at Stanley Halls (found out about it on Friday). It was about regeneration - quite interesting. Steve Reed definitely has the experience to sort SE25 out.

Yep - sounds good.

if he has the same levels of success that he had in brixton then you're laughing. well, you're probably not. you're probably wondering where all your services have gone.

If anyone is interested in Stanley Halls, we are organising a Steve Knightley gig next Wednesday (5 February).

Details on this thread - http://www.urban75.net/forums/threads/steve-knightley-gig-at-stanley-halls.320130/

 

[boohoo]

So next drinks then...... Me76 ? Or anyone else ideas for places the suburbanites can go for drinks? Early March?

 

[TruXta]

Any decent places on the west side of the hill? Like Crown Dale/nether parts of West Norwood? Or is that out of bounds?

 

[boohoo]

The Park on Elder Road? (nr Norwood Park) 432 or 417 bus?

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Weren't the drinks before last over there? Maybe it's time to go to Penge.

 

[Maggot]

If I organised Bromley Drinks would anyone come? Maybe Beckenham would work better.

Beckenham eh? Only question is where. Jolly Woodman is too far up its own jacksie. Anywhere near Beckenham Junction station is a big fat no. The Coach and Horses isn't too bad? The George is meh.

Can you tell I'm not a huge fan of Beckenham?

Spoons? They've always got some kegs of Late Knights on.

 

[TruXta]

Personally I'd not mind Bromley, I've never been.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Yeah why not? I expect it's quite cheap.

 

[TruXta]

Yeah why not? I expect it's quite cheap.

It's dead cheap, and by far the liveliest pub in Penge. Tbf I quite like it.

And yeah, drinks before last was at the Conquering Hero on Beulah Hill. Nice spot, bit of a ballache to get home from considering it's not that far as the crow flies.

You know much more about Beckenham pubs than I do. I rarely go drinking there.


The main problem with Bromley is that there aren't any good pubs near Bromley South station.
