The worst in the area. Grangewood Park's play area is our go too now. Westow Park's not bad either.

Maple Road is such a great road....but why? I think its purely because of the street lamps! Funny what difference something like that can make

They reckon the Fox and Hounds on Kirkdale (Sydenham) is due to reopen pretty soon.

slight system overdrive
For those in the area (and those who can travel there), I recommend this play which is showing this week at the Bridge House https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/the-bridge-house-theatre/e-xrrjag
A friend of mine is involved but I thoroughly enjoyed it - a tale of modern alienation with class dynamics.

The lovely Kirkdale Bookshop in Sydenham was broken into at the weekend, and a large sum of cash was stolen.
There's a go fund me to help them out.
Or you could just buy some books.

That was a big old pig.

One Swiss dinosaur in Polly Gosling's anorak hood
That's sad to hear - I've been in there about ten times (it's a relatively recent discovery and is a great little boozer) and I've never seen the pig, I was beginning to think someone was having me on until pics shattered my doubt. 13 years old I think from a quick bit o' searching.

The one in Sydenham is run very badly, but at least it being in the corner of a retail park at Bell Green it is out of the way. Cant McDonalds just have 'dark kitchens' for those foolish enough to order a delivery which usually comes cold and with half the items missing? As i notice their TV adverts target 'McDelivery' heavily so it must be a corporate aim to shift most of the business that way.
They applied for just a delivery one in CP before but that was turned down and now they’re going for a full ‘restaurant’. Not sure why a dark kitchen couldn’t be more out the way like you say. I’ve been in a KFC and a Pret recently and the staff seemed openly hostile to customers. Can’t really blame them.

First I heard of it it was going to be at the old 'spoons; yesterday they're now saying the Poundland next to Sainsbury's if one of the local blogs is to be believed.
Quarter Pounders at Poundland? McDonald’s have the ‘under offer’ store on their property ‘menu’
The Poundland store next to Sainsbury’s on Westow Street is the site the McDonald’s burger chain have lined up as they make a second bid to move into the area, News From Crystal Palace …

Not that I needed much of an excuse to avoid Sainsbury's since their recent re-org but not wanting to go near the sickly McD's "aroma" will certainly help my fortitude.
Interesting. Thought it would be an empty one.First I heard of it it was going to be at the old 'spoons; yesterday they're now saying the Poundland next to Sainsbury's if one of the local blogs is to be believed.

The CP Sainsburys is never an enjoyable experience somehow, the Selhurst big one much better.

With today's imprisonment of Divon Henry-Campbell, Jamie Marshall, Jason Smith, Sorraviho Smith, Ryan Brown and Nyron John-Baptiste, hopefully a father and his family will now find some peace, and the streets will be slightly safer:
Six convicted for murder of Michael Jonas in Betts Park
Penge 'rapper' Nyron Jean Baptiste slaughtered two boys one year apart
Father finds peace as son's killers are jailed
Update on McDonalds on the Triangle:
I've just been informed that McDonalds will not be pursuing a new Westow Street site at this time. Thanks to everyone who has already contacted me about this to share their views.
I will, of course, continue to keep local residents informed as to any further developments on this issue.
