Crystal Palace/Sydenham/Penge Chitter Chatter

[tommers]

Thanks for the replies.

Can we get to both Victoria station and London Bridge station from Sydenham Hill?

You can from crystal palace and gipsy hill.

 

[boohoo]

I think you just volunteered to organise...

Ok, trip to the Conquering hero on Beulah Hill (buses 468, 196 and 249)?

Weekday or weekend? I think they have a pub quiz on a Thursday.

Wot do ya reckon? gaijingirl Miss-Shelf el-ahrairah Monkeygrinder's Organ Guineveretoo

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Pub quiz sounds good.

 

[el-ahrairah]

PUB QUIZ!

 

[boohoo]

I will check it's on. I can do the 19th.

 

[el-ahrairah]

i think i can do the 19th too

 

[Miss-Shelf]

If I'm out at Khans on 17th I probably can't do 19th as well but will reserve decision till the 18th and see how knackered I am

 

[TruXta]

I can likely make the 19th.

 

[gaijingirl]

Overground from Sydenham or Penge West is the best bet for London Bridge.

Oh I see. I SEE. It's like that is it? FINE.

And don't you wink suggestively at me like that.

Oh go on then.

Overground from Sydenham or Penge West is the best bet for London Bridge.

If you mean LOROL aka LOOROLL aka London Overground, they don't go to London Bridge. I do. But you ain't getting on my train, no way.

No I mean overground trains that stop at those stations, the London Overground doesn't go to London Bridge (you change at New Cross Gate).

 

[gaijingirl]

and now flipping gaijinboy is grumbling about a work do of some sort. Anyway, I'll get a babysitter if needs be. I'll see how it all pans out.

 

[TruXta]

Flip his nads.

 

[RubyToogood]

Can't do Thursday evenings due to band practice.

 

[gaijingirl]

Can't do Thursday evenings due to band practice.

ah. ok.

 

[Guineveretoo]

I can't do that Thursday evening, as I have got The Grandson.

 

[boohoo]

Ok. I'll check with the pub about whether the quiz is on, otherwise I would suggest we head there anyway. And plan the next drinks on a day that isn't Thursday for those who can't come.

I will put a thread in Community (at some point....)

Here is the thread - post on it if you are planning to come along.... maybe I should add a poll...maybe...

 

[boohoo]

Anyone else coming out for drinks?

 

[TruXta]

Yes.

 

[Miss-Shelf]

Anyone else coming out for drinks?

its still a maybe - I have had a really difficult week in work and I am on my last legs
if I perk up tomorrow it may be possible - if not tomorrow soon again - good idea to keep momentum up with the south london drinks - good work

House prices in Crystal Palace area are on the way up, from what I can see. In fact, Foxtons has now established itself, which is not helping, imho.

My daughter lives in South Norwood, where house prices are a lot better than closer to Crystal Palace, but still readily accessible to the area. Some of their friends have just bought a house very similar to theirs, but at a ridiculously inflated price because it is near Crystal Palace.

Prices in Crystal Palace have really taken off. And they're getting ridiculously higher. There's been so much publicity in the Evening Standard and a certain agent is in the area that's why I think it's made prices go off the scale (but not as bad as Dalston and north London)...The smart move to do is rent/buy in a neighbouring area (e.g Gypsy hill Penge, Anerley, South Norwood, Crown Point or Thornton Heath). The cheapest area is South Norwood and Thornton Heath, but South Norwood is nicer and has better transport connections.

Sydenham's not particularly cheap tho is it? Penge and parts of Anerley certainly seems a lot cheaper.
