What aspects of living in Charlton or being part of this community do you enjoy most? Are there local places, events, organisations, or experiences you think others should know about? I’m curious to hear what residents appreciate and why.

    Personally I spend as least time as possible in SE7, 90 minutes on a Saturday and some Tuesday evenings is enough for me. Then I’m back to sunny East Sussex. I’ve also heard that most away fans want to leave as soon as they have arrived.

    Welcome to the forum cherwana.

    Good timing really as I've been asking myself similar questions. Always feels like we will get spanked every week which is a bit wearing. Fortunately we have improving relations with Millwall fc thanks to this site. It's nice to share the glow of the relative success of our local neighbours, just down the road. The obvious next step would be some organised cultural exchange trips but it's just shyness that holds us back I think. We should be creating new memories, not constantly re-living the old ones.

    You're missing a lot, @LargeAddick.

    We live 50 or 60 miles away these days, but the halfway point in terms of time on the journey home is the Blackwall Tunnel.

    We enjoy creeping along the lower road, cutting up others around the Angerstein Hotel and fighting to join the slow moving traffic on the Tunnel approach.

    Add in a glimpse of IKEA, a mournful look at the old Molassine building (now Brenntag) and the opportunity to pay the toll charges and you have the perfect day out.

    Let's create some new memories by beating Millwall FFS.

    My posts.

    Sometimes I read them back to myself and really wonder how I won the lottery of life to be such and intelligent, astute, funny individual.

    I also enjoy sharing all my superior knowledge with fellow lifers to educate them whether they appreciate it or not.

    Any thread about politics, where everyone is rational and they all get along without it ever descending into an argument.

    What I love most about living in Charlton Kings is the proper village community feel, whilst still being only a stone's throw from the centre of Cheltenham.

    It's ok but sports wise it's lacking a bit, though it does have a lido..

    I'd be interested in that.

    Our miniature schnauzer is pretty good but needs more help with her recall.
