    Michael Eisner the former head of Disney?

    That's pretty random!
    Sounds like a Mickey Mouse story to me.

    I can learn to live with the Valley being painted gold.

    He may even be persuaded to build a wall round Peckham. I'm trying to imagine JJ with that hairdo and orange skin

    Peckham serves a purpose. It makes you grateful for where you live that it's not Peckham.
    I thought that was Catford.
    Lewisham is not great either.

    Do me a favour!
    You can't be seriously comparing Peckham with Catford...
    true Catford has gone down hill somewhat and is nothing like the place it once was but its still a cut way above Peckham.

    Excuse me!

    It's rumoured, that my family, on my dads side (huguenots) fled France, landed and marched into Peckham and claimed it as their own. Only to be swindled out of it by some dodgy solicitor.

    It still hurts every time I drive through the place, to think I could of been King of the bloody shit hole!
    You may call him a pettyfogging viper, but that lawyer saved your family from a fate worse than...

    You should thank your lucky stars.
    True, I repent.

    Peckham now the trendiest palace to live in London according to the radio.
    It has a pub called John the Unicorn. That's far trendier than The Catford Ram.
    It also has a bar that was once a butchers shop, it is called the four quarters.
    The Rye Hotel a long standing gastro pub and packed for the home international rugby, the white Horse is now a gastro pub as well. peckham is changing.

    The Catford Ram is now called the Black Cat, presumably in homage to the 20-foot fibreglass cat that (some) locals are petitioning the council to save, rather than a Premiership team who are even worse than the Nigels.

    I believe it was renamed after one too many drugs busts.

    Catford does also boast the Catford Constitutional Club, the old Tory club reopened as a boozer complete with original decor.

    But the main difference between the two is that high-earning professional couples can still afford a house in Catford, rather than a flat in Brockley or a cupboard in Peckham. (This was a conversation I had with said couple in the CCC a few months back).

    Maybe it's an age thing (don't know your age), but I would hope to stretch to afford a nice house in Peckham in the coming years - with the art scene, nightlife, restaurants etc

    I personally couldn't think of anything more dull than moving back to Sidcup, Bexleyheath, Woolwich, Thamesmead etc etc

    Each to their own, innit.

    Because to get to Greenwich you have to be on the DLR (which only goes to Lewisham) or the slow train line along the Thames (Deptford, Charlton, Woolwich, Plumstead, Abbey Wood, Erith etc). Or you take a bus.

    You could count North Greenwich tube which calls at Rotherhithe and Bermondsey, but doesn't really go to anywhere that you might think of as Greenwich.

    For access to Greenwich from most of SE London, your easiest route is to change at Lewisham.

    This. Greenwich is a great place, just an absolute balls to get to, for what it's worth it's basically in the city or east London

    Not from Woolwich etc etc etc.

    Regardless of the notion that its inaccessible which it isn't. Why on earth would anyone want Lewisham to represent the idea of a "capital of SE London when Greenwich is a far nicer and well known place ?

    The only South East London centre included in the highest tier (metropolitan) in the London Plan is Bromley. Lewisham is a second tier 'major centre' along with the likes of Orpington, Woolwich, Bexleyheath, Eltham and Catford. West and East Greenwich are separate third tier 'district' centres.

    Not that this has anything to do with who our next owners will be...............
