I hope they have relocated the overflow mortuary (from QMH) that was in there !!!AFKABartram said:@T_C_E the council has for the last couple of years been looking for a lease partner to turn the registry office (Sidcup Manor House) into a boutique hotel & spa0 -

I’ve probably 15-20 restaurants within walking distance I’d happily eat in. The stretch either side of the station is excellent for variety - Curry Mahal, Chez Pascal, Hello Burger, Toscana, The Elephant, El Bandito, Sophie’s Choice, Appleyard, Mario’s Pizza, Jalsha. That’s 10 restaurants in 200 yards and 9 different cuisines, all reasonably priced.stop shouting said:

Great place, love it. Massively undervalued imo in comparison to other places for not having a tube / DLR link, yet you can get to London Bridge in less than 20 mins. Has good schools, loads of great restaurants, variation of bars, well positioned for A2 and A20, green spaces and less crime than other areas.orpingtonRED said:Out of curiousity what is Sidcup like these days? I know there is fuck all there but what is it like to live?
And the occassional police chase in the morning :-)
High St has all the chains (Prezzo, Pizza Express, Harvester) as well as good small ones like Walnuts, Mogul etc, couple of good tapas down Halfway St and Oval. Four decent micro pubs (Hangar, Hackney Carriage, Hoppers Hut, Halfway House) have popped up in last few years to compliment the existing pubs and are doing well.
Family run chippy in the High St that opened a couple of years ago is awesome. All thats missing is a decent Chinese.
im hungry now :-)
One thing I miss about us staying at my mums when our building works were going on was being within spitting distance of the Halfway House, especially as we had a live in babysitter in my mum. The Turkish place a couple of doors along is pretty decent too.I'm in The Hangar tonight, then onto the Oval Brassiere for an Indian.
Have you tried The Appleyard yet?
My new local.2 -

I think I went to see Back to the Future at the pictures in Sidcup. Was a pleasant treat from the sticky carpet grot of Well Hall Odeon that I used to go to most of the time.floydroadfaithfull said:Used to go swimming and scuba training in lamorbey pool and fishing opposite in the glades and just an occasional visit i must add to the Marlow rooms
Even remember the cinema round the corner from the bill shop
Lovely times back in the day

My new local.
It's done great things for a tired parade of shops. The weekly quiz is always sold out.
My local is Halfway House.

The Hoedown looked good, but had the somme trip the following morning.

I spent a lot of time in Sidcup in late 90s and really used to like it. I actually looked at buying my 1st property there but it was quite expensive in comparison to other areas and i never understood why.AFKABartram said:
