Dulwich road closed due to burst pipe – after 11 hours of flooding
Park Hall Road is currently expected to remain closed for repairs until this Saturday

A road was closed at the weekend 11 hours after a burst pipe flooded a junction in Dulwich,
Traffic was diverted from Park Hall Road at 9.30pm after a water main – seven inches in diameter was punctured outside the Gipsy Hill Telephone Exchange.
A member of the repair crew from Thames Water said the burst took place at approximately 10am.
The water leaked through cracks in the kerb on each side of the vehicle entrance to the exchange and left a ten-metre stretch of the road three inches underwater, which disrupted traffic.
The repair crew said the burst was likely caused either by ground movement or weathering over time.
One worker added: “It’s the old Victorian pipes.”

The incident comes nine months after a burst caused evacuations due to fears of roads collapsing in Bermondsey and fourteen months after a burst in Dulwich left households in Sydenham and Crystal Palace without running water for three days.
London’s pipes burst 36,000 times from 2011 to 2018, which the then head of networks at Thames Water attributed in part to the city’s clay soil eroding the pipes.
Park Hall Road is currently expected to remain closed for repairs until this Saturday.

The absolute audacity of these thieves in Central London! Watch how quickly these two (or maybe three) men work together to sn**ch suitcases from an open boot outside Kings Cross station. The victims are literally getting into the car mere feet away and don’t notice a thing. It’s absolutely wild how comfortable thieves have become operating in plain sight

🚨 This is NOT okay. Where’s the social care ? That loves to take child away from working parents and this situation it’s out of control they don’t do nothing

A child being given a balloon filled with nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”), especially with an adult’s involvement, raises serious concerns about safety and responsibility.

What may seem like harmless fun can carry real risks—particularly for children. Nitrous oxide can lead to oxygen deprivation, vitamin B12 deficiency, nerve damage, and neurological issues. In some cases, the consequences can be long-term or even life-threatening.

Children rely on adults to protect them, not expose them to harm. Situations like this should not be ignored.

We need greater awareness, accountability, and action to ensure children are kept safe. If you agree, speak up.

All-weather pitch for Dulwich Hamlet FC in south London

A new 4,000-seat football stadium is set to be built in south London, as reported by our sister title London Now.
The redevelopment of Dulwich Hamlet FC’s historic Champion Hill ground has been approved by Southwark Council, promising a fresh start for the club and its supporters with improved facilities and a new pitch.
The long-awaited plans will replace the ageing astroturf with an all-weather pitch, which will also be available for community use on non-match days

It’s also really important to the council and the community that this arrangement includes access to the new facilities outside of matchdays and new kickabout spaces, the preservation of current green space, and of course more vital new housing for the borough.”

The wider scheme also includes 219 new homes and a new kickabout space for public use.
Southwark Council has confirmed that Greendale Playing Fields, which are close to the site, will not be directly affected by the development and will remain protected as open green space.

Southwark Council has confirmed that Greendale Playing Fields, which are close to the site, will not be directly affected by the development and will remain protected as open green space.

Dulwich Hamlet FC has called the borough home for 123 years, and club leaders say the stadium will help secure their future for generations to come.

Ben Clasper, chairman of Dulwich Hamlet FC, said: “The cabinet decision to approve the disposal of land is the final piece of a puzzle we have been trying to solve for many years to regenerate the area, deliver new housing and secure the long-term future of our community football club.
“With this approval, the building of the new stadium will return the club to the site we were first able to call our own home more than a hundred years ago and the building of new homes will contribute to meeting the critical demand for housing in Southwark.”

Homes have been evacuated after a huge fire above a shop on a London high street.
Around 100 firefighters are at the scene of the fire in a two-storey terraced building on Penge High Street in south east London.
London Fire Brigade were first called at 4.30am and there are 15 fire engines at the scene.
A large part of the ground floor, home to a branch of Poundland, is alight.
Neighbouring properties have been evacuated ‘as a precaution’ and people in the area are being advised to keep their doors and windows closed.
Penge High Street is closed due to the number of fire engines at the scene. Drivers are being advised to avoid the area.

A video recorded nearby shows a tall plume of dark smoke billowing into the sky as sunrise starts to approach.
Firefighters are still at the scene now the sun has fully risen.
Water is being pumped onto the fire from a crane above the building, as well as through the shop’s front windows.
All of the windows have blown out and there is serious smoke damage to the Poundland sign on the front of the building.
The fire brigade says the cause of the fire is ‘not known at this stage’.
Crews from Beckenham, Forest Hill, Woodside, West Norwood and other surrounding stations have been called to the scene this morning.
A statement from the fire brigade said: ‘Fire crews are using a 32metre turntable ladder as a water tower to help extinguish the fire from above, and the brigade’s drone team is providing the incident commander with a greater situational awareness of the fire.’
