Telerferscot Primary School OFSTED outstanding in all areas

Really pleased to hear that the primary school my children went to has just received a well deserved OFSTED outstanding rating in all areas.

Thought might be of interest for those considering a primary school in Balham

Re: Lambeth: TfL have announced a major overhaul for Streatham Hill

Yes, the Streatham LTN was paused because it caused traffic chaos. However, think the council said that they would do the work on the A23, which is what this is, and then consider bringing it back in 😧 Local feeling is that this 'overhaul' is just going to create traffic chaos all over again, with t...

Re: Commuting from Clapham Common to Streatham and Clapham High School

My daughter is at the school but we're within walking distance. However, one of her friends who lives off of Abbeville Road does a mixture of school bus and public bus. She takes the number 50 bus from Streatham Hill back to Clapham if she has an after school club or fixture as the school bus only r...

Where do you go for new fitted carpets?

We need to get some new carpets in a couple of bedrooms which we have refurbed recently. In the past we've bought fitted carpets from John Lewis but they no longer sell carpets.  Any recommendations for where we should be looking? Also, ideally I'd like the same carpet throughout the upstairs for vi...

Attempted abduction of school girl

Saw that someone had eluded to this in a post asking about self defence class recommendations for teens and as I received details in my school WhatsApp groups thought I'd share. This took place near Streatham Common at the end of last week: A young schoolgirl was followed home from Strathbrook Road ...

Streatham Wells LTN could be back

The six month suspension of the Streatham Wells LTN ends this Friday and councillors are reportedly planning to reintroduce it. Nooooo!!!!

Re: School VAT increase amounts

I can confirm the Streatham & Clapham one is correct as have a daughter there.

Interesting to see what other local independent schools are saying, especially as my son's school are yet to declare what their increase will be.

Re: Jackson for Hair, Balham

My teen recently had his hair cut at the Jacksons near to Charlotte Cave on the High Road, that's after he wasn't so impressed with the barbers he used to go to in Streatham Hill.  He showed the barber a photo of the look he wanted, the barber glanced at it and said, "sure", and 20 minutes...

Milk to open second branch in Balham

I've heard Milk are opening a second branch in Balham on Ritherdon Road. Judging by all the work currently going on at the old Love Triangle site, I assume it must be opening there. Good to have another brunch option in Balham, and might help with the weekend queues Milk gets at it's Hildreth Street...

Mayor of London reveals changes coming to Streatham LTN 'ASAP'

https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/mayor-of-london-reveals-changes-coming-to-streatham-ltn/ This can't come soon enough, and the bus 'train' pictured here just sums up why this LTN is not working.

Seeking planning approval to turn Love Triangle site into residential on Ritherdon Road

What do people think about the owners of the property, where Love Triangle once was on Ritherdon Road, Balham, seeking to turn the site into a 3 bedroom flat? Doesn't seem great for this to happen in the middle of a parade of shops, and if granted will other premises along this stretch follow suit? ...

Bedroom fitted cupboards

We're looking at getting some new fitted cupboards for my daughter's bedroom. At the moment she has Ikea ones which have been made to look as if they are built in. We received a quote from Sharps but it's rather on the pricey side - around £7K!  Anyone have any recommendations for something in betwe...

Re: Emmas mattresses, any good?

I used to wakeup with lower back pain every day until we changed our mattress for an Emma one. On that basis I would definitely recommend.

Plus, they have a really great returns policy if you decide it's not for you after trying it out for six months or something!
