Welcome to the Camberwell Online blog, a place for free and spirited exchange on anything with even a tangential connection to the South-East London district.
Caught in the crossfire
Published by Peter | Filed under General
I hope that bad news really does come in threes, and that I haven’t chosen to move back to South London in the middle of a gang feud.
Following on from the stabbing and execution I reported before, comes the news that the fire at Pharoahs pub is believed to be deliberately started, and could have something to do with firearms.
The fire happened last Friday night between 12.30am and 5.00am; it’s pretty remarkable that I didn’t hear anything, because it’s near my flat (conveniently, it’s also practically next door to the fire station). When the wife and I took a walk to Peckham on Saturday we saw the police cars and tape sealing off the road, and both thought ‘Who’s been killed now?’. We were relieved to find out it was just a fire - but now the story about it being linked to gun crime has been reported in the newspapers.
Fingers crossed this is just an isolated incident.
