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.
Doing very (Camber)well indeed
Published by Peter | Filed under General
Let me begin with a few apologies:
- The template of this blog is horrible. I’ve only just installed WordPress and haven’t had time to change it yet, but wanted to at least get this blog underway.
- That pun in the title was rotten, and I’ll try to refrain from them again.
That taken care of, I’ll start the CamberwellOnline blog.
When I first moved to London, in 1995, I lived in Camberwell. I had a flat on the corner of Rainbow Street with my then-girlfriend, and after a little while I got a job at the Town Hall.
Later I moved to Knatchbull Road and although I moved away in late 1997 I kept working at the Town Hall until the summer of 1999.
And now I’m back. I moved into Shenley Road with my wife just over two weeks ago, and was smitten with the place all over again.
Camberwell’s changed a lot in the last five years, but also kept it’s distinctive character. I want to write about that character; about it’s restaurants and bars, it’s mix of hip and seeedy, it’s landmarks and eyesores. It’s everything.
This is what the CamberwellOnline Blog is for; a chronicle of the place and of my life in it.
