Crystal Palace Park – Through the lens of Trish Anderson
We are very lucky to have the magnificent Crystal Palace Park as our very own extended back garden. It’s a beautiful space, with woods, lakes, historic artefacts and sports facilities. In fact, all it seems to lack is a big glass building… It attracts many people from all over London and beyond to enjoy its…

Tick, Tick… Boom! – A Review
Jon Preston reviews the latest offering at BHT I have just acquired a Smart Phone. I’d resisted one for years. Decades, even. However, my mum died in August and I now know, deeply, how life ends. I also know I’ve still got lots to achieve. As far as conquering Smart Phones goes, why wait? Suddenly,…

So it was with slight trepidation that I accepted my neighbour Guy’s invitation to watch his production of Will Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night at…

Penge pops up on the small screen
Rather surprisingly perhaps for a little place in deepest South London, Penge has pushed itself to the front of the queue for filming TV shows in recent months.

Nowadays, Penge makes its own laughs and the local Rat Run Productions was born from a mutual love of improvisation and sketch comedy. A group of Penge based actors, they decided to…
