Hi Edward. Where do you mean for the place/shop that initiated the upward movement?

Sadly even though Kent House is far nearer to Penge than Beckenham High St, the Spanish place is in BR3, so not a contender. We are a SE20 site and our poll reflects that.

Glad for Winston and the Bike shop -a man doing what he wanted to do. Glad that the Alex is on the go, and has shot to the top spot like a meteor. Sure the Bluebelle should have come top, and will google where the Nepali place is -”a few yards from the Alex”… as I have not been back for a few months. I wonder if Chris O’Shaughnessy would not like an award for his own literary endeavours?

Also -it might be good to reward the shop/café etc which initiated Penge’s upward movement. And -the Spanish place on the way to Clock House never seems to get a mention. Just off the cuff thoughts.

Always singing Penge’s praises – and wear my PTB bag with pride.
I will be sharing this post with my friends so they know it’s not just me that thinks we have some of the best places to be.

Can’t argue with any of that. Congratulations to all who fully deserve the awards that highlight Penge as the fantastic town it is, celebrating all cultures and diversity. I’d like to add a mention for Glenn Lawrence who also works tirelessly to bring together local events
