This Is Local London

The changes are due to engineering work and will affect trains from Monday to Friday (June 9 to June 13).

We have outlined and simplified the details so you can plan your journey this weekend.

Monday to Thursday (June 9 to June 12):

Engineering work is taking place between South Croydon and Oxted, closing all lines overnight from Monday evening until Friday morning.

From 10.45pm until the end of service each night, trains will not run between London Victoria and East Grinstead or between London Bridge and Crowborough or Uckfield.

Marjama Osman was found injured in Firth Road just after 9am on May 31.

The 26-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after.

Today (June 6), Simon Hinsta Ghebremedhin, 33, of Streatham High Road, was charged with murder.

Ghebremedhin was also charged with possession of a class B drug and will appear at Thames Magistrates Court on June 7.

A 32-year-old man was also arrested on suspicion of murder and has since been bailed as enquiries continue.

Their cases, concluded between May 14 and May 22 2025, involved motorists and residents from Eltham, Streatham Hill, Crayford, Welling, Bexleyheath and even Chatham.

Shariff Mohammed, 53, of Sandling Rise, Eltham must pay £240 in a fine, costs and a surcharge for exceeding the 40 mph limit on the A20 Sidcup By-Pass on July 11, 2024.

His licence was endorsed with three penalty points when the matter was dealt with on May 21, 2025.

The changes are due to engineering work or seasonal changes.

Today (Bank Holiday Monday – May 26):

After 11.45pm tonight, buses will replace trains between East Croydon, Purley and Caterham and Tattenham Corner.

The Streatham and Croydon North MP visited Streatham Hill Theatre last Friday (May 16).

It comes amid concerns from local campaigners about plans for a church to permanently take over the venue.

Ruach City Church, a non-denominational Pentecostal church with sites in Kilburn, Walthamstow and Birmingham, bought the venue two years ago.

It has now asked Lambeth Council to rubberstamp the theatre’s use as a place of worship.

Following his visit, Mr Reed said that it was a “pleasure” to see the “important work” the church was doing.

Around 70 firefighters and 10 fire engines were called to the blaze on Woodbourne Avenue at 4.39pm on yesterday (May 14).

The London Fire Brigade said part of the loft was alight, and seven people managed to leave the building before crews arrived.

No injuries have been reported.

A 32-metre turntable ladder was used as a water tower to help extinguish the flames from above.

Crews from Tooting, Norbury, West Norwood and nearby stations attended the scene.

The fire was brought under control by 7.31pm.

Transport for London (TfL) is pressing ahead with the project, which will make changes to the road between Sternhold Avenue and Holmewood Road, five years after it was first proposed.

The scheme will see new pedestrian crossings and cycle lanes built, while some parking bays will be removed to clear bus lanes of obstructions.

Transport bosses claim that the changes will make it “easier, safer and more pleasant” for people to walk and cycle in the area.

Firearms officer Martyn Blake shot the 24-year-old in Streatham in September 2022 after Mr Kaba tried to ram his way past police cars that had hemmed him in.

Blake, 41, was acquitted of murder following a trial at the Old Bailey in October 2024.

But the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has decided there is a question whether the officer’s use of force was excessive and has instructed the Metropolitan Police to hold a gross misconduct hearing.

The incidents unfolded between Friday (April 25) and Saturday (April 26) in Archway, Norbury, Streatham and Twickenham.

This only includes incidents that Newsquest London is aware of and has reported on.

Information about each incident is from the Metropolitan Police.
