Just to address the people questioning the popularity and usage of Carnegie library, I was a regular user and have been for many years. They have a regular adult improver reading group, chess club, gallery, yoga groups and many other events that the librarians have worked so hard to plan and run for all the community. Also the baby/toddler story and singalong on Fridays which some days had 60 kids plus parents making it difficult to even get in. The last 3 years at the hands of these dedicated librarians had meant that in terms of borrower numbers and users, this is actually one of the most used libraries in the borough. So yes, the library is very, very busy.

I just got rid of a glut of decent excess underwear. Traid have a home collection service and take all sorts of clothes that are in a decent condition and very handy if you can't get out or travel far.

Does anyone know if there is a French speaking nursery in the local area? I thought there was one based in Crystal Palace but I can't seem to find the details now. I'd be interested in French speaking story or singalong baby groups as well. Lastly, if anyone knows of a French free school locally or plans to open one I'd be very interested in hearing about it. Many thanks

This makes me happy. I went into EDD once to buy bread and once was was enough. Rudest staff ever. Ignored me in the queue for an age then eventually served me very, very begrudgingly. Very foolish given all the amazing places to get delicious food in ED.
