Jojo Maman Bebe is closing soon. A staff member said they don't know what will replace it, but it will be something falling under the planning category of food and drink.

Maybe The Yard/Crank in Peckham?

Does anyone know what Little Green Ark on North Cross Road is going to be? The name is on the shopfront but I?ve not seen any further info.

That sounds great, Sarah, thank you for organising it!

Thanks carebear for starting this thread! I'm expecting my first baby in mid-September and would love to link up with other parents. Jo

Thanks for the clarification, sillywoman. In that scenario would you then stay in the consultant-led unit and continue to labour there, or would you be able to be moved back to the midwife-led unit?

I asked my King's midwife about this, and she explained that a lot of women aren't eligible to use them (you have to be considered low risk), and of the people that are eligible a large number just aren't interested in using them for whatever reason (e.g. I believe you can't use them if you want an epidural, and many women would rather have the epidural). Of the remaining women that are eligible and want the rooms, a certain proportion will have last-minute complications that mean they either change their minds on the day or end up with a planned/emergency c-section instead. Therefore, if you want a birthing suite and are eligible for one and nothing unexpected happens in your pregnancy there will most likely be a suite available for you.

I'm also thinking about this! Does anyone know what the differences or pros/cons are between The Group and Bump & Baby?

Based on what I know about the two companies, I would say RIBA is a better proposition. I think your idea is suited to self-publishing since you have a very specific target audience, but I guess as an architect you'd want to do it in a relatively high-spec way, which could end up being costly for you. I'd buy it if I could afford to think about extending my house!

Various photos of the work-in-progress on their Twitter feed. They are hiring front-of-house staff and a week ago they posted that they're still aiming for mid-November. Sounding good!

It's a shame to lose a garden, but if the owners and immediate neighbours don't mind losing a bit of space/privacy then so be it. I would, however, have questions about drainage. Green spaces are crucial to provide natural drainage (and therefore prevent flooding either locally or 'downhill'). How will the loss of drainage be mitigated in a sustainable way?
