Hi,


I'm new to the area and looking to start running again after a 6 month hiatus. Can anyone recommend any groups? Or does anyone fancy a running partner, or maybe a few of us could run together?


I've seen park run but don't quite fancy committing every Saturday morning to an early start. Plus it helps my motivation if I've promised someone I'll be somewhere. I could easily ignore the clock for park run :)


Thanks,


Ashley

Hi Ashley a small group of us run on a Monday morning at 930 from Dulwich Park usually, through the woods when its not too muddy. We are pretty slow but you are welcome to join us. we run 5-6 K usually unless someone is injured. Coffee afterwards is virtually mandatory!

Let me know if you are interested,

Louise

Just off for a run to Brockwell park

Hi Ashley, you could try Good Gym Southwark. They meet at Old Spike roastery, Peckham Rye on Wednesday evenings, run as a group, complete a task and then run back. It might help with your motivation and avoids the mornings! See www.goodgym.org for details. But if you can get up on Saturdays I highly recommend Peckham Rye parkrun :)

I don't know if our group may suit? Meet 10am every Saturday outside the Rye caf? in the park.


We are a varied bunch, some run, some power walk. We stop every 3-400 metres to do resistance exercises so the stop/start might bother you.


PM if you want more details, it's all led by us and a coffee at the end encourages bonding...

    • The published planning application proposal summary runs: "25/AP/1010  Installation of air source heat pumps; acoustic screening; pipework and trunking; replacement of radiators with air conditioning units; secondary glazing; replacement of non-original lantern roof; internal refurbishment including decoration, new fittings, toilets, kitchenettes, and remedial works to building fabric." https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=SU76HIKBJGS00 The officer's assessment includes mention of an external buggy store, which sounds a good idea if it's for use by visiting tots.  I remember one morning when I found the ground floor part-occupied by buggies, even in a few book bays.  🙂
    • Its good to hear concern for this amazing resource. If you ever visit you will find it full of Dulwich teenagers upstairs studying for exams, community is so vital for that generation. I am sure we dont want that to evaporate entirely. There is not much left. With all knowledge of the huge wealth that exists in the area, it would be so warm and rewarding for some of that to be passed to Dulwich library. The ground floor loos were returning to a state of nature itself. Moss was starting to grow.   X
    • The planned closure of Dulwich Library for over 6 months to refurb and change the heating seems odd. The description of works does not seems to align with the expected length of closure.  Some library authorities use shop fitters over December/January when they have no other work to undertake such library refurbs. The costs are especially keen as a result. And shop fitters are used to compressed time works. Win win.  I would hope the works involve using the vacant unused second floor. Perhaps relocating the first floor librarian back offices there to make a bigger user space on the first floor.
    • The consultation advertised as being last night Tuesday 18th, and to which our Councillor Renata Hamvas told me she was unable to attend, never happened because Events Team and Gala never showed up at Pod 1 Peckham Library. Cllr Hamvas is not supporting the 2nd weekend.  I then noticed in Southwark News the meeting is scheduled for tonight Wednesday 19th Nov 2025.  I can't attend. CllrVictoria Mills doesn't reply to my emails. Anyone able to go? I am unable to leave the house at this time.
