You don't have to join, although I think there is a discount if you do. Little Saff and I went one morning a few weeks ago. It was ?5.


In addition to some softplay they had painting and crafty type stuff. There is also a coffee bar, which smelled delicious. Unfortunately I was so busy running around after Little Saff trying to prevent her from painting herself blue, that I didn't get to sample the coffee. They play music and I think they might have some other activities later in the day, depending on the theme of the week. It was a nautical theme with sea shanties when we went. There is also a small outdoor space in which they had a sandpit.


We only stayed about an hour b/c Little Saff (19 months) can only do short stretches of excitement before she needs some quiet time. The space probably best suits babies that aren't yet highly mobile, or otherwise slightly older toddlers and children, perhaps 2-7years. xx

The 484 goes there. You can't park right outside and will have to walk 5 mins or so. My 3 yr old daughter loves going there, to hang out, mess about, make believe, paint, jump around, build stuff and generally go with the flow- its not organised activities as such at any particular time but follows the mood of the children and parents can join in. We like the cafe too and usually have lunch there and stay a few hours.

I have enjoyed taking my daugther here - I would have loved a place like this when she was younger. It is also helpful that most of the things to do are made / created / so there are no "fights" over toys etc!


- if you buy things on amazon, and go through their website, (click on Amazon link from TDLP webpage) they earn some revenue as well


Although teh cafe is small, they do a good coffee; some nice snacks available.


(You can just turn up - they do have themed events for Christmas; Halloween and those have to be booked)

It think TDLP received special funding -- innovation in business grant or some such? I heard that their location might not be permanent. I guess if the business is successful, they would look for a better space. Maybe worth asking next time you drop by?


On Saturday mornings TDLP also has a stand at the Brockley Market (green produce, baked goods, seasonals etc in the Lewisham College carpark, intersection of Tressillian and Lewisham Way). It's ?2.50 for an art & craft session usu with story telling at the TDLP stand. Take the 484 bus from Nunhead and alight at Tressillian. It's a 3 min walk up the road. Also plenty of onsite parking.

    • Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious
    • Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄
    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.  
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
