d.b Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 We're sweltering in the heat and looking for good suggestions for places with air conditioning, or failing that a shady outside area which is actually cool...

se22cat Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 The Co-Op and M&S both have a couple of seats near the front entrance, so you can enjoy both their ice cold aircon and a slight breeze for free.

moondancer Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 the coldest place in ED is the Coop, they wear woolly hat and mittens. You could take a book and camping stool, no one will even notice Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/197147-where-round-here-is-air-conditioned/#findComment-1260387 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rendelharris Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Get up high, top of Crystal Palace or Telegraph Hill. Was up there this morning cycling, cool breezes, less pollution and great views!

Robert Poste's Child Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 The Horniman Museum gardens are always good for a breeze, or you could go to Dulwich Woods. I spent this evening sitting in a patch of shade in Dulwich Park and even that was pleasant.Sainsbury's DKH is cool and you can sit in Starbucks.Or just fill the bath with cold water and lie in it. Sounds silly but I sometimes do that if it's a really hot summer. If your bath's big enough you can invite your partner to join you, light some candles and share a bottle of wine.You can create the sensation of being cool in other ways too - I'm sure people will add their tips here as this subject always comes up at this time of year, particularly when the nights are warm.I dab on peppermint oil or Vick, both of which make you feel cool, and right now I have a cold hot water bottle in bed that has been in the fridge all day. Don't go on a routemaster, whatever you do.

Angelina Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 We went to a hotel bar to cool down, cocktails were an added bonus Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/197147-where-round-here-is-air-conditioned/#findComment-1260450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DulwichFox Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 The EDT. They operate the Air con with the doors open so the Aircon is blasting out Ice cold air in an vague attempt to cool down the whole of East Dulwich. Air con. needs doors to be shut.

Decoraterdave Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Im thinking of buying an air-conditioning unit, does anyone have experience , recommendations?

Robert Poste's Child Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 My neighbour (since moved) put a mobile airco unit in their bedroom and directed the exhaust pipe bit out of the window closest to me, just a couple of feet from my own bedroom window, meaning it was pushing noise and heat (making cold air produces hot as a by-product) at me and another neighbour all night. Obviously they didn't care but if you value good relations with your neighbours you might want to think that through. They're also expensive to buy and run, and not eco-friendly. Not keen on them personally. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/197147-where-round-here-is-air-conditioned/#findComment-1260575 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They generally work best in one room with the doors closed to maximise impact. They can be set to hit a certain temp and then finish to save energy.if you want to cool a house with one , you are wasting your timethey have their use and when used correctly, make a massive difference.

yorksgirl Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 "round here" - ish - if you are looking for somewhere to work the cinema at Goldsmiths College haa a lovely cool cafe attached to it, even larger cafe attached, is open early to late, plenty of power points and cheap tea.

another annie Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 The Great Exhibition is indeed lovely and cool. A tea (or in this weather a chilled tap water) for me and a Guinness for my partner is our perfect wind-down at the end of the day (luckily for us that's about 6ish). The staff are all really friendly, too. And relax...

Earl Aelfheah Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 M&S by the station is soooo cold. You can actually just stand outside the front and still feel the wafts of ice cold air.
