Anyone been to a good Santa nearby?

I'm after a visit to the big man. I hear he's in a gingerbread house in Lewisham, and was thinking of going. Anybody been? Or seen him anywhere near enough for a toddler and 8-months-pregnant mum to get to? Thanks!

The one at Lewisham shopping centre is ok, it is a wooden house and costs ?5. My daughter was keen to go in and see Santa but she is only 2 so not that discerning, think she really liked the wooden house. The photo wasn't great though. You do get to go in on your own and last weekend the wait was v. short so all in all fine. There's a funny snow globe thing as well but we didn't go for that.

Was fairly impressed with the Bluewater Santa - it's within their "Christmas in NY" thing, can book a slot online, is free spare a donation (size of which is your choice) to Demelza House Children's hospice. Seemed v well organised, and got a nice photo - we went with my best mummy mate and her daughter so got a cheaper deal on the photo as we got 2 for ?12.
