My little 2 3/4 year-old monkey loves the pool at Centerparcs, I have just bought a car, and it looks like its going to be nasty weather this Easter.


This adds up to one thing: Centreparcs being booked up and very expensive anyway, can anyone suggest a good fun pool to go to next week? Something with a pretend beach, waves, that sort of thing. Doesn't have to be in London. Am perfectly happy to drive for an hour or so to get there.

The Glades in Bromley has a little slide, waves and a teeny pool for little ones. Only about a 20-min drive max. More expensive than ordinary swimming pools but much cheaper than Centre parcs!! Worth checking their website for session times, and if you can go for the lunchtime session that's usually less busy...
The arches leisure centre in greenwich is amazing has two slides one in the shallow end and one in the deep end, the shallow end starts off very shallow great for toddlers, they have spray, bubble and wave machines, lots of floats and a jacuzzi in the pool! prices are not expensive, the pool is part of GLL. Bromley is also good but I have always prefferred greenwich as there is much more to do and more younger kids as appose to teenagers.
We went to Latchmere a few weeks ago (before the beautiful weather) and although the pool was great, I really disliked the changing facilities: they were so dirty! They had obviously not been cleaned that day and I am not sure if it had been cleaned all week. Maybe I'm spoiled by Peckham and Dulwich pools but that level of dirt (including dirty nappies on the floor, bins overflowing and a strong smell of....) almost made us turn around... having paid ?9 for 2 adults+1 baby we decided to stay. As I said, the pool was great and maybe it is not normally that bad, but we'll be trying Bromley and Greenwich instead.

    • For the North Cross Rd one, other than this post on the day,  the only sign I saw was a few papers on lampposts saying no parking due to an event.  It didn't say what the event was. On the day at around 1.45pm all the parked cars were still there and there was just 1 unusual stall (an info stand about a children's activity group).
    • Hope all the ‘high streets for people’ events went well! Very short notice probably for people living in the area and on a very hot day!  James McAsh just doesn’t know what to do next with Southwark Council Tax payers money. He advocates the few streets in the area that has a bus service and then shuts the routes down! Very annoying for people who want to go about their daily business and have already had restrictions brought in by McAsh. 
    • Thank goodness for Greg. I had an awful situation whereby I was notified that water was leaking from my flat into the flat below me. I was 150 miles away at the time and had a panicked journey home not knowing what I was going to face.   I called Greg (after seeing reviews on the forum) as soon as I arrived home in the evening and he arrived just after 10pm and was able to shut off the problem. He had to come back to finalise the job which turned out to be caused in a communal area whereby there was a blockage in the stack pipe.   Greg worked quickly, efficiently and informed me every step of the way as to what he was doing and why. He also cleaned up really well afterwards.  Greg's charges are very reasonable and he will definitely be my "go-to" if I have any other plumbing issues in the future.
