Hello,

I'm new in the neighborhood (and in the country!) and am about to spend a Dulwich-based month of August of unpacking and summer fun, with my 6 and 8 year old children.

I know how to use Google for ideas of things to do, but I thought I'd also ask here for any well-informed tips :)

Thanks!

Welcome.


For stuff to do with them or activity clubs for them to attend whilst you unpack?


For the former - you will know about some of these already but I recommend:

Dulwich Park has a lake with pedalos, also recumbent bikes for hire,

Horniman Museum is brilliant for kids that age, loads of interactive stuff indoors and outside

Crystal Palace Park is nice and has the remains of the original Palace plus some historic dinosaur statues

Battersea Park has a small zoo with adventure playground - also Go Ape (treetop adventures)

The South Bank of the Thames has lots going on including Tate Modern which is free entry so you can dip in and out without buying tickets.

Welcome!

My youngest is 7… things we are doing :


Time at various parks, there are loads to choose from locally

Swimming at Alleyns (intensive booked classes)

Horniman museum

Dulwich library (there’s a free exotic creature event on Thursday 11-12)

Ice cream at oddonos on lordship lane

There’s an art class place on Melbourne Grove

You can get cheaper theatre tickets for kids in London in August


Have you got school places sorted out?


Good luck with the unpacking!

    • So glad you found this poor little thing....  I heard that so many people tried to catch it as it was running in the road.  Well done!            
    • As a one off thing, I'd 100% recommend going to Alexander Does Supper, if you like food! It's up at Dulwich Art School, and you do some life drawing, have an amazing three course meal, and then watch some burlesque! I met some great people from the local area, and it was something different that I would never have done otherwise. https://www.instagram.com/alexanderdoessupper https://www.alexanderdoessupper.com  
    • No, signs of sense and scrutiny of "leaders" not knowing the impact of what they have done, so much so that every citizen in the UK will suffer financially as a result of an incompetent, incoherent, unhinged Govt that's impact is effecting every citizen in the UK. Where things were being turned around by the last lot, this lot has already compromised all that work in its first 120 days in power. You may not like it but that's the truth.  We are never going to agree and actually Reeves, Rayner and Starmer need to go, like yesterday.
