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!

    • > understand that you cannot process Lloyds Bank cheques through LLane. You can according to the Services Available -- Cheque deposits page got to  via  https://www.postoffice.co.uk/branch-finder/0100072/east-dulwich The lookup details there for Lloyds says: "Cheque deposit Yes – with a personalised paying in slip and a deposit envelope from Lloyds Bank "Lloyds Bank cheque deposit envelopes are also available from Post Office branches"
    • It wasn't a rumour, the salon had closed when I posted here. Regarding the Post Office, as I said go and ask them.
    • My annoyance Is with the fact that the gym is being closed for 5 weeks for refurbishment but we dont have an option to freeze our membership if the only facility we use is the gym. Apparently Peckham gym is closed at the same time for refurbishment which I think is pretty stupid. Therefore the nearest gym for all the members from ED leisure centre and Peckham leisurecentre is the one in Camberwell . I lament the everyone active days..at least I could attend gyms near to work and outside Southwark
