Hello all, my first post in this forum!

My friend who uses a motored wheelchair is coming to visit me in East Dulwich soon, and I would love to show her around the area.

We are both in our mid twenties for reference.

I am planning what we can do during her visit, which will hopefully last 3-5 hours.

Has anyone living in the area using a motorized wheelchair got any recommendations for places you love to visit?

Does anyone have any recommendations for cafes that are accessible- so are either step free or have a ramp, have enough space for a wheelchair, and have an accessible toilet?

Are there any shops that are particularly suited to browsing in a chair?

I am trying to do research myself and realizing that not everywhere has accessibility information, so first hand recommendations would be incredible.

We are new friends and as our friendship grows I know that it will become second nature to assess accessibility in the places I visit, but for now as I am learning I would really appreciate any recommendations people can give :-)

Thank you!

My aunt uses an electric wheelchair and the ED picture house is very accessible - even if just for a coffee. We ate in Olivelli which was fairly easy to remove a chair and maneuver about - staff were very amenable and helpful. The Horniman museum is also accessible including the cafe. A little further out but we also go to the Alleyn's Head pub, can park outside and all on one level with no steps.

    • I am sure what the new plan is but who knows how the postal service will work from here onwards 
    • My experience is that my local letter box does have week-day-ly collections - but I think very early in the morning, not at the old 'around 5.00pm' times. There are several daily collections from the box outside the Forest Hill Road sub-post office. I don't think the 'Monday' tab is now ever changed. Mail collections from boxes have got nothing to do with the service we (don't) get from the Peckham Delivery Office. Your Wednesday 12th posting would probably only have been collected on Thursday 13th, if it was posted after 9.00am. If it was being delivered in East Dulwich (where the Peckham DO does come into play) then getting it by the following Tuesday is probably par for the course.
    • Are there no daily collections from post boxes any more? On Wednesday Feb 12 I posted a Valentine's Card in the postbox which is about 20 metres from our house to make sure it arrived by Feb 14 (yes I know I could've put it thru letterbox but that's not as romantic is it). After I posted it I noticed the little metal thingy said "Monday" but I thought this must be a mistake and had not been changed. However, Valentine's Day came and went and no card arrived. In fact it arrived on the following Tuesday, Feb 18 so I'm guessing the Monday collection metal thingy was correct. Has it ever been announced officially that there are no longer daily collections from letterboxes? I remember a time, not even that long ago, when the red postman pat van would pull up at least twice a day, every weekday.    
    • My lovely tuxedo cat, Rexy, has been missing since Wednesday which is very out of character. Rodwell Road area, SE22. He is a rescue cat so really quite timid with people he doesn’t know. If you spot him, could you please contact me? Many thanks. He is chipped and neutered.  Photos attached.
