activities/clubs for older folk

[Miacis]

Hi. My 84 yo father has just moved to ED. Is there any info on local activities/clubs he might get involved in? He was very active in his Men's Shed in Ireland and will try the ones in Peckham and Penge but if folk know of anything similar or just fun activities for older folk please let me know.

He's reasonably active, a bit forgetful and very sociable/good company. ex engineer.

What part of ED does he live?. Places like the Copestone Centre and Goose Green centre seem to have various activities.
