Can second (Third, fourth?) the Brierley recommendations, but you'd need to get on to them asap as they book up very quickly. My 8 month old was born in a pool in our kitchen with Brierly midwives in attendance. It was lovely, but to be honest my first child's birth at Kings was pretty good too, with wonderful care in labour there too. I found the post-natal ward a bit grim, but a recent survey seemed to indicate that is the case everywhere.

I'm a mum with a pram who couldn't agree with you more Bald Marauder. Lived in ED for 7 years, a parent for 2 . I do not clutter Cafe Nero with my buggy as it would be the first thing to be cast out from my fantasy LL, but do frequent pretty much everywhere else. (Bread of Life at the top of Barry Rd is good. The coffee's not that great but my toddler can charge around with her marauding horde without pissing anyone off. How priorities change.) Anyone after a childfree pub should head to the fore-mentioned CPT. Its my localist local and whilst I miss not being able to drink there as often as I did 3 years ago, I miss not being able to drink anywhere that often. On balance I'm glad even the patio is child free. I have a huge choice of places my children can shatter the peace and on the rare occasions I can shake them off and escape for a pint I'd really rather not have to deal with someone elses kids instead.

Not nice. That's just when I'm usually crossing with my toddler and baby. Perhaps they could move a lollipop man over from the Townley road/LL junction. Having two policing a junction half of which is controlled by traffic lights always seems a bit ott. Or are they employed directly by Alleyns?
