Thanks everyone for your suggestions! We went with VP Removals and would highly recommend them. A fair price, great service, and very efficient.

Thank you all for your help! We aren't in a position to do it ourselves I'm afraid, but that would definitely be a cheaper option. I'll check out Little Green Van and Man.

Hi all! We're shortly moving to Lincoln (in the East Midlands) and are finding the cost of movers extortionate. We only have furniture to fill a one bed flat and are willing to pack/unpack everything ourselves. Any ideas or suggestions on how to cut down costs? Or does anyone know the cheapest company to use? Thanks! Anja

Hi all - I?ve heard that companies are encouraging you to buy gift cards to support them. Perhaps we could do this for local businesses, too?

Does anyone know if there is a Hustings scheduled ahead of the General Election for the Dulwich and West Norwood seat?

Hi all, Just an update - following the bumps on the road (there was more than one eventually), a pipe burst. Thames Water will be out to look at it in the next five hours. Take care on East Dulwich Road!

Hello, We?ve noticed this too and have reported it. Someone will be out soon from the Highways team to inspect.

Hello all! Just back from our trip to Kew Gardens. We didn?t end up driving and instead took the bus to Denmark Hill, then train to Victoria, then tune to Kew Gardens station (district line). This took roughly an hour but was super simple and I would certainly recommend it. This means you arrive at Victoria Gate (about a 7 minute walk from the station). We bought tickets online last night and would highly recommend doing so. Firstly, this saved us about ?2 per ticket. Secondly, there was almost no queue for online tickets but a lengthy queue for tickets on the door. We dropped off luggage at the lockers by Victoria Gate, which only cost a pound and were big enough for a carry-on size suitcase. Would definitely suggest this if you are carrying lots of bags! Instead of going to one of the cafes, we decided to pick up some bits at the Tesco by the Kew Gardens station. This Tesco isn?t well stocked so if you would like to take a picnic I would say you should bring one from home. We had a wonderful day and the travel/entrance were very easy! Thanks for all of your tips - they definitely made the day easier.

Thanks all for your responses! We?ll have luggage with us, hence wanting to drive, but given your advice we?re reconsidering our options and will likely take the tube/train/bus. It doesn?t look too bad (about an hour), there are just a number of changes. Hopefully the journey will be relatively smooth but I?ll update with any tips/ideas afterwards! ...if we make it out there, that is. Our party doesn?t enjoy crowds so it may be a plan that has to be abandoned!

Thanks Sue, that?s super helpful! In that case, we might change our plans so that we don?t have to drive. It means dragging ourselves out of bed a bit early on Sunday but definitely worth it if it?s going to be rammed!
