Ruskin Park & Sydenham Wells are lovely, but it would be so much better to have one we could walk to. One of 'our own'


Yeah, get your own bloody park, and leave Wells Park for us Sydenham dwellers! ;-)


In all seriousness, I think Wells Park is a beautiful place. Not particularly big, but lovely. The water play thing is popular (not least with me, when Mrs Keef's nephew is around, and I can get away with it), but sometimes it will not be on, which is rather annoying!

Can't remember the name of the road either, but know they do have restrictions between 12-2pm (to stop Kings staff parking there for the day).

Not great. My son's a keen cricketer and is a member of Dulwich Cricket Club. Also spends a lot of time at ' the nets ' in Dulwich Park in the summer. Also there's a sort of drop in football activity on Peckham Rye ( near where the new school's being built) on Saturday and Sunday afternoon which seems to be well supervised.


There are also the Stagecoach activities, music, dance and drama. Not sure of the closest but possibly at JAGS. Great fun for the right child but not cheap.


My daughter tends to hang out on Northcote Road on a Saturday doing McDonald's and Starbucks.

On a slightly older child level - what is there to do for them in the area? So far the son is doing a lot of sports but what is he going to do when he is 14/15/16? Where do teenagers 'hang out'?


I have no idea what it is they need/want? Any of you any idea what that age group does around here?

Well there's a couple of youth clubs that I know of, both quite popular. One is at St Barnabas, & the other is in the Sea-Scout hut in Greendale, both on a Friday. Also, my neighbour tells me that when they reach year 10/11 then the cool place to hang out is the shed at the bottom of the Alleyns grounds. These are kids from Charter, Alleyns, DC, Jags & Kingsdale apparently - they hang out & do disgusting stuff which as parents it probably better we don't know about!


Mine are 12 & 14, 14 year old (girl) spends a lot of time at friends houses, or in our attic room with her friends - it's a bit like a nomadic tribe. In the summer they tend to hang out in the parks, on a Saturday they might 'do' Bromley, or the South bank or just cruise the shops on Lordship lane & dream.


12yr old (boy), still into Scouts (hooray!), also hangs out at friends houses - mainly in front of screens it must be said.


My girl not at all interested in schlepping over to Clapham to cruise the shops - I don't think it's crossed her mind. Maybe that's to come? For now, Bromley & LL serve all her needs.

Which pool? There are a few in Bromley...

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
