As a new mum --my LO is 18 wks-- I'm begining to explore our local children's play areas. Sadly, I had a bad experience at the children's play centre in Telegraph Hill Park. The indoor play area wasn't particularly clean, and the staff --one woman in particular-- were extremely rude. Indeed, we felt so unwelcome, my girl friend and I left after about 2 min, even though it was raining outside!! I hope there are some friendlier (and cleaner!) play groups in some of our other local parks. What experiences has anyone else had?

All Saints Church play group has always been very friendly: http://www.allsaintspeckham.org.uk/whatson/youngsaints/ and the Camberwell Salvation Army playgroup is lovely: http://www.netmums.com/listings/PLACES/southwark/15/Salvation_Army_Parents_and_Toddlers_Group/1001/19659/. Peckham soft play is ok, staff are friendly and they have a separate area for babies.

Saffron - my wife had a similar experience at the TH centre when our son was a similar age. She didn't even make it inside and stood outside in the rain and her friends left 2 minutes later to meet her. It took us until now (when son is 18months) to go back, and we still just stick to toys outside.


18wks is maybe a bit young, but once they're a bit bigger then definitely the baby gym run by lewisham council on Friday in Honor Oak is brilliant.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
