if you want to tube it step free (bar the last few steps at south ken, where i have always got help with no problem) go to london bridge, take the lift down to jubilee line and change at westminster to district line, again all lifts. i did this with twins for past 2 years and have gone from double buggy to no buggy. westminster can be a bit much as you have to swap lifts but otherwise i had no problems.

HI there. I work there AND have kiddies I take there so have done this a fair bit.


Train to Victoria and then 52 (which stops just up the road near Hyde Park) is quick. Step free if you go from ED and change at Peckham Rye from Platform 2 to 1 for the Victoria train.


Yes the 345 goes from Peckham to South Ken but boy, it can take ages as it goes via Battersea and Clapham!


Ditto, I think the one you're talking about which stops REALLY near - i.e. opposite is the 360 which goes to Elephant and Castle. Again, this goes all round the houses. OK if you've got plenty of time but not if its rush hour or you;ve got antsy kids.


Another points. I'm guessing you're thinking of going in half term. It can be NIGHTMARISHLY BUSY!!!! If you can, get there for opening at ten, stay a couple of hours and then either get out of there FAST and find somewhere for lunch, or go to the less busy galleries on the upper floors - although as they're the medical galleries they're not always for the squeamish.


Good luck,


Helen

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
