Christmas trees

If you have food/garden waste collections then you can just leave any real Christmas tree out on the next collection day.

Otherwise you can take real and plastic Christmas trees to the council waste collection centre on Devon Street, SE1 (just off the Old Kent Road).

Yo bro

Dulwich lesiure centre shuts at 4pm xmas and New Year's Eve not 2 pm

Those extra two hours of workout time could make a big difference to a lot of people ya know!!!

[James Barber]

Hi Dulwichdarling,

That's weird. The council leisure teams think it will close both times at 2pm along with all the other leisure centres across Southwark. And it's being advertised as closing at 2pm.

These are the times on the DLC website:

23rd December ? Normal Hours

Christmas Eve ? 07:00-16:00

Christmas Day ? CLOSED

Boxing Day ? CLOSED

27th December ? 07:00-18:00

28th December ? Normal Hours

29th December ? Normal Hours

New Year?s Eve ? 07:00-16:00

New Year?s Day ? CLOSED

2nd January ? 07:00-18:00

3rd January ? Normal Hours

Which differs in at least four respects from the times on Southwark's website! Left hand, this is your right hand, I don't believe you've met...

Not your fault though Mr.B, happy Christmas and thanks for being accessible for the forum this year!

Hi rendelharris,

I've had confirmation that the Dulwich Leisure Centre website was broadly correct but was missing 30 December which has now been added -https://www.everyoneactive.com/newsflash/christmas-opening-times-87/

Thanks. Without your inout this wouldn't have been corrected.

Just need the council website updated and corrected...

Worth noting that it's a Saturday timetable on London Overground from Dec 27, overnight services will run to West Croydon and Crystal Palace on New Year's Eve until around 0300.

Southeastern are also operating overnight services to Denmark Hill, Peckham Rye, Nunhead, Herne Hill, West Dulwich & Sydenham Hill on NYE from Victoria.

Route 185 will also operate overnight every 20 mins on NYE.

Have taken my tree to the recycling point in the middle of Peckham Rye for the last few years but can't find any info about it being a Christmas Tree recycling collection point this year. I live in flats so don't have garden/kitchen waste collections and don't have a car to drive to Devon Road. Any one have any ideas?
