Does anyone know of somewhere locally (withing walking distance of ED) where a lone person can go for Christmas lunch, and some company, this year?

I know that you do have the option of the expensive pub lunch, but if you are a pensioner this is no good to you, nor may a pub atmostphere be for you either.

Nothing seems to have been advertised for Christmas Day, that I am aware of, is there anything out there?


Seasons greetings and thanks.

Hi I*rate

I found this link. I know they mention 16th December, but maybe you can give them a call.

Don?t Be Home Alone on Christmas Day


People Care Association are once again running their free Christmas Day Party at Bacon's College in Rotherhithe on Christmas Day. Traditional Christmas meals will be served at 1.00pm and they are providing free door to door transport and entertainment.

To book your place, please phone Les Alden on 020 3355 2619 by 16th December.

Many thanks for your advice, Rotherhithe is too far away unfortunately.


However, the lonesome person, who was at a loss as to what to do this year, did get through the day reasonably well then had the company of her family later on.


It was surprising to see how little was available around ED on Christmas Day, London can be a big lonely place!


Very kind regards for a happy Christmas to all and best wishes for joy and peace in 2017.

    • a (clean) nappy/pamper, it was like it had snowed in the garden.  The absorbent stuff inside spread everywhere.  Can I have my gardening gloves back please.
    • They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.
    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.  
    • I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
