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.

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.

      Childish behaviour by Trump, so quite appropriate, I would say.

      Choir local to Lordship Lane?

      By Sue · Posted

      There's a folk choir that meets upstairs at the Castle, can't remember what night  but the pub would be able to tell you.

      The recommendations for tradespeople are in the  "reviews" section. I agree it's confusing.

      Parking in Herne Hill

      By Sue · Posted

      Thanks for this. I appreciate your suggestion. However, I have walked to the Oxfam shop with a shopping trolley (quite light when it's empty)  load of books in the past. I have also taken a trolley load of books on the 37. Both times I came back on the 37 with an empty trolley. I'm 76 and not particularly fit. I also have a problem with both  my arms (golfers elbow. No I am not a golfer. Dragging weights makes the pain worse). To walk to Herne Hill from my home  involves dragging the trolley uphill for the first part of the walk (downhill after that). To get a trolley of books onto and off the bus is very difficult, because of its weight. I don't use my ancient car (1998) very often because it isn't ULEZ compliant, but I have come to the conclusion that this is the only way I can get another  load of books to the Oxfam shop. *Breaks down in a piteous fit of crying for her age and infirmity 🤣🤣🤣*
