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.

    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided. 
    • does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
    • MaryT, I’ve contacted the Dulwich Hill councillors several times in recent years, always copying them both in. I have never had an acknowledgment from Jon Hartley (not even an automated response or out-of-office) nor had any response or engagement from him regarding the issue raised.   On each occasion, only Maggie Browning responded (she uses an out-of-office if she is away). The last time, I received no response from either for 3 months, until Maggie Browning emailed me to apologise for not responding and asking if the problem had been resolved.
    • The  Kwasi effect is being considered.
