It's not necessarily juniper. It depends on the type of birth you want - labour ward vs home for example. I want a highly medicalised birth on labour ward so I'm with Ivy Green midwives. Different teams have different specialisms. At your booking in appointment you should be able to go over your thoughts about the birth and then you'll be assigned to a team.

thats true, but if you want the equivalent of what you had with oakwood then i would advise getting booked in with juniper now - i was with the lanes last time and i have had exactly the same sort of experience with Juniper (though i had a homebirth and so possibly was assessed/allocated in some way I'm not aware of)


i just rang them direct when i realised i was pregnant and so was registered with them ahead of my official booking in appt, if that makes sense.

I don't want a home birth and don't have mental health problems and I am with Juniper.


My details with registered with Kings via the midwife linked to my GP Surgery and then I received a booking appointment which had allocated me to Juniper before I had any discussions regarding my wishes. They mentioned a home birth as I was low risk and had a straightforward labour last time, and I refused saying I wanted to be in Kings.

I'm also with Juniper, and am in two minds over whether I want a home birth or not (mainly due to having another young child about). Juniper is the equivalent of what the Lanes used to be. Allocation is based on postcode, which benefits me as it used to be that it was a midwife caseload team assigned to specific GPs, and I missed out as I'm with the Gardens.

If it's a homebirth team you're looking for then it's the Birchtree midwives (with Kings) you need...leave a message on this number and they usually call back the same day: 020 3409 0704. This team is what Brierley used to be. I just had my third baby with them and they were truly amazing!!

      Family Photography

      By dianamaru · Posted

      Hello East Dulwich families 👋 I wanted to introduce myself to the community. I’m a professional family & wedding photographer with 14+ years of experience, and I split my time between the US and London throughout the year. I’ll be based in London for the coming weeks and would love to photograph more local families here in East Dulwich. My approach is very relaxed and natural — no stiff posing, no pressure — just real connection, movement, and the beautiful everyday moments that tell your family’s story. I work especially well with kids and parents who feel “awkward” in front of the camera (which honestly is most of us!). Sessions can take place at home, in the park, on your favourite street, or anywhere that feels meaningful to you. The goal is to create images that feel like your life — not a photoshoot. If anyone has been thinking about documenting this season with their children, I’d love to connect, answer questions, or simply share examples of my work. No pressure at all — just happy to be here and meet some neighbours. You can see my work here: https://bluesparkphotography.com/family/ (use the contact page on the site to send me a message if you're interested!).

      Be careful in local shops

      I don't! But I've also taken to calling myself David, as it seems to shorten the odds of achieving something in life. It's not King Dave, Dave Lloyd George, Dave Hockney, Dave Bowie or Dave Hasselhoff is it? And I'm not sure Michelangelo would have had such success if he'd called his sculpture 'Dave'.

      Where to recycle shoes & trainers please?

      By ed_pete · Posted

      I think there is still a shoes/clothes recycling bank outside of North Dulwich station.

      Southwark Waste and Recycling Guide

      I'm not so sure the collection team are that bothered anymore.  Two houses either side of me are rented and the tenants just chuck their rubbish - mostly bagged - in the blue or green bins depending on which has space in, not based on what it is.  The blue bins are always emptied.
