Myself and a couple of local mums are talking about setting up an 'outdoor playgroup' once a month at the wooden circle in Warwick Gardens. Would anyone be interested in coming? Or indeed in helping to organise things? We were thinking of taking lots of picnic blankets, a box of toys, some flasks of tea, a picnic, some bunting and some babies & toddlers! I've go the go-ahead from the council. We plan to hold the first gathering on Thursday April 14th from 2pm. The idea is to kick things off with a teddy bears picnic, a few songs and a bear-themed story! All welcome!
Thanks for your PM's great to hear there is some interest. Warwick Gardens is at the Peckham end of Bellenden Road - Past Review book shop gates on the left. It's where the wingding is held. It's free and just for fun. Yes i will post nearer the time - just wanted to give a heads up to guage interest.

Hi Andy - lovely message thanks! i tried to contact you all by Facebook to make sure we weren't stepping on Antibes toes (or circle!) it does lend itself to a teddy bears picnic so well! Thanks for the endorsement! Will let you know how it goes.

Hi circle people - I've been up in the loft in search of picnic type blankets. Alas I only found a couple. Could people keep their eyes out at jumble / sales / parents garages etc - it would be nice to have enough to fill the circle. Ta x

Hi folks I've set up a Facebook group for anyone interested in coming along to our new monthly community outdoor playgroup starting on Thursday 14th April in Warwick Gardens. Local mums and babies and toddlers welcome for a teddy bears picnic with songs and a story. I'll pop the details on here too for any non 'bookers. X

    • 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!).  
    • 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'.
