    • Hello I am developing an interest in birds, and am enjoying listening to their singing especially in the morning and when I'm out and about.  I have bought a book about British birds, very detailed with info on each species.  I have managed to identify a couple of birds I've seen or heard around this area, but my starting knowledge of what birds exist here is very limited.  Is anyone knowledgeable able to cite some birds that exist around East Dulwich that I may be able to look up in my book and thereafter try to spot / listen out for?  Thanks! 
    • Hi everyone, I am a local tutor that has worked in an independent school for many years and have been responsible for the 4+ and 7+ assessments - so I know how they work from the inside! The 4+ assessments are especially competitive and the most unknown of all the school entrance assessments. I can help support your application by offering tutoring or a one off practise assessment to help identify what your child needs to work on.  I am happy to answer any questions you have about the assessments or anything specific about how your child will perform on the day. I am familiar with the expectations for Alleyn's, JAGs and St Dunstan's as well as the central London schools like Westminster and City.  I have helped many parents go through the process with their child - including my own son!  Send me a message to find out more!
    • Unfortunately, lovely as it is, it wouldn't be a suitable venue for the forum drinks. Not enough space for people to mingle and get to know each other,  and it would get in the way of other customers. Upstairs at the EDT has  comfy seating,   lots of space and is quiet on a Wednesday night, so we will stay there, if the managers let us! The next drinks aren't arranged yet, but will be in September. We had a break in August as so many people are away.
    • Rod (07739180197) has recently completed the restoration of our garden paths and the rebuilding of our damaged front step. He carefully reset the pathway stones, applied new grout, and sealed them, leaving the surfaces looking as good as new. We had assumed we would need to replace the front step entirely, as our neighbour did, but Rod’s skill and attention to detail have restored it beautifully. I cannot recommend Rod highly enough. He is reliable, punctual, and carries out his work with great care and professionalism. It is clear that he takes real pride in delivering high-quality results.
