Anyone got any suggestions? i need to go tomorrow morning with bubs in tow, which rules out Peckham Rye / Denmark

Hill train because of the stairs, and we'd need to go in rush hour too. Had been thinking bus would be the best option but TFL doesnt come up with any sensible options (best was 3 different buses and a 15 minute walk!!).

We can v easily get to any of Peckham Rye, Camberwell Green, Denmark Hill, or ED station on foot. Anyone know of a bus route that would work?

V grateful for all ideas!

We have had appointments on the Westminster Bridge side, and usually get the 176 from Lordship Lane - you then need to get off at the Waterloo Station stop (i.e. just before the roundabout) and walk under the arches, it's less than 10 mins walk - have forgotten name of the road, that runs from Waterloo station down to Westminster Bridge, with the County Hall and London Eye on the right hand side. Terrible directions sorry, but really a simple journey!

12 goes right past Tommys and being a bendy bus has good access/space for buggies (especially if you get on it at ED end).


Unfortunately I can believe the journey planner made the route so convoluted - do sometimes think it's designed to put you off using public transport!

I used to get either the 176 and walk from Waterloo (about 10 mins max) or get the 12 which takes you all the way. Both fairly fast to Tommy's :-)


BTW I used Denmark Hill station today with a buggy and managed to get down the steps (one at a time) and half way up again the same method at which point a chap helped me and even at 7 mths pregnant it was doable (although far easier with help :-) )

I used to work at St Thomas' and have tried every route. In the end I settled on the no 12 - although it takes a winding route through peckham once you've accounted for changing trains etc or walk from Waterloo it works out about the same time as any of the others without the hassle. As it's a bendy there should be lots of room for a pram but I would try and get on as early as possible in the route ie the gardens - or maybe outside peckham rye station as lots of people get off there.

    • Hope all the ‘high streets for people’ events went well! Very short notice probably for people living in the area and on a very hot day!  James McAsh just doesn’t know what to do next with Southwark Council Tax payers money. He advocates the few streets in the area that has a bus service and then shuts the routes down! Very annoying for people who want to go about their daily business and have already had restrictions brought in by McAsh. 
    • Thank goodness for Greg. I had an awful situation whereby I was notified that water was leaking from my flat into the flat below me. I was 150 miles away at the time and had a panicked journey home not knowing what I was going to face.   I called Greg (after seeing reviews on the forum) as soon as I arrived home in the evening and he arrived just after 10pm and was able to shut off the problem. He had to come back to finalise the job which turned out to be caused in a communal area whereby there was a blockage in the stack pipe.   Greg worked quickly, efficiently and informed me every step of the way as to what he was doing and why. He also cleaned up really well afterwards.  Greg's charges are very reasonable and he will definitely be my "go-to" if I have any other plumbing issues in the future.
