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.

    • Alas, poor Toadflax!  And gentle Alkanet.
    • Generally wild flowers which are indigenous to the UK are more likely to be supporting more wild life than introduced species, more commonly found in gardens, simply because wild life hasn't had time to adapt to it. Although of course many introductions which flower will be supporting pollinators more generally. (This would also be true of native as opposed to introduced tree and scrub species). And I suspect plants which are flowering over public space, even if rooted on private private, are being removed to stop them setting seed in public space. [Although many might see that as a good thing if the plants have merits of their own).
    • Good question. I think the benefit of some wild flowers is that they appear earlier in the spring and provide nectar for insects coming out of hibernation. Also, natives have evolved with the insects, some of which can only survive with certain native plants. For example, some species of  caterpillars need a specific native plant for their food. Having said that, I've seen lots of pollinators having a field day on some non native flowers. My bees love my verbena bonariensis for example.
    • Genuine question- are wild flowers/weeds better for wildlife than cultivated flowers? My cultivated flowers and their seeds attract birds, bees and all kinds of insects, maybe more so than wild flowers.
