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.

    • When the charity I was involved with had to go into voluntary liquidation during Covid as majority of our funding ceased, We did not have sufficient income to cover the £50.000 pa rent, we had to get rid of 30 years plus of confidential files. We went through a confidential shredding company who took away a hundred plus sacks for shredding. They supplied the sacks and when we could not store anymore, they came and collected. 
    • Just got this...... Thank you for your continued patience and understanding during the closure of the pool at Dulwich Leisure Centre. We deeply appreciate your support throughout this period. We’re pleased to let you know that school swimming successfully resumed as part of our phased reopening. This was an important step in testing the performance of the existing filtration system and we’re happy to report that it has coped well. With that reassurance, we’re now ready to move forward with the next stages of reopening: Phase 2 – Morning Lane Swimming, Silver Swim and Aqua Aerobics Dates: From 9 June to 13 July Weekdays: 6:30am to 8:30am Saturdays: 7:00am to 8:00am Tuesday Silver Swim sessions: 3pm to 4pm Tuesday Aqua Aerobics class: 11:30am to 12:30pm Phase 3 – Evening Lane Swimming Dates: 1 July to 13 July Monday to Friday: 8:00pm to 9:45pm Full Closure for Filter Installation The new state-of-the-art filters are scheduled to arrive in mid-July. To allow for installation, the pool will close for approximately six weeks. Pool Closure Dates: 14 July to 24 August We know another closure may be disappointing, but this work is essential for delivering a safer, more efficient, and more enjoyable swimming environment going forward. Phase 4 - Full Reopening Date: 25 August We anticipate that we will be able to fully re-open the pool on 25 August. All programmes will resume, and swimming lessons will return to Dulwich Leisure Centre. Swimming lessons Swimming lessons will remain at alternative venues until we fully re-open to avoid further disruption. We look forward to welcoming you back to lessons at Dulwich when we fully re-open. A separate email will be sent nearer the time to confirm details. Help us to keep the pool clean As we welcome swimmers back, please remember that good pool hygiene is vital for everyone’s safety. We kindly ask all swimmers to shower before entering the water — it really helps us keep the pool clean and maintain a healthy environment for all. Membership Adjustments We’ll continue to keep you informed throughout this process and will share full details soon about eligibility for membership adjustments. Thank you again for your continued patience and support. We look forward to seeing you back in the pool very soon. Warm regards, Phillippa Gillespie General Manager, Dulwich Leisure Centre
