You could buy a frame from Habitat and then get one of them to just do you a mount in a colour of your choice. I did that with the one on Northcross Road and saved at least ?40 on framing. Just take the print and the frame in. (The frame needs to be a good two inches larger than the print, I'd say.

I've tried several in the area and the best value and promptest service is definitely David Mitchell Framers in Lewisham- 28 Loampit Hill SE13 7SW tel 020 8469 0078 NB they are closed on Wednesdays. http://david-mitchell-picture-frames-limited.business.site/

They are very friendly and helpful and half the price of some in SE22. They frame works for all major exhibitions as well as the general public. They only take a week to frame the work and are helpful if you need advice.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I took up minitoots?s suggestion and went to David Mitchell Framers this morning, friendly service and a reasonable price, I think. I was nervous doing this, had no idea what I wanted really or how much it would cost, but so far so good. I collect it next week.

I have just got frames back from David Mitchell based on the recommendation here. Pleased with the result, and found them really helpful in helping me pick the right frame and mount.


They told me the turnaround time would be two weeks because they're really busy. It was actually a bit quicker than that in the end. The shop was indeed really busy with customers when I went to collect in the late afternoon.

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.     
    • Some of us oldies would associate Grove with the old Grove Vale School (which I went to in the 1950s)
