Recommendations for a day out in town

Recommended Posts

Having a treat day out with a girlfriend tomorrow - was originally going to be the usual: pampering, afternoon tea etc, but as it's such glorious weather keen to make the most of outside.


Needs to be central, as friend's an out of towner, and budget not really a consideration. Fun, silliness and fizz all most welcome - any ideas?

Wander around the Isle of Dogs. Get there via either 12 to Westminster then Ferry or DLR from Lewisham.

Go south of the island to the Mudchute City Farm for a cuppa and a wander around and see the llamas. It's the biggest city farm in England so I understand.

Canary Wharf has great buildings, views, walks and history. You could also pop into one of the pubs along West India Quay, and go to the Docklands Museum there, or walk along the river towards the city and pop in to the Grapes, or even Prospect of Whitby.


But a long walk from World's End (go down as far as Chelsea Harbour and then walk back via Lots Road and wander around Cremorne Gardens), then walk up Kings Road to Peter Jones. Perfect.

    • But you have to assess whether these persistent drivers are creating more safety issues than diverting emergency vehicles on a longer route and clearly they are not. The fact members of the pro-closure lobby have built their argument on this actually shows how desperate, some would say selfish, they are to have the junction closed and just the way they want it. And unfortunately they seem to have the council over a barrel on something as the council weakly concedes to their position without hesitation. Was this not borne from an FOI that said one of the emergency services confirmed that they had not been consulted on the new DV design that Cllr Leeming then said was actually a mistake by the emergency services - and then it's a case of whether you believe Cllr Leeming or not....and his track record is hardly unblemished when it comes to all things LTNs? Exactly! When the "small vocal minority" was given a mouthpiece that proved it was anything other than small then some have repeatedly tried to discredit the mouthpiece.  The far-left has never been very good at accountability and One Dulwich is forcing our local councillors and council to be accountable to constituents and it wouldn't surprise me if the council are behind a lot of the depositioning activities as One Dulwich is stopping them from getting CPZs rolled out and must be seen as a huge thorn in the side of the idealogical plan they have. Southwark Labour has a long track record of trying to stifle constituents with a view that differs from theirs (see Cllr Leo Pollack for one example) or depositioning anyone trying to represent them (see Cllr Williams during the infamous Cllr Rose "mansplaining" episode. But you know, some think it's One Dulwich that are the greatest threat to local democracy and should not be trusted! 😉
    • A song thrush visited my back garden today. I watched as it smashed open a snail by whacking it against the patio.
    • I have no doubt that local people are genuinely involved (and personally can understand their not wanting to publicise their involvement). That said the proliferation of One groups across London and the degree of co-ordination suggests it is more than just a local grassroots group. I’m not really that interested, except that many of their supporters do bang on about transparency and accountability. I would be interested in the substance of their latest missive. Who has been pressurising the emergency services and how? Who genuinely believes that people are partially covering their plates and driving through due to inadequate signage? Sounds a little ridiculous / desperate. It feels like it may be time for them to start coming to terms with the changes tbh.
