We play in the park itself, not on the common....but a very interesting article...never to be enforced I think ;) as the rules have changed since then. Of course the article says nothing about ladies playing footy :D
I get very frustrated by the no croquet rules on a Sunday, although I have a confession to make. When the riots were going on last weekend I took the chance to sneak out for a quick game in Dulwich Park while the authorities' attention was elsewhere. Been wracked with guilt ever since some James' post is very re-assuring.

I am so relieved to to be told that the bye-laws in force in 1904 have been updated and that all sports are permitted on all days of the week.


The bye-laws in force in 1904 explicitly permitted ice-skating on the lake until dusk on any day of the week unless the park-keeper on duty declared it was too foggy to continue.

Not so hasty. Archery, javelin, discus and shot are all prohibited, as is more or less any golf more dynamic than putting or addressing the ball. And "No person shall throw or strike a cricket ball with a bat except in a designated area for playing cricket." It's all here, under Anti-social behaviour.

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
