You don't have to join, although I think there is a discount if you do. Little Saff and I went one morning a few weeks ago. It was ?5.


In addition to some softplay they had painting and crafty type stuff. There is also a coffee bar, which smelled delicious. Unfortunately I was so busy running around after Little Saff trying to prevent her from painting herself blue, that I didn't get to sample the coffee. They play music and I think they might have some other activities later in the day, depending on the theme of the week. It was a nautical theme with sea shanties when we went. There is also a small outdoor space in which they had a sandpit.


We only stayed about an hour b/c Little Saff (19 months) can only do short stretches of excitement before she needs some quiet time. The space probably best suits babies that aren't yet highly mobile, or otherwise slightly older toddlers and children, perhaps 2-7years. xx

The 484 goes there. You can't park right outside and will have to walk 5 mins or so. My 3 yr old daughter loves going there, to hang out, mess about, make believe, paint, jump around, build stuff and generally go with the flow- its not organised activities as such at any particular time but follows the mood of the children and parents can join in. We like the cafe too and usually have lunch there and stay a few hours.

I have enjoyed taking my daugther here - I would have loved a place like this when she was younger. It is also helpful that most of the things to do are made / created / so there are no "fights" over toys etc!


- if you buy things on amazon, and go through their website, (click on Amazon link from TDLP webpage) they earn some revenue as well


Although teh cafe is small, they do a good coffee; some nice snacks available.


(You can just turn up - they do have themed events for Christmas; Halloween and those have to be booked)

It think TDLP received special funding -- innovation in business grant or some such? I heard that their location might not be permanent. I guess if the business is successful, they would look for a better space. Maybe worth asking next time you drop by?


On Saturday mornings TDLP also has a stand at the Brockley Market (green produce, baked goods, seasonals etc in the Lewisham College carpark, intersection of Tressillian and Lewisham Way). It's ?2.50 for an art & craft session usu with story telling at the TDLP stand. Take the 484 bus from Nunhead and alight at Tressillian. It's a 3 min walk up the road. Also plenty of onsite parking.

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
