Does anyone else find the amount of pushchairs taking up the children?s part of the library extremely annoying? Surely it?s time to try & find an alternative to stepping over hundreds of bugaboos with babies & toddlers.

I left today with my two 2 year olds, as we couldn?t even enjoy a simple visit. I appreciate people have to take the prams but isn?t there somewhere outside that could be used as a buggy area? Something like the one at the butterfly house in the Horniman. It?s so annoying, and unsafe!

Why not mention this to the senior librarian - perhaps they will have a designated section for buggies etc. Or if you child is not sleeping, prams/buggies need to be folded.


Buggies etc were a problem in the Bread of Life Caf? (Christ Church) so they had a separate area set aside for the prams.

It's good news in a way as it's a sign of how popular the children's events are. They don't have a dedicated area but I know the staff do their best to corale them into the far corner behind the lift. Agree best to have a word with staff next time you're in and perhaps use one of their feedback forms to suggest setting up a covered space outside.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
