afternoon playgroups

[RJ]

Can anyone recommend playgroups or cheap activities that go on in the afternoon, everything seems to be in the morning and we are a bit slow getting going! Also is it possible to download somewhere weekly activities for local children's centres, I've seen this for Lewisham and it's really handy but haven't been able to find for Southwark. Thanks!

this is where you can find brochures for the different areas in Southwark, you can pick them up in the library too.

there never seems to be much going on the afternoon which is difficult now the days are shorter, I assume this is because poeple with older children will be doing the school run so that knocks out the afternoon. I'm not sure what the 1 o'clock club situation is, I never use them as my daughter is always asleep then. Mainly I try to zip to the park once she's got up and it's still light, and do things like the shopping, and then painting / play-do stuff at home. There's jellybabies swimming in the Peckham Pulse on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3pm. And go round to friends' houses.
