Incredible. We had such an amazing time. The setting was gorgeous with the views. The way they set the fireworks to music was beautifully done. The Heart sponsored music actually worked very well, though not generally my cup of tea. A family ticket was ?32 and there were two full displays. We got there early and it was very quiet. Food and drink, though delicious was expensive, as expected. Queues for everything between the displays were too long to even consider joining, though we did manage to get a couple more pints. It felt safe, well organised, top event and fantastic fun. We managed to get two buses home without too much trouble too. Will definitely consider next year, great night.
A really great event..could hear the music everywhere.. CPalace has struggled with this in recent years..kiddies loved the first one with sings from frozen and the greatest showman,, saw Dads singing along..great finale to the main display set against Avicii.
I think I prefer a more old fashioned ?5.00 per adult kids go free type of event. I mean they are just fireworks! Was mighty pissed off to be woken from my slumbers at 11.55pm to fireworks going off near the top end of Upland Road. It's not bloody New Years Eve. Set them off at a civilised time ffs.

Agree with you tomskip! It's all become really commercialised! I didn't think Brockwell were having a firework display this year due to complaints/environmental issues but guess they went ahead.


I found there were safety issues at Brockwell Park years ago and only took my family once and we live just a 10-12 minute walk away.


Couldn't believe the music coming from Brockwell was even louder and more house thumping than the fireworks! Just hope any babies/young children had adequate ear protection!

I think that's why they have started charging for tickets, and presumably limiting the numbers.


However the fireworks at Southwark Park are still free to Southwark residents (I'm going tonight) but you still have to get a ticket in advance, presumably so that they can limit the numbers as well.

AQs with others I went to the Brockwell Park event when it was free - very good, but probably too crowded. Blackheath is similar and takes yonks to get home from.


Yesterday we went to Tower Hamlets bash at Victoria Park, even with the Central Line down not too bad to get to and whilst heaving felt easier to get out of and the opportunity to visit Bethnal Green, and do a bit of a Krays walk too.

    • We're are just about to get ready for sale, a 2 bed flat, very close to Peckham Rye park.  It has been rented out for sometime, so is in need of some TLC for it to look its best, before it goes on the market.  Would be interested to know others thoughts on whether its best to just have the place painted completely white throughout, probably with new grey flooring, or if it might be more appealing to add some colour/interest (nothing too drastic), perhaps something alittle 'warmer', with some nice (potentially dark) feature walls maybe? Wondered whether the days of going completely white might now have passed ..... It might be useful to know that its not a period or conversion property, but rather a flat in a private purpose built block. 
    • It's a Microsoft . pub file, and it does open OK, but that's a discontinued program which used to be part of the full Office suite. I've got an old machine with old software and it's still on that.  This is a .pdf version (I hope)April 2025 Dulwich Hill Newsletter.pdf
    • Even with Acrobat pro - it does not open even though it is an acrobat doc.   Error: "Adobe Acrobat could not open 'April 2025 Dulwich Hill Newsletter.pub' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then choose Save as Adobe PDF from the PDF dropdown in the Print dialog."  
    • I got my hair cut there and was very happy with it. I thought the pricing was fair - less than Blue Tit which is where I used to go. Jonny used to cut my hair years ago. I went to book him but ended up with Gabriele who did a great job. Will use them again. Also their junior price goes up to 17.
