Hi Londoners,


After a 2.5 year hiatus, my english hubby and our two little daughters are coming back to London to see all our english relies and friends (we live in Sydney).


I want to arrange an afternoon at a pub where all our friends (and their kids) can come along... so would be VERY grateful for any suggestions of good pubs around East Dulwich that are kid-friendly. It will be in April, probably on a Saturday or Sunday arvo. People will be coming from all over, so ideally somewhere that has good transport links.


Thanks in advance!

Rachel

The Actress, though if there is a big football match on it can be very packed, though there is a family area which is away from the screen so you can generally find a seat, but the tables are mostly 2 or 4 seaters so not great for a group on a weekend.

the crown and greyhound in Dulwich village (few mins walk from north Dulwich station) is very family friendly, the biggest table you can book in the pub restarant is for 10 (but you could get around this by booking that table and another if the group was larger) and they have an online booking request form you could email. If the weather is nice they have a big beer garden.

Agree with EGL about The Victoria. You might also consider The Paxton which is a couple of minutes from Gypsy Hill station. It has lots of safe enclosed outdoor space and a small children's play area outside. Good food and they can cater for children.

The Herne also has the barn at the back that you can rent out - if the numbers would justify it. Would mean your kids can run around a bit more without worrying too much about annoying others and it doesn't feel too much like a function room. Although generally so many kids around on a nice day, noise is not that much of a problem!

Thanks so much for all the suggestions, really appreciate it. I think we might opt for the Crown & Greyhound in Dulwich Village, as it's a 5 min walk from where we're staying. Makes it nice and easy for us!


The Herne does look brilliantly set up for kids. We might have to check that out while we're there too...

      Dehumidifier to borrow

      By bidvid · Posted

      Hello,  I feel as though our apartment is damp. I would like to borrow a dehumidifier to ascertain whether it is or not. Does anyone have a dehumidifier that I could borrow for a week?  thank you,    Brigid

      How late is your Christmas Card

      Post much better this Xmas.  Sue posted about whether they send Xmas cards; how good the post is,  is relevant.  Think I will continue to stay off Instagram!

      How late is your Christmas Card

      These have reduced over the years, are "perfect" lives Round Robins being replaced by "perfect" lives Instagram posts where we see all year round how people portray their perfect lives ?    The point of this thread is that for the last few years, due to issues at the mail offices, we had delays to post over Christmas. Not really been flagged as an issue this year but I am still betting on the odd card, posted well before Christmas, arriving late January.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By malumbu · Posted

      Two subjects here.  Xmas cards,  We receive and send less of them.  One reason is that the cost of postage - although interestingly not as much as I thought say compared to 10 years ago (a little more than inflation).  Fun fact when inflation was double digits in the 70s cost of postage almost doubled in one year.  Postage is not a good indication of general inflation fluctuating a fair bit.  The huge rise in international postage that for a 20g Christmas card to Europe (no longer a 20g price, now have to do up to 100g), or a cheapskate 10g card to the 'States (again have to go up to the 100g price) , both around a quid in 2015, and now has more than doubled in real terms.  Cards exchanged with the US last year were arriving in the New Year.  Funnily enough they came much quicker this year.  So all my cards abroad were by email this year. The other reason we send less cards is that it was once a good opportunity to keep in touch with news.  I still personalise many cards with a news and for some a letter, and am a bit grumpy when I get a single line back,  Or worse a round robin about their perfect lives and families.  But most of us now communicate I expect primarily by WhatApp, email, FB etc.  No need for lightweight airmail envelope and paper in one.    The other subject is the mail as a whole. Privitisation appears to have done it no favours and the opening up of competition with restrictions on competing for parcel post with the new entrants.  Clearly unless you do special delivery there is a good chance that first class will not be delivered in a day as was expected in the past.   Should we have kept a public owned service subsidised by the tax payer?  You could also question how much lead on innovation was lost following the hiving off of the national telecommunications and mail network.
