I had a great experience 2 years ago with the Oakwood Midwives who are based out of the Forest Hill Rd Group Practice. http://www.foresthillroadgp.co.uk/clinics.asp (see section on Antenatal Care).

Unfortunately, I had a several bad experiences with the GPs and HVs at the practice, and we changed to a different group medical practice a couple of months after my daughter was born.

I had my baby in July last year and i'd definitely recommend the Lanes Midwife practice based at Dulwich Medical Centre on Crystal Palace Road. It's over subscribed though so i'd get in as soon as possible.

Another recommendation for The Lanes at Dulwich Medical Centre. You need to go and register tomorrow morning. They get booked up very quickly.

The practice to avoid at all costs is the Melbore Grove Practice.

A tip: the receptionists at the dmc will get you to put your name on a list that they are supposed to give to the midwives to register you. In reality, this list tends to get lost. Happened to me. Make sure you follow up with a phone call to The Lanes within the week.
