Took my brood to Gambados the other day and we queued up to try the newish climbing wall. We were second in the queue and watched as the Gambados chap attempted to tie the harness security knot on the child whose turn it was. It soon became obvious he couldn't tie it securely. He kept trying to tie it then changing his mind and pulling it apart and starting again. He continued to try for several moments, undoing and retrying and you could see he was reciting the instructions to himself as to how to do it but just getting it wrong each time.


I told my kids I wasn't happy that he knew what he was doing and we left the queue.


In fairness to him, he eventually decided to give up and didn't let the first child go on it and closed the wall.


If you go, be extremely cautious and watch to see how competent the staff are before letting your child near this.

      Clapham to Dulwich Advice

      I think a lot depends on how you will deal with school drop offs and pickups in primary school. If you’re going to have a nanny to do that then great, but if you’ll be doing that yourself you’ll need to factor the home -> school -> station timings. Our son went state (Belham and Charter East) which with wrap around care made the timings manageable. I don’t know if the private primaries have busses, so maybe it’s not so bad… Commute wise it depends where in the city you work. Thameslink is great if you’re near St Paul’s or Farringdon. Southern to London Bridge and then tube or bus (though I hate changing to the Northern Line at rush hour at LB). Or even for some places Windrush to Lizzie line, district line or walk (when I go to Bishopsgate I tend to walk from Shoreditch High St).    Choosing  a station with options helps with any transport disruption so Herne Hill of the places you listed. If you’re looking further afield, towards Denmark Hill has good connections and you can walk/cycle down Greendale to get to Alleyn’s or JAGs. You might also consider some of the streets near Warwick Gardens on the Peckham side, the Villa is a well regarded pre-prep and Peckham Rye station is well connected.  Good luck.
