Hello all, can anybody clear up my confusion over these playgroups please? Are they separate things or the same group?...I cannot seem to find the Albrighton Centre (driven around and around the streets oppposite Sainsburys, off Dog Kennel Hill) and where on Coppleston Road is the Coppleston Tuesday morning group please? Is it in the church there?

I'm sorry if I'm being really dumb but I can never find either of them or anyone who knows where they are and would love to try new groups on a Tuesday morning during these rainy weeks. My two are one and three, I presume they would be suitable? Thanks!

....Apologies for mis-spelling of Copleston :-)It appears that they are separate groups. One in the church on Copleston Road- has anyone been, do you just park on the street there? The Albrighton Community Centre seems to be in the estate opposite Sainsburys. Again, any good?...and where can you park?

Hi fmay


Albrighton Centre and the Coppleston are separate, and both offer a range of services for under 5s and other sections of the community. Ideally we compliment each other rather than clash.


Albrighton Centre is location on Albrighton Road, towards the centre of East Dulwich Estate. Albrighton Road is the higher of two roads that cut through the estate, and can be reached via Dog Kennel Hill, about three quarters of the way up, opposite the Adventure Playground, or by entering the estate from Bromar Road.


Albrighton Road has street parking, which is free (there is no controlled parking scheme in the area), or there are also parking spaces for the centre on the Bromar Road side of Albrighton Road.


I'm sorry you are having problems finding us - when you do, its a nice place!


We currently have a number of outreach activities for under 5s provided by South Camberwell Children's Centre, East Dulwich Community Nursery, and also directly managed by ourselves, in additional many other activities and services you might be interested in for yourself.


Tumble is currently running from 10.00am to midday on Tuesdays, and is a soft play activity session for children aged 2 to 5 years, also we understand that parents often have more than one child and ages can vary. Younger siblings are most welcome, but parents just need to be extra careful with younger ones to make sure they don't get accidently bumped or knocked by slightly older children.


The session comprises a slide, 2 bouncy castles, a ball pit and a range of other soft play equipment.


I hope this helps you (and any others) find your way to us.


We are also always looking for new ideas for activities at the centre, so if there is anything you would like to see, please feed back to us with your thoughts.


Cheers


Steve

    • yes that's the one!  it was (nearly) harmless fun to get the un-initiated to put the coin in for you i also seem to remember that the Hanway Street place was called Govinda's.  it was vegetarian, vegan even - but it was much more palatable fare than the standard Hare Krishna stuff.  I also used to go tot he Indian Y - which I remmber discussing on the EDF some eyars ago.  And then the first Wagamama opened off Russell Street
    • Sometime in the mid 80s, the first incarnation was on Peckham Rye near the new old Tesco’s
    • Off topic (ish) but does anyone else remember when Blue Mountain opened? They had chocolate coated coffee beans and a range of coffee beans sold loose, and I can't remember whether it was freshly baked  bread or rolls or croissants or  something else, but my then partner used to go and buy it/them in the morning. And behind the part with the counter, it was divided into several little rooms, all different colours and styles. There was another room upstairs, though I can't remember if that was open from the beginning  It was great. It went through many incarnations after that, before eventually sadly closing, but I liked the first one best. Also off topic (ish) there was a Greek? Turkish? deli opposite. My then partner bought some yoghurt there once, and when he got it home he found it was months (I think) past its sell by date. He took it back. The guy in the shop opened it up, looked at it, sniffed it and said "There's nothing wrong with that." 😂
    • However, some would particularly like to avoid reviews of the 'there are far too many mice'; 'the cakes are deteriorating badly' nature. If you consider that a 'Negative Nelly' response. My experience was that the hot drinks and the varieties of e.g. teas on offer, were generally a positive element. As were the staff serving.
