We had a Nissan Note which was really family friendly. The interior feels much larger than it looks (my husband is very tall also and this car felt the most comfortable to him), and the boot can fit a decent sized buggy and a bit of shopping or a very large suitcase (not much more than that though). There are little tables built into the seat backs that fold out for your passengers, a feature I miss now in our current car.


There is a dealer in Penge that we bought from (think it's called Ancaster?), and we have no complaints. It's an easy bus ride from ED so that's helpful for repairs. We had a minor accident in Kent and the local Nissan dealer treated us as if we were their most important customers; very impressive.


The Penge dealer has a number of models in your price range right now.... they were great about letting us spend time driving each option and the sales person could not have been nicer or more helpful. I would buy that car from that dealer again, no question. Good luck!

Skoda octavia estate here too for family with a 3 and 1 yr old - enormous boot and if you get the vrs quite a bit of oomph. And parking sensors - important!! Only complaint would be with 2 car seats in the back there's not much room for a passenger in the middle - but this could be common to most non 3 seater width cars.

I don't own an Octavia, but I had a VRS estate hire car earlier this year. Very solid build, great to drive - as you say, quite a lot of oomph. Really impressed!

    • I was woken around midnight the other night as a Lime man tried to untangle a heap of three bikes someone had piled on my driveway. They block the pavements and people knock them over in frustration. I wrote to Lime and told them that in future any bikes left near my property would be securely stored away for collection at a mutually convenient time for both parties. I confiscated one at the weekend but a man knocked on our door looking to rent it while I was at work and my son gave it to him! I told Lime it's not fair of them to push the problem on to the local collection depots, they create the problem by allowing users to dump the things wherever they like. If they were penalized for doing so that would put an end to it.
    • The SDCAS Crowdfund campaign is now live: Help Save Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers! "I’m proud to be an advice volunteer at Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers (SDCAS), a community that welcomes and supports refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers in Southwark.

That’s why I’m asking you to support our emergency Crowdfunder: 👉https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/save-sdcas  Even a small donation, or sharing this with your friends and family, will make a huge difference in helping us to reach our £70,000 goal and keep SDCAS open.

    • The address is: Bradbury Oak House, 4 Underhill Road, SE22 0AH
    • "2.2.1 The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) has undertaken a comprehensive consultation process with its residents and stakeholders regarding the proposed development which aims to create 41 additional units and has been designed to address the growing demand for accessible and supportive accommodation for individuals with visual impairments. 2.2.2 The consultation process has been a key part of the planning phase, ensuring that the needs and preferences of current residents are taken into account. RNIB has held several meetings, workshops, and surveys to gather feedback on the design, facilities, and overall impact of the new development. Residents have been encouraged to share their views on various aspects, including accessibility features, communal spaces, and the integration of the new blocks with the existing infrastructure which has directly informed the proposals. 2.2.3 The Applicant also engaged with the local MP, Helen Hayes, and a couple of local councillors at the behest of RNIB tenants to provide new homes to promote independent living for its Blind and Partially Sighted residents"     Seems like a very sensible and necessary proposal to me.
