Our family is new to East Dulwich (though we've lived in London 2 years) and looking forward to meeting new people. We're happy to meet people of all backgrounds, but I was curious if there happen to be any American expat moms out there who might want to meet? We're originally from Atlanta, GA but lived in San Francisco for 4 years before moving to London. I'm a full-time mom with a 3.5 year old and one on the way. Our daughter would also love to meet some new little friends. :)

Hey there,


I'm an American expat mom-to-be with a baby who was due to be born on the 4th of July. No idea when he'll actually arrive now, since he seems to be overdue. I have a friend who lives in Dulwich Village who has two daughters ages 2 & 4 though. They sound like they'd be perfect companions for your daughter.


Look forward to meeting you!

And another one here. April marked my 11th year in London and have been in fabulous ED for about 20 months now. I too am a working Mom with Fridays off (like Rebecca) and have an independent 16-month old daughter who loves playing in Dulwich or Peckham parks. Look forward to hearing more about an American Mommy meet-up!

Let's hear it for the American mums! I am on my 6th year in London. Originally from Fort Worth and then Los Angeles. I have a 6 month old and would love to plan a get together. We are on Maxted off of Bellenden Road. Looks like Fridays work for most. Shall I throw out a date of July 20th as a proposed date to meet up? Would the 27th work better? Which park works better for everyone? Peckham Rye cafe or Dulwich cafe? I ordered an american flag for our 4th of July party so I can be brave and put it on one of the tables to signify A MEETING OF THE AMERICAN MUMS! Huxley (6 month old) and I can do either date and park.

Sounds great to me! I was going to suggest the same, a Friday meet-up :) I vote for sooner than later, so the 20th would be my pick. And I'd be happy with either park cafe. Maybe 11am? What do others think of that time? I was thinking some moms might have to get back for kids to nap after lunch. Looking forward to meeting lots of moms and kids!

Hi ladies,

Another one here. I'm originally from the Austin,TX area and have been in London for the past 3 1/2 years. I live in dulwich village and am pregnant with my first baby. He's due August 19th and am super keen to meet other mums from the States. Meredith I got an email from Tess (NCT) telling me about you and this group. Would love to meet you!

Hello American mommas,


Looking forward to seeing whomever can make it tomorrow to Peckham Rye cafe at 2. Fingers crossed the weather is not disgusting. I will bring my embarrassing american flag and drape it on my pram so we can look out for each other!

    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
