It's our son's first birthday this weekend. With it being in late July we've planned a picnic to celebrate. Given the rain looks to continue does anyone have any ideas for an indoor location (our flat isn't big enough to fit everyone in!)?


I am going to see if St Faiths can help us but with it being a Sunday I'm doubtful.


Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Hi,


You could try the Living Water Satsifies cafe in Crystal Palace if that's not too far away. They have a back room they hire out for events. http://www.livingwatersatisfies.org.uk/venuehire


Or you could try the salvation army centre also in Crystal Palace. There's free parking for up to 4 hours behind Sainsburys just off Westow Street.

You could try the conservatory at the Horniman - I don't think you can book it and would have to get there early as it can get busy but it's an inside space where you can eat your own food. And then you could dash out to play in the gardens if it stops raining or go see the fish in the aquarium if it doesn't!

BBC weather website is now saying 23 degrees and sunny for Sunday so you might just get away with it. Nip down to B&Q buy an awning type thing that will act as shade from rain / sun and head off to your selected park spot. All will be well.


Saino's have some cute picnic plastic wear and rugs on offer too.

    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
