Can anyone help! I want to change my doctors, as the one I'm at present is too far. The best choices for me would be the one on Crystal Palace ROad or the one on Forest hill Road. I have a 4 month old baby so I'm particulary interested in what the health visitors are like but also the doctors. Has anyone had good or bad experiences with either of these? Thanks x

I am with the dulwich medical centre on crystal palace road. It used to be a good practice but it is now next to impossible to make an appointment. It's becoming a real problem. See the thread in the general section of the forum. Apart from that, The midwives are fab and I liked my health visitors on townley road very much.

I'm with Forest Hill Road and mostly happy. There are a few nice HVs although the baby clinic gets busy- arrive early! Most of the GPs I've seen have been helpful. It can take a while to get an appointment but I have always managed to either see or speak to a GP on the same day when one of my children has been ill.

Also with DMC, Crystal Palace Rd and always managed to get an appointment for my daughter on the same day if I called that morning. Obviously, if it wasn't urgent then the wait was longer but that's reasonable. I think they prioritise babies/children esp in the context of fever, rashes etc. I can't comment about the wait for appt for adults, as have no personal experience. Also, The Lanes Midwifery Team are affiliated to the DMC but they have a long waiting list so being registered with the DMC doesn't guarantee a place on their books.

I don't have children but I recently changed to The Gardens Surgery and its been really great so far-no problem getting appointments. The reception staff are very friendly and helpful. They also run a seperate baby clinic (not for ill children, I think its more for vaccinations etc) which might be good for you?

The Gardens surgery is brilliant. Have had two children and been under their care for both. A great baby clinic, Penny, the lady who runs that is fantastic!


The catchment for the Gardens is VERY strict (which is probably why they have less problems with appointments etc, I think they keep their patient list more manageable) so you will need to call them, tell them the road you live in and they will let you know if you're in their area.


Good luck!

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
