There is a temporary open air swimming pool at Decathlon Surrey Quays car park. You just need to get a Decathlon store card and you can swim for free. Most Odeon cinemas hav a cheap film every day in the holidays - costs ?2.50 each - adults free (this week is Alvin and the Chipmunks Chipwrecked). If you go to www.joininuk.org there are lots of cheap free sporty things to do. My daughter is going to Crystal Palace Sports Centre on Friday 10 - 1 to try out some athletics. How about ice skating at the new rink in Brixton? - Planet Ice (behind the tube station)

At Danson park in Sidcup you can book watersport activities. We did a 'birthday' booking for kayaking for 12 children and got friends to pay ?10 each - the children thought it was fab as they played lots of challenge games and got to fall in a bit. It lasted around 2 hours and we had a picnic afterwards.


Alternatively, you can book to walk over the top of the O2 at Greenwich, or go for a ride on the new cable car and walk around the Excel centre. You can also stand on the bridge and watch the planes leave City airport.


Or Debenhams in Oxford Street have opened their rooftop for crazy golf.

    • A belated recommendation for Iain and Paul od Oddbods who came to help me with various jobs before Christmas.  Painting ceiling, renewing silicone around bath, repairing a window sill which was almost beyond repair and hanging a large mirror.   Very happy with their work and they are friendly and very reliable and excellent at communicating.  No hesitation in recommending them.
    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
