I think the toilets were closed initially to reduce the amount of time spent in parks and also to stop cross-contamination from touching doors, handles and taps.


Now that the rules have changed and people can spend longer than an hour in the park, reopening toilets with the caveat 'Covid 19 can stay on hard surfaces for three days', makes sense.

People are travelling unnecessarily because they can....saw about 10 cars outside the Alleyn's field today and there were loads of people in there- no toilets there and it stinks around the edge where there are peoples' garden gates....disgusting and unnecessary.

Alleyn's is my nearest open space but can't be used really just for walking around.

The toilets in Dulwich Park were always pretty dire but hope Southwark Council can now realise that most parks/public places need suitable toilets and give them a bit of a make-over!


There used to be so many public toilets in Southwark parks.


Then again I can remember visiting the public toilets that used to be in Camberwell in the 1970s/1980s.

Yes they were something else, Stained glass, polished brass and spotless with a man in his room who took no nonsense.


A real joy to visit. In fact the toilets island in the 70/80 was a real meeting social hub when you went out for the night not for the reason that spring to mind today.


What do we have today a silver tube on the pavement/park.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
