I understand from Dulwich OnView that each library was allocated 200 tickets and could hand out up to 4 tickets per person, so they were bound to go quickly. There are some libraries which weren't open today and will therefore hand out their allocation tomorrow, of which Grove Vale Library is one I believe.


All of the tickets at Dulwich Library had gone by 9am when my son's childminder turned up after the school run.

I understand the Shard are only giving out 4,000 tickets to Southwark residents, and for January only.

I don't know how many libraries there are in Southwark but if they're only giving out to the first fifty (say times four tickets), howcome only 200 tickets to one library. There's aren't THAT many libraries left in Southwark are there?


(Too ill to do the maths...)

I knew somebody would come up with some such sanctimonious bollocks. I was fishing for it in a way, I suppose.

There are 12 libraries in Southwark. The ED librarian told me that more tickets were allocated to those nearer the Shard so presumably ED got the fewest (200). Some are closed on Wednesdays so you might get lucky tomorrow if you're keen enough to travel on the offchance.

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
