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.

    • 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.
