hi everyone!


I'm just about to start up a business that may include maternity and childrens wear but I just wanted to see what people in East Dulwich thought was missing from the area


I know there are a few baby shops already that include maternity/ nursing wear but is there anything you would like to see on the shop floor?? are prices too high or just right?


all opinions would be much appeciated! just trying to get a feel for what is missing in the market x

Re maternity wear - availability of long sleeves in winter would be nice. And an alternative to jersey, I know its practical, but I'm so sick of being jersey-clad!


(RuthN - Verbaudet and Serephine do 'before and after' tops and dresses, and not as expensive as I thought)

There's already lots for maternity/baby wear but definitely short on older children's clothing shops. Personally I'd say some of those that fail were way too expensive for kids clothing. Should be fun, decent quality and good value. As a Mum of 2 boys I also find most shops offer the same standard fair in brown, blue or khaki so stuff that's a bit different/funky is always good and there's not many places offering it.

As others have said, maternity and baby wear are all too expensive for the relatively short period of time they are worn for...?10+ for a single baby grow is too expensive (IMO) and has to be pretty amazing/personalised if I am to buy it as a gift. More likely to buy a lovely, even if more expensive, cardigan as a baby gift, as it is more likely to be worn for a longer period.


Oh, and more unisex clothes that are not just white/grey/beige....dull, dull, dull.

The general choice of clothes for boys (2+ years) is terrible, but what really gets on my goat is that although outside it is -5 and my son has lost his hat/mittens/scarf/grown out of his vests/torn his coat badly,just because it is the 2nd of January all the stuff out there is the spring/summer collection.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
