I'm registered there - trying to be diplomatic, I opt to see the female GP rather than the male one. I found her incredibly helpful over the last couple of years.


The practice nurse is fine, offer some decent services. Booking appointments.... if you don't mind who you see then you can get an appt fairly promptly, if you are specific it can take a week. Having said that, i've had some same day appts by getting cancellation appts.

I really like them here - I've been with them for 10 years and they're really helpful. If ever I've needed an appointment for one of the children I always get one that day which I think is brilliant. Saying that luckily most of our ailments over the years have been very minor - not sure what they're like for serious issues. x
The only problem we have had in 15 or so years is that after having routine check-up blood tests I was supposed to contact them to enquire after results (which I wasn't told) whereas if there is a problem with the blood tests then my experience with other surgeries is that they will contact you.

Unfortunately, we're not in the catchment area for The Gardens and DMC are a nightmare. Looking for somewhere where you can book an appointment without having to wait 3 weeks and the doctors are half decent! Doesn't seem to be easy.

I hear lots of good things about The Gardens, so it's a real shame we can't register.

    • I have not. Both things are true.
    • I have been thinking about it and what I have loosely come up with so far are sites and types. Sites Here, Comment is Free, the Independent, the BBC (difficult as their comments section is only ever on trivia), The Telegraph (less so but increasing), The times (rapidly increasing), New Statesman, Spectator (much less so but some increase) even the Daily Mail and UnHerd (perhaps even union platforms, agit-prop and "progressive" platforms, XR, "middle-East", Just Stop Oil, Reddit, Bluesky, Truth Social etc.) I am sure the AI will find more to cross-reference. Types Astro-turfers, single-issue obsessives (frequently overlap with Astro-turfers), floral enforcers, ideologues, political staff, hypocrites, luxury belief pushers, Igors and Renfields. The vast majority are; normal local residents a bit frustrated with something; those looking for a tradesman; or just the friendly saying hello and looking for a bit of community. Spartacus thank you. Although you should probably find something else  more interesting to occupy your time; my energy for this is rapidly deflating. It won't disappear and I will get it done (once I work out which AI and which parameters to use) but it might not happen for a while. I saw your comment on the PIP thread; you have to use your single worst day to apply. Being bravely determined not to be defeated (a quality most normal people find admirable and honourable) means your claim can easily be rejected or at least made difficult. "I will get up, I will walk to the shop, I will cook". Those are the tests you have to make clear you only ever fail at. Sorry but its the truth. I wish you good luck with it.
    • Going by tracking information they go via Croydon and East Dulwich (Peckham) sorting offices. Round my way, and I know it varies from street to street, delivery of tracked items brought by the regular postman is mostly reliable. I've noticed if there isn't a postman doing a regular round, there may be a walking postman just delivering the tracked items. 
    • Are the parcel services organised by the local sorting office? We always notice parcels delivered by the vans are delivered on time but those that come via the postie can be unpredictable and we often get a "you were not in" when no-one even attempted delivery.
