My son is now 1 but acts like a toddler, he walks, runs, climbs talks and is absolutely wild. Anyway for his birthday we took him to GODSTONE farm and they had an amazing soft play area for toddlers I was wondering if anyone had tried any in the area? I've heard of Brixton Wreck but I wanted reviews, can someone please point me in the right direction?


Thanks :)

We live softplay - we've been going since Baby belle was about a year.

Museum of London Docklands is our favourite - it's usually quiet, it's free, and it has a height restriction which means it is usually only open to those under three - other soft centres can be overrun with older children (probably more scary for mum than baby!)


We also like softplay at The National Army Museum in Chelsea - ?2.50 but you have to book in advance (tickets on sale a week before) and sessions sell out fast!


And the Science Museum is not softplay but has some brilliant areas - we love the garden in the basement, which has textured walls, great for babies to feel as they walk, a water area (bring spare clothes) giant soft lego area, and playmats. We spent three hours there this week.


All of the above are easy to get to with a buggy on public transport.we always make a day of it!

We like the one at Brixton Rec. During school hours it's nice and quiet and you can go in it with your kids so don't have to worry about them. Big enough to keep bigger kids happy too. There is a ramp for buggies to get to the main 1st floor entrance to the building (which looks a bit weird from the street, like a tunnel to nowhere.) We go there lots.
Cafe at little rascals seems to be closed for the foreseeable future - the sports centre management is changing & seems to be taking longer to handover than was anticipated. Go there for Bugglet's gymnastics & seems to be a feeling of apathy - the car park ticket machines are all out of order, so have to go & buy ticket @ reception which is a pain when towing a toddler in & out!

    • The Herne Hill Forum is raising money to replace the much-loved but decrepit wooden children’s trains outside Herne Hill station. The new train benches will be made of stainless steel with seasoned oak slats to sit on. The design is based on the Lord Nelson Class engines which passed through Herne Hill Station between 1926 and 1962 and the Pullman carriages in service at the same time. The trains will be painted green, the livery colour for Southern Railway in the 20s and 30s. Youngsters peering inside the carriages will glimpse some unexpected passengers: penguins commuting to work, an owl in a flap, a ghost on its way to Halloween, a fox and his friends, a heron migrating back to the hill and a bear checking tickets have all been smuggled on board. The carriages themselves will be clad with painted wooden boards for local artists and school children to repaint when necessary. The quality of the materials and the design should ensure the trains’ longevity but also come at a price. To cover the costs, the Forum has launched a crowd funding campaign and if all goes well, the new train benches should be installed by the spring.  Back the project here: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/herne-hill-train-benches (Admin, we know this is not ED but we didn't feel it was right for the Lounge so have put it here, given many ED-ers use Herne Hill. Apologies if it's in the wrong place!)
    • Exactly. I had to then scale down the rest of the ingredients. It's happened twice that I know of. 
    • That's annoying not just for the small amount of pennies they are taking incorrectly, but also because if you need a precise amount of something and you are more than 10% short a recipe might not work.
    • I also do not want to name a shop but there is one on Lordship Lane that sells fruit and veg and on several occasions now I have brought produce home to discover that what was weighed as 500g in the shop was 460g when I weighed it at home. And yes I checked my scales weren't wrong by weighing a 1KG bag of sugar. Beware folks.
