Hilly Fields Park water is up and running in the playground. There is sand play also and a cafe at the top of the Park.


Plus Ladywell Fields has a small stream running through it, which is a really nice natural play area. The stream is a dogleg of the Ravensbourne River running behind Lewisham Hospital. There's also a cafe, mini-skatepart (smallest ramp suitable for ~3yo on scooter), and two playgrounds.

Went to myatts field today and there was a sign up saying it was broken but actually it did come on every 20 minutes to the sound of massive cheering and frenzied jumping in the water from all the children...the sign said it would be fully working tomorrow but I am only reporting what the sign said, wouldnt vouch for it!

Boooo! It was on earlier. Hope it's not the same problem as before. I heard they had to specially order a part from Germany (although I don't know why that should take all summer... thought maybe Lewisham was just too cheap to turn on the water last year!)

Is Sydenham Wells park doable on public transport?


We went to Burgess Park this morning. They have water fountains outside the under fives playground off Albany Road. It was great, not crowded at all. Probably not enough for older children as the jets weren't very high but perfect for toddlers. The cafe is nice too and has good children's pasta and toasted sandwiches. There is a small car park but we went on the bus and walked from Walworth Road.

We take the 363 from Peckham Rye when we go to Sydenham Wells, can't quite remember the stop where we jump off (Wells Park Road?), but then it's only 10 minute walk down to the park.

No cafe, so a picnic essential.

Myatt's Fields and Brockwell Park are great, when they're on! But both can become very busy, so Sydenham Wells is nicer for being a bit more low key.

Yes you need your own supplies at Sydenham Wells but its a good play area with plenty of grass to sit down & shady places if required. I prefer it to Myatts Field from that point of view, though as the children get older its easier to position oneself a little further away & let them just 'boomerang' to check in at intervals. Best when not too busy tho!

I was at Hilly Fields on Monday, and neither the pump nor the water fountain were working. :(


Also, if anyone is going to Ladywell Fields, be aware of the road closure to through traffic in Ladywell at the bridge due to massive roads works. This is affecting the P4/122/484 bus services, although there is a free shuttle bus in place to amend the alterations to service.

      Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s

      The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
