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.

      BAD ADVICE FROM HOLLAND & BARRETT

      By malumbu · Posted

      I've found it quite a useful thread.  Apparently protein powders are toxic. Not that I have ever, or will ever, try them.   https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-hidden-dangers-of-protein-powders

      What helps you keep on top of your home?

      Personally can’t stand carpets however where I am renting has carpet in  bedroom and hall. Not great quality and certainly not cleaned. Was  in B & M recently and looking at carpet shampoo -wow got a can costing £2.99 to test.. No scrubbing as others seemed to imply. Spray, leave and poof - smells great, no dabbing or scrubbing and c leaving rubbish. First to admit is only temp solution but no need to hire carpet cleaner instantly  or pay for a company to come and deal with professionally. For 3/6 months happy to have used this - Have a carpet cleaner and in a month or so plan to use it.    Buy a steam cleaner for floors - not expensive - much better than mop and bucket and more hygienic all round. Can pick up second hand ones on e bay.

      Is this a true story? What protein powder causes kidney damage? Why didn't you cite an article? I shop at H&B, mostly to buy their castor oil, however, I would recommend researching any product beforehand. They do have very informative articles on their website. To be honest, I don't see the point of this post. You could have just taken the product back for a refund or complained in store and in writing.

      Love Dulwich rebranding as Turkish Restaurant

      By beansprout · Posted

      Well the Italian on Lordship Lane  recommended here was delicious.  Thank you so very much -my party were extremely pleased with ambience, location and lovely food plus puddings to die for. They are also on Deliveroo.  Will certainly be back when I am back in 6 weeks time. Went past Love Dulwich at lunchtime on my way to Italian - only a party of 2 - food might be excellent but decided to give it a miss - wasn’t impressed with manager who admitted he had only been there 2 weeks. Might be being totally unfair but doubt it, as no comments since about a month ago from Pugwash.
