I have kids aged 9, 6 and 3 who enjoy both. But we have visited DKH more and had birthdays there too. Although we don't have major preferences I do find that the facilities in DKH are a bit more dated, but the indoor space is bigger than the one in Peckham. I have had some unsavoury encounters with other children who are shall we say "not so nice" in DKH as opposed to Peckham which did put me off going to DKH for a while, which was a shame...I'm talking 6 year olds bullying and swearing and that's at me not the children!

Yes as number 2 found apparently from next week no under 5s will be allowed on any of the play structures. We had fun today with a group of 4 and 2.5 year olds - a shame it will be a while before we can go again!!


Oh - just to add - I thought it was easier to keep track of everyone than dkh - just better visibility and fewer dark corners.

Given DKH and Peckham Rye clearly state 8+ (or 5+ on some parts of Southwark website relating Peckham Rye) on their websites I don't understand why people so keen to thrust much younger children in there. Plenty of, adventurous, playspaces available for younger children and why should older children in Adventure playgrounds designed for them have to look out for, and in some instances have their play restricted by, 2, 3, 4, 5 year olds?

Could be something to do with having more than one child to cater for rather than 'thrusting' them in there lol! Try separating my was 4 now 5-year old from his 8-year old brother for example! Most people monitor and look after the younger ones and keep them on few more suitable areas of the PR one or just on the grassy areas anyway so as to avoid 'restricting' the play of older ones.

Its always great to hear feedback on the playground. Whilst we state 8 plus, this is when children are left unnatended.


We welcome under 5's as many parents come with a mixture of ages & some kids who have been coming from when they were babies even so are used to the structures & space. We love having the mothers in with their babes in arms!


I know we are in need of un updated building, I regularly day dream about how wonderful one would be! Be great to have your email addresses so i could get an idea of what facilities you would like to see.


Sorry for those that have experienced rude children.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
