I have booked a flu jab for next week with my GP surgery, but they don't do Covid jabs, and I'd rather get them both done at once.

Are there any reasonably local pharmacies who do this, and if so is it walk in or would I need to make an appointment?

Thanks!

Obviously I would cancel the one with my GP!

If you're not comfortable with lots of people in a small space, I'd recommend avoiding peak times though 😎

FYI I went to Sogim yesterday, there were four of us waiting plus customers coming and going and it's a pretty small space, standing room only.

There are also two pharmacies in Nunhead giving vaccinations. 

[You'll need to put in a valid neighbouring (eg SE15 3HB) full postcode to get to their entries.]

ETA: not so actually. Don't know how that happened -- they are included when I enter my SE22 postcode.  Incidentally, Kristal do walk-ins too.  I was in and out with a flu jab in five minutes this morning, after having phoned (15 min. :-)) to check, as the online system doesn't do same-day bookings.)

Thanks so much everyone for all this info, it was very easy for me to get an appointment for both jabs.

I chose Kristal in Nunhead because although it's less convenient, they were great when I went there before.

I'm not keen on Sogim for reasons unrelated to the above (I've had very poor service there in the past).

I don’t live in ED but strangely have had 2 text messages from Kristals advising me to book my flu and Covid jabs which are available online and to have at the same time. This was in September. I’ve never had a flu jab but had 4 Covid jabs when advised to have them and I wanted them anyway but  never had them at Kristal’s but at various places that were offering me them at the time when needed. Last one I had to travel to a Covid jab site in Kennington!

Agreed on Sogim - no attempt made to physically space customers. Avoid 

Four Ways near to HH station has space inside and outside, with chairs. 

 But why do places offering jabs need to physically space customers?  Just be grateful that you can receive a potentially life saving treatment.

Just had my flu and Covid jabs at Kristals.

I was early, but didn't have to wait long, and there is a reasonably big waiting area which only had one or two people in it.

The jabs themselves were quick and easy, and the staff friendly and helpful, so all good 

I realised when I got there that it wasn't actually Kristals I  went to last time. It must have been the smaller pharmacy on that stretch, but they didn't have a notice in their window saying they were doing the jabs 

What a strange place Kristals is, though! I could have picked up some hardware stuff while I was there!

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.

      Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !

      That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
