Don't know of one though I do seem to remember someone trying to organise a game of boules in the distant past. I have thought (and this is from memory) that the area in Dulwich Park where there is/was a sandy stretch between the grass and the road would be ok for boules. This would be on the far side of the park if you entered from Court Lane (I think it's called). Near where the crap tennis courts are as opposed to the newer ones.

I've played on the sandy stretch in Dulwich Park that AM refers to - it's ok, not perfect and you tend to get in the way of joggers and suchlike.


Brockwell Park has the huge redgra football pitch which we've adopted as our home turf and is a great terrain as it can vary quite a lot within the space of a few metres and so keeps you on top of your game...


Otherwise, there's Cleaver Square in Kennington, which although not the best quality terrain, has the bonus of a lovely pub and a lot of regular players.


Bermondsey Square also a has a purpose built strip of terrain, though only big enough for 1 game.


I seem to remember that The Dog had a piste in its garden some many years back, but this has long been replaced by tables and chairs.


Please post back if you find anywhere else.

    • Gosh, that all sounds so familiar!  Southwark are constantly holding up their Outdoor Events Policy as proof of process, but then constantly allow exceptions when things aren't quite done correctly. Point in case, Gala's licence application - extract from the Consultation Findings Report - "The GALA team formally submitted their application to hold GALA 2025 to the council on the 7 October 2024. It is usually a requirement that applications for larger scale events are submitted with a minimum of 9 months to process them, but discretion can be applied if there are mitigating circumstances. 8.4 of the Outdoor Events Policy clarifies that processing applications received outside the stated lead-in times is at the Council's discretion. In this case: • The council were aware that Assembled Gala were preparing an application for the event to take place in 2025 in advance of their submission date, with operational discussions already taking place • GALA festival has been taking place in Peckham Rye Park since 2018 – less time is needed regarding event planning than if it were a new event • The GALA team already have a Premises Licence in place for this event (this is a pre- requisite for the Event Licence to be issued), so no time needed to be factored in for a premises licence application and decision-making process" So despite the fact that there would need to be major planning decisions due to the change of site access, they didn't think Gala needed to adhere to the same rules as everyone else? Makes me wonder what other rules they are exempted from... On a similar note, has anyone received a Resident Communication letter, containing the contact details for issues? We haven't, and we live directly opposite the site on Colyton Rd. They were supposedly distributed on 29/4...
