Hello, a friend mentioned there was a nice lady who lives in the Dulwich area and is apparently brilliant on breast feeding and happy to give new mums advice. If this magical woman exists, does anyone know how I contact her? Also, are there any breast feeding groups in the Dulwich/Forest Hill/Sydenham area? The ones Kings directed me too are all in Camberwell! Thank you

If in person possibly Claire kedves at kings? Don't have a number I'm afraid but someone else prob will, if online then there are many on here that fit your description!


Not sure about current locations of breast feeding cafes, someone will no doubt be along shortly to help with that!

Hi Samantha,


Our local cafes are inside Townley Road clinic on a Monday morning 10-12 and Peckham library 5th floor Thursday morning 10-11.30. Please turn up to either for advice or support. Bare in mind as it gets so busy, especially at Peckham, that although sessions run until 12 you should turn up before 11.30am, especially if you are looking for advice/support. Both great cafes to have on our doorstep. Some people come from reasonably far to visit Southwark cafes. I recommend getting to either within the first half an hour of session.


I believe there is also one at the Albrighton Centre on Dog Kennel Hill but I'm afraid I don't know day or time for this one, someone else might.


Good luck x

The La Leche League (LLL) South East London meetings take place in the areas you mentioned. This is their website which gives details of their meetings: http://lllselondon.weebly.com/


What sort of person had your friend heard of (i.e. was it a professional) and what sort of advice was she looking for?

Hi I think the lady you might be after is Hazel who is brillant. She lives in East Dulwich but will come to your house too (for a fee). Her contact details are:


Hazel Jones IBCLC

But I'll second that Anna Cannon is also great.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
