I was most impressed by the new farmers' market in Horniman Gardens this morning. Week one and they already had really good and reasonably priced fruit and veg, nice meat, bread and cheese stalls and some very appealing specialist stalls for cake, muffins pasta etc. One of the stallholders said it's on Saturday mornings weekly until at least Christmas to see how it goes - let's hope it get lots of local support and flourishes!

Logically, ScotsLass, maybe not. But these things seem to go together like chickens and fair isle and artisan cheese and carved wooden blocks.

Which of course could be utilised in the slicing of cheese.


Not judging in any way. Not being cynical in any other way. Merely BEING in A way.

It's all gravy baby!!! I will have to see if I can find out any info, might be a good one for me.

I agree - a great Saturday morning family activity. Such a lovely location and plenty to keep the kids amused - outdoor musical instruments, farm animals etc... and of course the museum itself if it rains. The market is small but hopefully it will grow in time, and there is a great (and cheap) veg stall.

Free parking at Sainsbury's Forest hill for 2 hours - just walk up the hill.

If you have a hankering for Halloween bring the little ones along tomorrow, there will be all sorts of fun activities during the day in and around the museum, and we will be there to paint the faces of all those who dare to come and see us at the food market, just listen for the sound of my vintage music being played on my wind up gramophones, might even have a couple of scary tunes too!!! If you are good us Aunties will let you have a lollipop, if you are still looking for a halloween outfit for the little ones we will have some surplus ones from our dressing up box going really cheap (all as good as new and laundered. Do come along and see how scary we are, or try and scare us!!!!!

Calling all new market-visiting dog walkers.


The Horniman has a lovely spacious designated dog exercise area of grass, just below the market terrace.


Dogs are NOT permitted in the wild woodland area between the lower footpath and Wood Vale, which is a nature reserve. There are so few genuinely wild bits of London we can forget how protective we need to be.


Please circulate the info, or the management will lock the gates again.

Thanks in advance for understanding and co-operation.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
