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.

    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead?
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds?
