I went to this yesterday and wasn't overly excited by it. A well dressed Santa in a Gingerbread House but no grotto to walk through to reach him. He had a bit of chat about him but not too much. Spoke to my younger child but not at all to the older one. Gift was reasonable but all in all an over-priced too short experience. 4yr old happy and I just felt 'oh well at least we didn't have to queue for hours for that'. Much more decoration needed in the conservatory and Santa needed to be more chatty to all of us.

Yes I agree - it was painless as in no queues and the conservatory was magical all lit up (we went at dusk) BUT the experiences was very, very simple.


Wasn't sure why the doors weren't kept shut to the grotto so Father Christmas was 'revealed' rather than just sat there in full view.


I felt a little bit more thought to making the event magical wouldn't have gone amiss or even cost much ... A screen up in front of the grotto or at least keeping the door shut! Good value overall as just ?8 per child and a nice unisex gift, good for quite a wide age range.

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
