Another idea for picnic space which I did yesterday. But not in ED!

Check the tide tables and eat on the Thames "beach".

Yesterday I found myself at the beach which is accessible by stairs right next to the Surrey Docks Farm.

There is a quite a bit of sand but the rest of it is rocks and stones, so take a fold up table and chairs (!!!)

Orrr as in my case, just sit on the stairs. Absolutely lovely, totally alone, and when the pleasure tourist boats come by you can wave at them, and also see the Isle of Dogs buildings across the river.

No, seriously, it was absolutely devine. Walking up the stairs leading to the door to the beach, there are blackberries so had some of them too!

And to my shock when I walked around Surrey Docks Farm itself, on a sign right in front for all to see, they advertise the fact they're now selling organic lamb and pork!!

  I hadn't read that article. I think I read it in another article or post quoting figures which were possibly wrong. Many of the people protesting their "unhappiness" appear to be racist. They don't appear to protest about white immigrants from, say, Australia. Nor do they come out waving flags to protest about, say, domestic violence by white men, unless you have evidence to the contrary?

  This thread hasn't been updated for a while. For the Sept 2025 intake (i.e. the kids starting this week), the Charter East Dulwich school website says the 'longest distance' offered was 1700m (as of 1st May 2025 - I guess it might have increased a bit more after 1st May 2025). Below is a map of 1700m - but parents should still apply even if outside this circle (the distance has been increasing each year, as local demographics change etc) For those considering applying for Sept 2026, this recent Ofsted report is very encouraging - https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50249504 - it basically says the school would have been graded as 'Outstanding', but it was not a 'graded inspection' so they are not officially allowed to say that. Obviously Ofsted has its limitations (!), but the text in this report is very complimentary. And the recent GCSE and A level results are the best yet: https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/post/year-11-students-at-the-charter-school-east-dulwich-achieve-strongest-gcse-results-yet https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/post/sixth-form-students-at-charter-east-celebrate-best-ever-results An unapologetically pro-Charter East Dulwich post 🙂
