Have booked Horniman this year & now feel bit wobbly about it having seen feint praise on here!


Went last year to the Whippersnapper's grotto in Dulwich Park - it is a lot more, but you get a full hour experience which included drinks, making/decorating gingerbread, meeting a reindeer, face painting & meeting Santa/getting a pressie & picture.


Hadn't realised it was on again this year & having seen lots on here last year about the Horniman/the messages to book quickly before they all go, got tickets thinking they'd be well worth it... Can anyone reassure that the Horniman is worth while/better than it has been made to sound on here?!

Went to the Horniman today and was really disappointed with the Santa. My daughter is nearly 3 and can be a bit shy but had geared herself up to saying her name and how old she was and worked out what she would like etc. we went in there full of confidence but he didnt engage her or her friend at all! He briefly asked them what they wanted before going on some bizarre monologue about pop music and how he is going on tour with Jessie j and how Robbie Williams is desperate to make some money. It was really strange. There was nothing about being a good girl etc. complete waste of money in my opinion.

Last year we went to Battersea Park Zoo for a day out and went to see Father Christmas even though we hadn't planned it. It was lovely, no queue, lovely pressies and 'elves'! It was only ?5 but you have to pay to get into the zoo which isn't particularly cheap. Went to the horniman this year but wish we had gone back to battersea!

    • Oh give it a break.  We have an MP who makes racist comments, yet our media (and what seems like this Forum) that generally hate Labour (and loved Johnson) are just out looking for the dirt. It's a move on, nothing to see here.  Particularly if she used a letting agency.
    • Hi all, I highly recommend Rob Mills Gas Safe boiler engineer, helpful and knowledgeable. contact number 07952584171    
    • I don't think a single all-inclusive URL is easily doable.  When you enter a search the system presents the result without any of one's search parameters added to the URL.  So I suggest you go to https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/search.do?action=advanced where you just need to enter the address -- use SE22 8EW -- and the  Date Received start date.  I used 1/1/2025.  The three Tesco applications, all minor things, were all made in May.  The Simple search that I'd done previously had no time limit, and didn't include anything else that might have been from Tesco in the last two years. Incidentally, when I searched on the address 29-35 Lordship Lane it did not pick up the Tesco applications, which were held as 29 - 35 Lordship Lane Grrr!
