Hi


I've just moved to Beckenham from East Dulwich with my other half and our one year old, but don't know any other mums here. I was wondering if there were any other Beckenham mums on the forum who can suggest a friendly toddler group or who'd be up for meeting for a coffee or something.


Loving Beckenham but missing all my ED mates!

What do you want to know?


If you are looking to move to Beckenham, and have or are planning to have children, then you'd be best looking at schools, and then looking at roads after you have worked out schools.


The Drive, The Crescent and Church Avenue are not traditionally in the catchment of any 'good' school. Durban road is normally in Balgowan's catchment. Although, they have a bulge class this year so it might be worth making sure you are not at the far end in case the bulge class shrinks the catchment. Having said that, there is also the new Harris free school, which might mean the Balgowan catchment post bulge isn't stupidly small.


If you aren't interested in schools, then it'll depend on what style houses you like, how close you want to be to the train station etc.

Hello Beckenham and surrounding area mums! I also moved from East Dulwich to Beckenham a year ago and it's taken me a while to find my feet (still not sure where I've put them). Happy to share nuggets gleaned so far and to meet up. Have 3 yr old boy and 18 month old girl so activity-based is always a winner!
Hello ED to Kent ladies, shall we grab the bull by the horns and attempt to meet? Don't know what your family/work commitments are like but how about meeting on Friday 27th June at Kelsey Park in Beckenham - say 10ish? - and whoever can make it turns up. If it's a success we can try something more regular and if not we need never try it again! Let me know if you fancy it....

Hello!


I'd love to join in on the 27th. I moved to Beckenham from Peckham a few months ago and am still schlepping back to ED to see friends. It would be great to make a few more here. I've got a 17 month old.


Let me know if all still goes ahead and I'll see you in Kelsey Park.


Kate

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • 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.
