I totally agree...

I often feel like I'm in a creche when I'm paying good money to eat breakfast or lunch, or even just a coffee in one of the local eateries.

I'm not a child hater..far from it..HOWEVER I do find the whole of ED seems to be catering for the buggy brigade more and more.

Would've thought most people would walk/use public transport - it's hardly an isolated spot!


ETA - looking at the website, thin key mean free street parking as opposed to the Herne Hill location which had restrictions on many of the roads nearby.

there is a great cafe in melbourne which has a cafe with supervised soft play attached. you pay for x amount of minutes and send your kid off to play with a nanny watching over them. you can see them through a glass wall.


it def aimed at families but its good for everyone as the kids are off in a separate area playing while the grownups are having their coffees or whatever.

Then sell your house, move to the Outer Hebrides and buy an acre of land just to park your car.


Vast majority will walk there anyway.

Oh no, I live on a near-by road and I don't think I had understood the enormity of what is happening here.

Could you provide a bit more detail as to what form this disaster will take?

I understand the comments regarding cafes catering for kids but I think part of the reason that so many of the cafes are over-run with buggies is because the area is lacking in a space that is big enough and that caters specifically for that market.

As a parent of 2 young kids I hate having to squeeze into small places that are inappropriate such as Blue Mountain, (formerly) Lucas and Duck Egg because you know that its not really geared up for hordes of children and you have to shuffle around apologising for your buggies being in the way etc. I welcome a big space that has been well thought out and meets the needs of the huge population of young kids in East Dulwich and would imagine that if it is a success it will free up all the other cafes for people who don't have kids to sit peacefully or work etc. All in all it has to be a good thing, particularly because the old cafe was rarely busy and didnt work. As someone said before, its great that it is being used!

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

      You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect

      I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Rockets · Posted

      To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
