You should have a look at the Southwark Let's Go Guide here: http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200246/activities_and_things_to_do/768/activities_for_under_fives


It gives the details of all the classes offered in local Childrens Centres, including any associated costs (a lot are free and some provide financial support to those on lower incomes)

Hiya,


I don't know if this counts as inexpensive but my baby massage lessons cost ?55 for five 1 1/2 hour sessions - an hour of massage/theory/discussion then half an hour of tea and biscuits afterwards. They're perfect for two month old babies so please take a look at my website if this appeals - I still have a couple of spaces available on my course starting on 3rd December. The venue is East Dulwich Community Centre on Darrell Road.


Good luck with whatever you choose,


Louie

Hi there,


If you like singing there is a fantastic group on Friday afternoons in ED called Hummy Mummies. You don't have to have any singing experience, and it's great fun. You get to sing lots of fun grown-up songs which is a nice change from the 50th rendition of Wind the Bobbin Up! And the kids love it too. This is the website if you want more info: www.hummymummies.com. The cost is ?65 for a full term or ?35 for half a term.


All the best.

I found the crooked well on Tuesday mornings great, as it is more of a chance to meet other mums whilst having a coffee and a pastry, as well as having toys for the babies. I also loved the Ivydale centres baby group on Wednesday afternoon. The Ivydale is a bit harder to get to but either the p 12 or 13 goes there. Crooked well is easy.
Also search on this forum for the summer baby group 2014 you might be able to join a meet up. There are lots of great 1 'o'clock clubs which are free, also look out for brixton ritzy fri mornings that does baby scream, normal movies for mums with tots under 1.
Even cheaper than the ritzy is the Peckham pulse under 1s cinema which is about ?4. You can get chatting to other mums or just have a nice solo w at h of the film. I used to put my daughter in her sling and she'd usually have a reallly good sleep through something horrifically inappropriate. And do a big poo. Always the big poo.

    • Andy is an absolute star. Have used him for years and he’s become a hugely trusted and valued friend as well as handyman. Always willing to go the extra mile and doesn’t cut corners, but great on pricing. Can’t recommend enough.
    • Surely you are still covered under these circumstances even if you don't have the physical licence? I can't believe you would be prevented from driving? That would be a ridiculous system. I don't recall any delays   when mine was renewed. Why would their medical department be involved if you have no medical issues? Could someone have made some admin mistake somewhere along the line?
    • Does anyone have the same problem.  I am 79 and have sent my licence renewal form to the DVLA on the 21st October 20 which they have received. I have just received a letter from them them dated 22 December 2025 today saying my licence is with their Drivers Medal Department and will be processed as soon as possible. This follows my telephone call to them after three weeks  from the October date as I had not received my licence back as per their time frame. I also followed this up mid December after finally getting through but did not get any confirmation as to what the situation was. Is this normal practice? On the 7 January 2026 I will be unable to drive as my licence has not been sent back. I have no medical issues and meet all the requirements with no problem as per previous renewals in fact nothing has changed health wise.Their the letter states if they need any more details from me, they will contact me directly. Why has it taken 2 and a half months get get this far? Is this some sort of ploy to get older drivers to finally give up their driving by making life difficult as possible.  Has anyone else experienced this. Read Medical not Medal.
    • You're being a little disingenuous here. It is simply not true that "the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum" because: -> the area the development is in isn't 2/3 storeys maximum today - as evidenced by the school on the lot adjoining the development to the south, as well as the similarly-sized buildings to the north and east.  -> the SPG doesn't preclude this type of development anyway. This "genie in a bottle" stuff is desperate barrel-scraping. Now you're raising the spectre of a 9 storey building on the Gibbs & Dandy site (the chance would be a fine thing) but also arguing Southwark is too slow to approve things and opposed to development more than 2-3 storeys!
