Any suggestions much appreciated. My partner's now working most of the Christmas / NY period and there's only so many times I can go to dulwich/peckham rye park. Read about the southbank on another thread, but anything more local would be great.

Don't know old your toddler is but on Xmas eve we are taking ours to bowling, probably at Elephant and Castle.


It's cheap, indoors (so warm and dry), they have the miniature bowling shoes which mini-D_C loves and the ramp things to push the ball down. A game for a family of four can easily last over an hour and is good fun.


There are also two great places for a cheap lunch afterwards - Mamushka (Polish food in the shopping centre) and Dragon Castle (for child-friendly dim-sum).

The Albany Theatre has a brilliant production of We're going on a Bear Hunt.

Not as expensive as many theatre shows but superb quality.

We're also going to treat ourselves to lunch on the Big Red Bus on Deptford high Street afterwards ... Pizza, pasta and other options.

Would second 'we're going on a bear hunt'- really good production and perfect toddler length. My very boisterous 2 year old sat still for the whole thing. They have a few tickets left- my sister managed to get an extra , one of the last 10 for yesterday's production. But probably worth ringing first.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
