Dulwich Park used to open very early, on a Saturday at least, at its main entrance. But recently when heading there for my Saturday long run I've found the damn thing still shut at around 7am. Depends where you live, but you might want to head to the Rye if you're out early. Or Burgess Park which is open 24 hrs.
Officially they dont open till 8 .We have the same problem with Peckham Rye park but we can find a way in. I dont think thats so easy at Dulwich . I would opt for running around the Rye there are quite a few runners around at that time , thats if you can get to it easily enough.

There's literally acres of Peckham Rye that can't be locked as there's no fence around it, surely.


You could sleep there if you really wanted.

Are they not the same park, albeit with a short, jump-overable fence around the former?


Or are you scared of the north end or something?

I have seen many people with their dogs, climb over the fence , doggy under the arm of an early morning in Dulwich park! They always find a way to get in! I wonder what the wardens say when they seem them walking their dogs in the park after they have opened up?!That is the Dulwich Library end!

Spoke to wardens in the parkon Saturday and it can be as late as 9.30 depends how many on duty as they have to travel between them all so some have to be early while others get locked late,but its the gardening staff that open up.

It's fairly simple to get through via Fireman's Alley.

Are you on glue? the locked bit of Peckham Rye contains a Japanese garden and some shrubs.


The unlocked bit contains acres of grass, suitable for picnics and running.

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets!
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s
