Hello All,


Planning a friends get together in Dulwich Park, and really want to ensure we have a great day which abides by all the rules. Looked on the Southwark website and didn't see a definitive list of the dos and don'ts for this park... can anyone help me out? Are there any rules/regulations?


For example - can we have a bbq? what about music? tables and chairs?


Many Thanks

OD

The original question was polite and considerate. Shame that uncleglen couldn't extend the same courtesy in his response.

I've been quick to call UG out on things in the past, but on this occasion he's done absolutely nothing wrong. He's pointed out where the rules could be found, and he's given an example. If you must play music, it shouldn't be at a volume that bothers other park users.

I think it was the word 'inflict' which may not have gone down well though I would have to agree that that's what someone would be doing playing music in the park.

I've just realised what Dulwich Park is missing, and what it could really do with - a band stand!

Going off at a tangent...The mention of barbecues has jogged a memory of the charcoaled patch left behind on the Rye last week. I saw a party of people with a tray barbecue on the bowling green at Brockwell Park several years back. Seriously, what kind of people think it's OK to do that?

Out of interest .... is it the same if instead of music it was someone/group of people talking really loudly or singing?

In Australia a BBQ in the park is a very common pastime and our parks and beaches provide gas or charcoal BBQs. Shame there is not anything similar here (although in comparison, the parks are tiny and so understandable that you may not want to have BBQs).

I think there is some talk of a bandstand in Dulwich Park. Sure I read something somewhere, anyone know?

Loads of BBQs in Crystal Palace Park. But if I was taking a desposable BBQ (which I see no harm in so long as they are watched and not left lying around hot for some kid to touch) you really need to be taking a couple of bricks or rocks or anything to keep the surface off the grass or we will end up with burnt patches all over the place.

      Selling my flat with No-Files

      By No-flies · Posted

      Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

      Moved Back, Mates Moved Out – Fancy a Pint?

      A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋

      It's Inner London. You could move somewhere else?
