I always miss the one o'clock club at Peckham Rye as my son sleeps between 1 and 3pm when it's on but noticed the one at Crystal Palace does morning sessions. I noticed you have to pay and just wondered if it's worth the drive? Is the indoor area good if it's raining and also is it open over the next few weeks over the summer hols? Thanks, couldn't find that much info about it on the net.

It's brilliant. Easy parking in carpark next door, lovely facilities inc tea/coffee.. quite a big room with art activities, playhouse, baby corner. Very friendly staff. The outside is big, partly shady, nice equipment .. whole place has a very peaceful air to it.


Well worth the money.


Open over the hols but there will be u-8s there so bit noiser than usual I suspect!

Is this suitable for an older child? My son is 3.5 and we did pop by it on Tuesday morning but decided not to go in as it didn't seem that suitable for a boisterous boy of that age. Any ideas as I am keen to find somewhere on Tuesdays where he can burn off energy while I do something more sedate with my 10 month old.


Thanks

I take my 4 1/2 year old and 14 month old boys and both really enjoy. Probably not great to go when it's raining because it gets busy inside, but my 4 year old loves the outside bit, lots of space to run around, vehicles to drive etc, and he enjoys making things when they have the lego/sticklebricks out, or playdough. My younger one loves the freedom, he can roam around inside and out without me chasing after him, and it's one of the few places i actually get to sit down and drink a coffee, without having to get up and chase one of them. The mums there are really nice. Also has a nice baby corner for babies who aren't on the move yet.

    • And from what I remember, she eventually cut the tea shop for a similar  reason to chandelier.  Chariot style buggies
    • Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly. At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened. Wasn't Grace and Favour's food offering more of a tea shop at the back of the actual shop? If memory serves the owner, whose name escapes me now, was one of the earliest people I know to move to Hastings. Which must now be crammed with South East Londoners 🤣
    • That Neal Street veggie cafe was great. Food For Thought ❤️
    • Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, You won't be aware that i proposed infill sites for housing in East Dulwich - the garages on Bassano Street and Henslowe that respectively became 1-4 Dill Terrace family houses and the 78, 80, 80A Henslowe Street family houses. These were council owned garages and it was frustrating how slow the council was to go from my idea to completion (roughly eight years). East Dulwich has some other vacant WW2 bomb sites I'm guessing that the private land owners have been sitting on.Owe for a land tax for vacant land.  WRT to the builders yard by East dulwich station. Southwark Council has an agreed policy the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum. But the approved scheme is 9 storeys of student accommodation. Very hard to put this genie back in the bottle. The council has recently publicly stated lower ratios of social housing will be required. I will be amazed if the developer doesn't submit another application now they have the 9 storeys approved but with significantly less social housing. The less social housing the higher the land values. The higher the land values the less social housing viability reports state are possible.  If we really want to increase home supply - Southwark have over 6,000 empty homes. Vancouver charges a low % of the value of empty homes and rapidly eased this problem. Parts of Wales have introduced under Article 4 planning permission is required for second homes seeing within 12 months a dramatic decrease in property prices. Southwark Council have Article 4 requirements - why not add this one? It takes National political will to solve this AND regional and local authorities such as the second home council tax premium and these being used promptly.
