Any ideas? My little man will 3 on the first Sunday of December. He keeps asking when he can have his own birthday party so of course, he can have one in December! I rang the Herne and figured out with everything it would be ?300ish - not good within the month of Christmas!


Thinking around 10 kids...

My son is only 2, but I've heard that a good rule of thumb for very small people's birthday parties is to limit guests to your child's age. So that would be your son plus 3 guests. Has anyone got any experience on this? I just thought it would also keep costs down.

Luckily he's not started nursery yet so we might be able to keep numbers down this year! He's mad on Softplay so I could look into that..

I was hoping to combine it with lots of adult friends too as a pre Christmas get together though he will probably never forgive me for that!

We had a party at Gambado in Beckenham, which was a great venue and surprisingly well organised - party host collects presents and keeps them for you, keeps a list of guests so everyone gets in quickly even if they arrive a bit early/late, and a reserved area of seating for parents while the kids are playing. I had a look at their website and it is currently ?8.50 per child for under 4s parties, including food.

WE have always had lots of adults at P Pulse.. the room is OK.. not a pug obviously though.


Darrell Rd community ctre is quite a good price, could hire that and do some food/games?

yes darrell road has east dulwich community centre which has reasonable rates. google them for website. 2 halls so can have one for kids (lots of room to run around) and other smaller hall for adults. also has small kitchen. playground out back if weather is okay.


on another recent thread someone talks about there also being a scout hut nearby for hire.

    • 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.

    • 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?
