We are getting married on New Years Eve and are trying to work out transport options and wondered if any of you had clever ideas!


We need a car to get 4 people from Dulwich to a Central London venue approx 4pm departure.

We then need to get 3 grandparents back to Sydenham at approx 11pm.

Then parents back to Dulwich at 1am.


They are worried that taxis will be a nightmare to hail and very expensive if not booked in advance.


Anyone out there got any clever ideas at all? Not after anything fancy!

Or have any good ideas as to where else I could ask?


Many thanks.

I would just book taxis in advance... Some years Addison Lee keep their prices the same as usual over the holiday period to beat off the competition. I used them 2 years ago on boxing day and new years eve to ferry myself and family members around.


Have a lovely wedding!

Hi mason and green are very helpful and really nice cars. Just going to say though that depending on where the venue is in central London they may have to take a large detour to come back for 11pm as they close all the bridges near central London at 8.15 pm for the fireworks on nye. Been caught out by this ourselves and paid a fortune in a black cab as they had to go round all of the closures to better to have a pre booked and quoted price taxi.

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
