I just spent ages online looking for a santa grotto to visit in London this year. Im totally in it for the photo, but I really dont want to spend an arm and a leg on it. We dont need a 4D experience (westfield) or a elf brunch (the rainforest cafe)or a free one with a mile long queue (winter wonderland).


I looking for a good old meet santa, get a toy, get a photo of my scared kids with santa so we can laugh at it when they are older.


We did the horniman one year before last and it was only ok, a bit rushed, all over in a few minutes.


Any suggestions ?

I have since found this.

Santa Grotto in the Museum of London's Victorian walk.

Tickets between ?7-9 per child (includes gift). Photographs available at an additional cost.

5, 6 & 12-23 December


Anyone been ?

The fair at Dulwich college normally has a lovely Santa if you go early there is only a very short wait, low cost and includes a gift. Students are dressed as elves and entertain the kids while you wait. Friends of Dulwich College Christmas Fair, on Sunday 29th November 2015 from 10.30am-4pm.

Apparently most of the ruxley manor slots had gone by September! Ditto places such as Harrods. We are going to one in Norfolk whilst visiting friends over December and that had limited slots left- in early October.

Big business apparently this year these grottos..

We took my daughter to Whippersnappers last years and I have to say we were really disappointed. We found it quite disorganised and a bit shabby.


Last week we went the Harrods' Grotto and we loved it. It had that "magical" touch and only cost ?10.

    • 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! 👋
