Apparently a lot of babies are born at night- mine all were, so parking turned out to be ok- the earliest was 9pm, and the car park was almost empty. It's also cheaper at night, not sure from what time, but I'm sure it was some kind of one off fee for the night rather than per hour. But you'd have to check!
We used Addison Lee. Arrived really quickly, lovely driver who went slow over the speed bumps and dropped us off right at the steps of the Golden Jubilee wing. Highly recommended. Parking at King's is a nightmare and once you reach the labour ward you may find the last thing you want to be worrying about is when to go and move the car.
By the time I went to Kings, I was in such mooing-like-cow agony, that I would have been soooo embarrassed to have had to make that journey in a taxi. I was embarrassed enough to be having contractions from the carpark to the labour ward, let alone in someone else's car!!! My advice: if you're going to taxi it, do it before the going gets tough!

You can park on McNeil road just off camberwell grove. There's a little walkway just opposite which leads you directly to denmark hill train station. It'll only take 5 min to do the walk


We're planning on driving there first time with Dad-to-be then moving the car to McNeil Road AFTER i've been accepted by the hospital


There's a baby boom right now and the staff are turning people away if you're not properly 'in labour' (i think no earlier than 5cm dilated now)

The taxi fares and/or parking costs can really add up if you keep being turned away...

    • Bumpkin I’d say feed and clean.    The RSPB say garden birds are low risk for avian flu but take precautions and clean feeders and birdbaths regularly.    Birds will be starting to nest soon and food you put out can at least feed the parents so they can feed live food to the young who can’t take seed yet.    It’s reccomended to wear gloves and clean feeders/birdbaths with mild disinfectant weekly. 
    • We had a take-away from Aroma Lab last night. I was impressed, utterly delicious stir fried tofu and sweet and sour chicken. Generous portions too… will definitely make a habit of eating their home-cooked food. 
    • I think that's a big assumption.  Many people vote for the candidate precisely because they are a member of a particular party and represent that party's policiies.  I personally didn't know who McAsh was in the last election, but I knew what party he represented.  When politicians don't act "morally" what are we to think of them and their motivations? But I think there will be people who want to vote Labour, don't know that McAsh has defected and accidentally vote Green precisely because they do vote for the name.  Yes, you could say they need to read the ballot paper more carefully but it's possible to see one thing and not notice another.
