Janibarr Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Hiya We've just arrived from north wales for a break away. We are here for new year and weren't going to watch the fireworks but now fancy it as our two year old loves them. When near (ish) SE23 9AQ would have a good view? Plan is to wake son up and drive somewhere and ideal watch from car but can walk/carry our son. We just thought car would be less disturbance for him.Someone has advised one tree hill but I've no idea where that is?? Any advise welcome Thanks Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/88250-where-to-watch-fireworks-with-a-2-year-old/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluerevolution Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 It's just south of Peckham Rye Park, one (if not THE highest point in SE London) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Tree_Hill,_Honor_Oak Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/88250-where-to-watch-fireworks-with-a-2-year-old/#findComment-942771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnie Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Walk up forest hill road. Turn left into Honour Oak rise, walk to the end then follow the steps to the end.

sheilarose Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Telegraph Hill Park. Google it for exact whereabouts. One Tree Hill is very muddy at the moment.

Bluerevolution Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 How about Peckham Rye park? I live just off it and watch from either our road or back garden Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/88250-where-to-watch-fireworks-with-a-2-year-old/#findComment-942961 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giacomelli Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Dawson's heights... You can see everything. Quite a few people who live on surrounding streets go there so even a tiny bit of atmosphere too... My 2 year old has a horrid tantrum if I wake him up so I won't be going up there this eve despite living across from the hill Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/88250-where-to-watch-fireworks-with-a-2-year-old/#findComment-943030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin68 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 With all this rain the Dawson Heights slope is likely to be treacherous. Wear shoes with studs or cleats if you go.

Janibarr Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 We ended up at Dawson's hill/heights! We took our lb in the pushchair! The path up was Tarmac apart from the last tiny bit but we coped grand and the views over London were amazing and Jacob loved the fireworks... His face was a picture when they first went off. It was a lovely atmosphere up there. We all did a countdown and old langs syne! Really pleased we made the effort to see them! Thanks again for everyone's help X and happy 2016 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/88250-where-to-watch-fireworks-with-a-2-year-old/#findComment-943492 Share on other sites More sharing options...
