Our eldest did LAMDA at primary school. She really enjoyed it and now has a couple of exams under he belt where she did very well. She's at secondary now, where they don't offer LAMDA any more and, according to her at least, the drama classes aren't all that good. Can anyone recommend a place for her to carry on with LAMDA courses privately?


We like LAMDA as it has recognised certifications that should help her if she decides to take her acting studies on further at a later stage. But if anyone has an alternative to offer that can give similar benefits I would be interested to hear about those too.

Barbara is an extraordinary drama and speech coach.

She taught me as a child and I have never ever forgotten her.

As you'll see from her website she has gone on to rather dizzy heights but she lives in East Dulwich and may still take students.


Just to add that if your daughter is interested in pursuing drama in the future then experience of participatory/ group work will be far more beneficial than qualifications. Choose carefully - avoid places that shout show business and performance. Theatre Peckham is worth considering....

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
