Hi All

If you are making plans around the Christmas period, highlight the 19th December on your calenders. Santa's Christmas parade will be in Dulwich, 12pm onwards. Park Hall Road, West Dulwich will host Santa at 12pm, bring the Children along and Wish Santa a merry Christmas.

Then join Santa at 3pm for the parade, he will meet you at the corner of Townley Road and Lordship Lane, where mums, dads, grandma and grandad can join in the fun. We encourage the children come along in fancy dress, Princesses, Pirates and Angels are all welcome. Santa and his helpers Hannah and Marilyn will then parade down lordship lane towards Santa,s Grotto in Zenoria Street, where you can greet Santa

(The parade will also be escorted by the Local police for Safety reasons)Santa and his helpers are CRB checked

This post will be constantly updated throughout November up to the 18th December( Just in case Santa is late, Lapland is quite far)

Santa's parade and supporting events are sponsored by the Retailers of West and East Dulwich. Panino d'oro and Harvey Wheeler from the village. Wishing you all a peaceful Christmas/Holidays/Yule from us.





Hi All just an update for the parade, due to poor weather conditions in Essex where Doris the donkey lives, they now cannot make it. We were told Today at 1pm, so we have not been able to find a replacement for the donkey, however the parade will still go ahead with alternative mode of transport for Santa.

So to the Children, mummies, daddies Grandads and Grandmas, we hope to see you from 230pm onwards at the Townley Road/Lordship Lane Junction. We are going to have a warm up with dancing before the parade starts, so please wear comfy warm dancing shoes

Apologies about Doris but Unfortunately Mother Nature had other plans, if you have any questions, I am the one wearing the Snow White outfit and my dear friend Hannah will be dressed as an Angel.


Well another further update, we have found another Donkey called treacle, so events will still go ahead with Treacle the donkey.

is it yet another donkey from out of town? *fights hard to keep her opinions on the matter to herself*


LM it's hard to keep up to date at time as I'm sure you must understand...


hope that days' activities go successfully well for all those concerned (tu)

So how did it all go then? I saw santa and the donkey 'parading' up Calton ave at about 3pm, felt a bit sorry for him as the only people with him were two coppers. Was there much of a turn out in the end? I aint got kids myself but if I did I would have definitely come out to pay him a visit.

Yes, thanks for organising, and don't mean to be ungrateful but ... what happened to the road being closed off? And the carols and songsheets and nightlights in jars etc? We were up by Franklins and it was a bit 'blink and you'll miss it' when Santa came past. Maybe there was more going on at the other end.

Hi we were on the music truck at the end of the parade and I think Santa got his stride on and went zooming down the lane. It went really well. Thanks Dulwichmum glad you enjoyed it.The positive response from all was amazing and I am so glad to see so many turn out for the parade. We went for celebratory drinks after with my family and Friends, so good day all round

And Treacle the donkey was a delight and I must confess I had a bit of a crush on Dean, Treacle's escort, very very lovely man.:)-D

Well, I am... disapppointed...I was the 4' 5" hobbit of course (didn't need to dress up though - more wrap up)...but there and again...I can understand why you didn't see me...amongst all the other formidable characters...xx

      Selling my flat with No-Files

      By No-flies · Posted

      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.

      Moved Back, Mates Moved Out – Fancy a Pint?

      By G22 · Posted

      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! 👋

      It's Inner London. You could move somewhere else?
