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.

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

      Local Dietician ?

      By Sue · Posted

      Admin, please move this if it's in the wrong section. Can anybody recommend a reasonably local dietician (or possibly nutritionist? Not sure what the difference is). My GP has suggested I see a dietician, but there isn't one attached to the practice. I have googled, but it's very hard to tell what people may be like from an online description, and I want somebody who is properly qualified. Alternatively, please PM me if you know of people I should avoid! Thanks x

      Application for Londis Off-Licence next to Charter East Entrance

      By ianr · Posted

      If you look at the application linked to in the OP, you'll see it's a Licensing Act 2003 one, in this case for the purposes of sale by retail of alcohol and for the provision of late night refreshment: "TAKEAWAY COFFEE/ HOT SNACKS 2300-0100". IF the shop counts as a Hot Food Takeaway, then section P48 of the Southwark Plan https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Southwark Plan 2022 reduced 1.pdf , which appears to be the latest one linked to on Southwark's site, will I presume be applied in any  planning application (Is there one?). It says: "New hot food takeaways will only be permitted where: ..... 3. The proposed location is further than 400 metres from any existing or proposed primary or secondary school’s boundary; ....." It incorporates  policy laid down in the National Planning Policy Framework, and thence the London Plan.  Over the years KFC, and others, have taken a  number of appeals against local planning authority decisions on Takeaways to the Planning Inspectorate.  Some have been allowed.  KFCs 'commentary on evidence contained in London Plan Topic Paper: Hot Food Takeaways', https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/nlp_ad_91.pdf may be of interest to some. I'm guessing it's referring to https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/london_plan_topic_paper_on_hot_food_takeaways.pdf of 2018, but haven't yet checked.
