I have failed to obtain a goose in Dulwich for Christmas and was thinking of going to Smithfields early tomorrow morning- the website says before 7am is best. Thought it would make a nice start to Christmas- has anyone been?- is parking a problem if we go there at 6am Lets not talk about the road conditions...........

There's a butchers at Smithfiled outside the market that's open at reasonable times of the day - got a massive ham from there the other day at lunchtime. Unhelpfully I can't give you the name of it, but it's next door to Smithfields Bar & Grill (and is currently selling a whole rolled sirloin for ?19.90
Parking should be fine ar Smithfields that time of morning, probably in a side street but will be warden free - I got up there in under 20 mins 2 weeks ago at 5am (dropping MIL at City Thameslink). Just drive staright over Blackfriars Bridge and then do a right after you go under Holborn Viaduct.

Borough Market tends to be over priced and rated IMO.


Never done Smithfields although have beeen past during teh day and a couple of butchers are open on the edges of the market. I believe they have a sale on Christmas Eve to clear stock.


For Covent Garden Flower Market it is a really large double "room" area, but much smaller than the fruit and vegatable market. Suggest getting there really really early, like by 7am, traders are beginning to finish up so the earlier the better. Have a wonder around, decide on what you want and then haggle the price the sellers ask for, otherwise you will pay over the odds. Both the flower market and fruit and veg markets are a great experience. From memory I think it was buildings C and D for the Fruit and Veg market.

well I was so full of good intentions but at 8.00am hubby got a goose at Rosendale road butchers- despite them telling me last week they would not have any. New years resolution to do smithfields and covent garden early morning. Thank you for all your sound advise.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
