Thought I'd pass on this info as a while back we were all lamenting the lack of places to go and have a drink/lunch/coffee w hilst letting our kids have a play. Was in the Florence in Herne Hill yesterday (sister pub of the Bishop) and loads of work was going on at the back, in the conservatory. The manager explained that they are creating a big playroom for babies/kids, with soft play and a screen for cbeebies etc, meanwhile there'll be an adjacent bit for mums to enjoy a drink and keep an eye on babies. I quite often walk over there to meet friends so am thrilled and both pubs do a 'mums the word' card which entitles you to various discounts, which change each month. I think he's going to email me about suggestions for what they might include in the room so if anyone has any ideas, I can post the details here for who to send it to.


Note - I don't have any connection to these pubs! Just really pleased to hear about somewhere suitable for crawlers and up...

Hi Belle,

The email should be winging its way to you today, but to save you the trouble, I thought that I would post it here also.


This month sees work begin on the long awaited Children?s Play Room at The Florence.


This room has been designed and built to provide a secure environment for your children to play in, while you can chat with friends, or even keep an eye on them from the garden with a glass of wine through the glass windows.


We have a few ideas of what we think would be good to put in the room, but you are the experts, so we need your help.


Does anyone have any ideas of things they would like to have in the room? Are there any groups who might like to book to use the room on a regular basis? Would you be interested in holding kids parties in there?


All comments and suggestions are welcomed, in helping us to make the most of the great space which we are building.


The work should take about 8 weeks to complete, but we will keep you posted as to when the grand opening will be.


Anyone can get hold of a "mums the word" card by popping into the Bishop or the Florence with a child in tow (preferably your own). If you have any suggestions for the kids play room, or for more details, please email [email protected]


Look forward to seeing you all. Notifications about the status of the build, and its grand opening will be emailed to all members and posted on this site.

I am going to post to this old thread and watch to see if it's lounged or deleted as posts I made earlier today seem to have been!


Had a very very salty meal at the Florence today, and oru complaint was met with indifference. I would't recommend the food there for children at all, if it's typical. Ours wouldn't eat it, yet we still got charged ?4 per meal, in one case it had only started as a mushroom and a bit of toast in the first place!

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
