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!

    • 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.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
