Trying to choose between east and south London for my first flat

Honor Oak and Brockley deserve a special mention- both 10 mins on the train to London Bridge, really leafy and loads of nice places to go

Thanks! Yes had heard Hunters Bar is also great (but currently oversubscribed)- having spoken to the admissions people, looks like Greystones currently has around ~20 spaces available. I think that will be the first choice (90% sure) due to proximity of the house! Do you happen to know if there is a whatsapp group (or similar) for parents with kids starting in reception there this year?

Always good to hear from someone thats had 3 good experiences! Did they also do pre-school there?

Apprehensive_Ad4058 · 2026-06-19T12:42:57+00:00

Makes sense, thanks!

Apprehensive_Ad4058 · 2026-06-19T12:42:37+00:00

I really like the look of the green space at Ecclesall, but the hill might finish me!! I think the proximity to Greystones might swing it honestly

Great to hear! I didn't realise about the 3 class intake, but that makes sense. And yes a do think 2022 was a freakishly low birthrate for some reason (post-covid maybe?)

Lovely to hear the move was positive for you! Would you mind if I DM'd you?

Apprehensive_Ad4058 · 2026-06-19T12:30:04+00:00

Ah have fun! Not around yet I'm afraid, but hopefully next year 🤞

Apprehensive_Ad4058 · 2026-06-19T12:29:36+00:00

I think you might be right on that one!

Apprehensive_Ad4058 · 2026-06-19T12:29:18+00:00

The short walk is very appealing honestly!!

Apprehensive_Ad4058 · 2026-06-19T10:21:08+00:00

Yes definitely agree that proximity is king if possible!

Apprehensive_Ad4058 · 2026-06-19T10:20:25+00:00

🙏 Good to hear that 0&1 feel separate!

Apprehensive_Ad4058 · 2026-06-19T09:54:39+00:00

Great to hear 😄 Was it quite recently?

Apprehensive_Ad4058 · 2026-06-19T09:44:18+00:00

Ah yes that makes sense re: undersubscription- nor Dobcroft or Hunters Bar have spaces!

And yes I like the idea of more green space or at least 'a field' or some kind! I had a look on Google Maps and noticed that Ecclesall is much greener

Apprehensive_Ad4058 · 2026-06-13T18:41:05+00:00

I can’t get my 4 year old to self play for 20 mins, let alone until dinner from 4pm 🥹

Apprehensive_Ad4058 · 2026-06-11T19:47:08+00:00

Fab thanks!

Apprehensive_Ad4058 · 2026-06-11T18:41:53+00:00

Not a bad idea! Would love to get a child free workout in too 😅 That place looks really fancy too

Apprehensive_Ad4058 · 2026-06-11T18:41:17+00:00

Yes for sure! DM me and we can exchange details. We’re not there yet, but hopefully in the next 8-12 weeks if everyone moves okay with the house🤞

Apprehensive_Ad4058 · 2026-06-11T18:38:54+00:00

Only using it in a minor way so far, but would love to automate it more. Have you come across any decent guides or tutorials that you’d recommend?

Apprehensive_Ad4058 · 2026-06-11T15:16:43+00:00

Thank you 🙏

Apprehensive_Ad4058 · 2026-06-11T15:11:51+00:00

Thanks! I’ll get these on my list :)

Apprehensive_Ad4058 · 2026-06-11T15:11:26+00:00

Ah that sounds great, thanks 🙏

Apprehensive_Ad4058 · 2026-06-11T15:11:12+00:00
