City advice
What to pack
Useful packing items for our home
We have wooden floors so bring your slippers to avoid chilly feet! We also live near large woodland spaces that are excellent to wander in, so walking boots/wellies are recommended in wet season and trainers in summer as little stones can get into your sandals.
Travelling with kids
Best stations for prams
Nunhead station has a large flight of stairs which can be difficult to navigate with a pram but possible. Peckham Rye also has stairs but are due to install a lift soon. Brockley is accessible with lifts and flat entrance.
