Is East Dulwich a good place to live?

Recommended Posts

I'm an ex North West Londoner and have been living in Brighton for the last 4 years. Due to work me and my boyfriend are moving back to London and have been offered a flat share in East Dulwich. I was just wondering if it's a nice place to live or not. If anyone could be kind enough to fill me in that would be fantastic.

Looking at this forum and the amount of whinging we do about the area, you might have your doubts. But we all keep living here, so there must be something in it! It largely depends how you quantify good, but the threads in one section or another should cover your specific criteria.

Yes. It's got a nice vibe about it. It's pleasant, people do say hello to you on the street especially if you say hello first. There are snobs and loads of NIMBYs and reactionaries, but there's good people too. And it's up to you to ask not what ED can do for you but what you can do for ED - Ooooohh yes.

Well it's cold out anyways....


We've moved about London a bit, NW, East, Central and SW before ending up in East Dulwich and we love it, for us it's a good mix of being close in to central London but still having a nice suburban feel with nice green spaces, local shops and friendly people.

There is a large baby population about tho, not that that worries us, Mrs Kiwi wants one of her own soonish so I guess that?s another plus for us.

Sorry but its got to be ED. The village and WD are, I'm afraid, rather dull.

In no way (well a little bit..) is this a

type questioner/ personality test however.....



Here's "The Lucky Seven "



1. Your first thought on the word "Bugaboo"


2. On a bus when seated, how many of those seats would you ..."cover" roughly ?


3. Please tick one choice below


a. Waitrose ⎕


b. Iceland ⎕


4. How long would you be prepared to wait for a chop/sausage in the rain on a Saturday ( to the nearest hour is fine )


5. Honey


"Gales" or "Manuka"


6. Finish the following phrase.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
