Recommended Posts

Due to the international interest in ED, It is now time to produce a guide to ED, so allow the expected throngs of international jet setters an easy assimilation & allow them to use their precious time to the best effect - a begiuling combination of A-Z, Time Out & local Dictionary


no particular order


North Cross Road Market ( The )


A line of council maintained stalls & spaces situated in the Vibrant, Buzzy,exciting North Cross road area of SE22.Vendors sell a wide range of goods, mostly useless, all being insanely overpriced. ED Residents do not actually shop or buy anything at the market, as there is a plethora of retail outlets within walking distance. The market is used mosly by residents to show their prospective In Laws that the area is not a scruffy suburb and they have taste abd culture, befiting a future son in law.The Usual route for exploring the NCR market is via a Lordship Lane gastropub for an offal based lunch, thence a leisurely stroll in the direction of CrystalPalace road.Accepted Protocol means that the ED resident must always constantly remind their out of town visitors/ Prospective in laws, that ED has a village atmosphere and a wide selction of esoteric goods on offer , to suit the dymanic nature of this up and coming Area. Repeat ad nausem for any subsequent tranches of visitors.ED Residents with children should include remarks on the fantastic primary state schooling, but avoid any discussion of potential Secondary schooling Options.

East Dulwich is easily reached from International Airport London Gatwick.


First Capital Trains to London Bridge then Number 40 Bus to the Heart of East Dulwich.


Gatwick Express to Victoria then Number 185 Bus to the Heart of East Dulwich.


Be amazed at the opportunities to waste your money.


Local pubs, no need for cash. Card will do nicely. (minimum charge may apply)


Visit the new Waitrose. Opening in ED shortly.


Just a stroll from North Cross Road Market. You will see the Quaint Terraced houses

the locals live in (Guided Tour avaiable) Ask at the ED Tourist shop. Opening in ED shortly.

Broad-bosomed, bold, becalmed, benign lies East Dulwich 4 square on the London Bridge line. We enter East Dulwich through the verdant grasslands of Dulwich Park or Peckhan Rye, a rose red garden half as gold as green, matched by no marvels seen in eastern cheam. Lo stands a church clock at ten to three and is there honey still for tea. East Dulwich, gateway to the south? (Inspired by words from D. Norden and F. Muir). - 'oneys off dear. -




'Balham Gateway to the South' Peter Sellers 1958. (Not much different to ED?)

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
