You'd be hard pushed to find an inch of ED that isn't full of children. We live near Oakhurst Grove and it's lovely. The important question is access to schools (which I will leave to comments from those with younger children, we got in to our school when there was less pressure). 'Safe', it's London, depends on what you mean by this but we feel safe, had a burglary 6 years ago but we love it here.

movingeast has already posted that she will only consider moving to Dulwich or ED if she can find a good private school for her daughter to go to, so catchment to any of our excellent local primary schools isn't a factor for them.


Am also interested about why having Upland Road nearby would make somewhere a 'great location'? No offense Upland roaders, your road is lovely, but the same level of lovely as any other road in ED. What's the draw there for movingeast? Is there some special thing happening on Upland that I'm missing out on?


Oakhurst Grove is a lovely area, but you'd be hard pushed to find an area in ED that isn't frankly.

I live on Oakhurst with a 16m old and I like it. Its close to the park at goose green which has a lovely little playground, a short stroll to the markets on northcross or Lordship Lane, close to the gowlett which does excellent pizza (best in ED in my opinion), close to the big peckham rye park, centrally located between peck rye and ED train stations so great for transport, 37 and 484 bus at the bottom of the street on ED road. It also has bollards which makes it less thoroughfare than it could have been. Also the Gardens surgery is just around the corner which in my view are a fantastic GP practice.


I've been broken in to twice on Oakhurst in 4 years but I think that applies to a lot of people on various streets, it is not Oakhurst specific.

Its a good central location, but I think that road is about 80% flats. A number of which are counsel flats. Lived around the corner for 5 years and used to walk the road every day. There was a lovely drug dealer on it for a while....

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      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.
