Hi

we are a family of 3, live in ED and absolutely love it.

However we are considering moving in order to be able to buy a bigger place, in view of an expanded family.. ED property prices are just crazy!

Does anybody know how Crystal Palace is and how schools are?

Thanks for any comment/advice

Hello, I really like Crystal Palace. I don't live there but for years I've used the area on my running routes! It has a very nice feel. I think it would be a great place to live. The high street is lovely, great park, sports centre and transport on the overground is meant to be good.

Hi there. I moved to Sydenham Hill last November from East Dulwich. It wasn't an easy move, as like you, I loved East Dulwich. Then I discovered Crystal Palace! Its fab and will definitely move there when my contract ends! Its got a fantastic park with a dinosaur trail and city farm, fab antique shops, great cafes/bars/restaurants, which are all buzzing even during weeknights. Really nice chilled out vibe as you're walking around the area. Sometimes ED can be a bit hectic and stuck-up but Crystal Palace is a little gem.


Haven't looked into schools yet but heard there are a few great ones to choose from e.g. Eliot Bank and Kelvin Grove.


Good luck!

Eliot Bank and kelvin grove will be out of the catchment area as crystal palace comes under another borough.Sydenham HIll is just about still in the borough of lewisham.Virtual Norwood forum may get you more info on schools as crystal palace is on the border of 3 boroughs.

      Chicks and ducklings

      By malumbu · Posted

      Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
