Is it Me? or is East Dulwich boring now?


Recommended Posts

I have lived in East Dulwich/Peckham Rye borders now for over 18 months, I really liked Lordship Lane and East Dulwich for about a year but over the past six months its just become boring and bland. I just wanted to know if others have felt this, Camberwell seems to be more edgy and arty these days.

Nothing wrong with East Dulwich. It's what you put in to get out of it. (err... make of that what you will). Camberwell has always been a bit more edgy and the arty bit comes from the students at Camberwell Art College. If you prefer it there you could always move.

So what's actually changed about ED in the last 18 months?


Or is it you've just got bored now you know the place?


Personally I think what matters is who you hang out with, not where you hang out. I had some great times living in Swindon.... and if you can enjoy yourself there, you can probably enjoy yourself anywhere!!

Ive only been in ED for a little while and I absolutely love it and I can feel it in my bones that in 18 months I will absolutely love it!


As for Camberwell - dude you take your life in to your own hands just dont point all the crazy peeps in the direction of ED when you move there ;-)

I can see where matt is coming from, ED is rather boring and bland - but obviously many of the forumites will take an opinion of an area personally.


Sigh.


It's pleasant here though, but I will probably have a change within the next 12 months and rent my house out, which is off 'trendy' (note the saracasm) Northcross Rd.

You want edgy?


You could always try Deptford. Moss Side. Or some of the lovely Glasgow housing estates.


I lived in 'edgy' for a number of years, but I do prefer having a night's sleep to being woken by yet another all-night blues club in the house next door, with machete-wielding macho idiots occupying the pavement space outside. There are only so many 999 calls to fire and ambulance one should be expected to make in a lifetime.

LL would definitely benefit from some kind of cultural hotspot, an art centre or something of its ilk. Some where that you could take a leisurely stroll to that was showing some poncey euro-arthouse-flimflammery-cinematic experience. I'm all for it. ;-)

Worth an application for Lottery funding?

If someone has been hear years and years and made the OP's comment then, maybe, maybe not


But to say you moved here 18 months ago and now your are bored - says more about you than it does about the area. That's not meant to sound like a dig btw - just suspect you may be young and in the mood for somethings else. ED itself hasn't changed much in the last 18 months (apart from superficialities such as Foxton's etc etc - but as that replaced a council offices I doubt you are missing out too much on the excitement front there)

    • 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.
