Violent mugging ( close by in Peckham) on 9th May


Recommended Posts

Just found out that a friend's colleague was badly mugged last night in central East Dulwich by a guy in a hoody - he only took the ?20 she had on her, but punched her in the face. She has a black eye, severely swollen face and has lost a tooth. Absolutely horrific. Waiting on confirmation of the time and exact location - shes a bit too shaken up still so don't want to probe further.


I know we all say it, but day or night, you just need to be so aware when walking around alone.

Just spoken to my friend and apparently, although it does not make it any better for the poor lady, the attack was actually more Peckham than East Dulwich - on Nigel Road. Basically not too far from the Victoria Inn & the Rye pub .... she was buying a pizza from the shop at 10:30pm and it happened just outside the shop. By the sounds of it, it could have turned out far worse - he was punching her in the face while she was on lying the ground and luckily gave up when someone approached.


Sorry for the spook and lets hope the police get him...

I know Nigel Rd, it's all pretty much residential and so pretty quiet at night. Thank god someone came by. So sorry to hear about this.


Have you told The Lane Safer Neighbourhood Team? There might be a pattern. You can email them on [email protected]


They'll bring it up at neighbourhood meetings etc

There are no shops on Nigel road, only God Bless Hair salon! The shop I think you are talking about is next to the bus stop on rye lane (nigel road is more around the corner). Anyway, not to argue about location, but to say it sounds very violent, sorry to hear about it, hope the lady gets better soon.

Nope - someone said (and I quote) "the attack was actually more Peckham than East Dulwich - on Nigel Road." which I thought, in context, was pretty self absorbed and showed an inappropriate sense of relief about it being over there in SE15, not over here in SE22.

Horsebox, Manda et al - thank you all very much for your posts and PMS. We will certainly be trying to support her as much as we possibly can.


Nom de plume - I am frankly surprised you don't have better things to do with your time than pick apart posts trying to help ensure safety of our local community - be they in Dulwich or Peckham.

Ok just to be clear - a mugging is a horrible thing to happen to someone and I hope your colleague is not badly hurt, has a swift and complete recovery, and is able to put it behind them.


That said, your apology to the EDF for spooking them by saying it was in Central East Dulwich when it really was in Peckham annoyed me for precisely the reason that it is a nasty event wherever it takes place, whereas you suggested it was somehow less bad if it wasn't "Central East Dulwich". To poke at that is fair comment.

how does posting vague/inaccurate third hand details on here help ensure the safety of the local community?

I merely posted (and then corrected) to make local people aware that there was a very unpleasant event which might have taken place near where they, and likely their families and friends live, so to be vigilant. No underlying tone, no intended inaccuracies, no postcode-snobbery, just purely in line with how other East Dulwich residents post such things in the "General Issues" section of this site. Everyone is clearly entitled to their own opinion however I am now signing out of this dialogue.

cdaywilson I'm very sorry to hear about your friend, I hope they recover & that the culprit is caught.


I have to say that I assumed that you had amended your post as this is the East Dulwich forum & not the Peckham forum, so were merely wishing to get the facts right.


Horrible things happen everywhere in London, regardless of postcodes & thank you for making us all aware of this incident.

    • 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. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
