Hi everyone, I'm writing a listicle for a London publication with the title 'you know you grew up in East Dulwich when...'


So far I have:


You know that the best view of London can be found from Dawson?s Heights field or Nunhead reservoir


You supported Dulwich Hamlet FC before they were cool


You've probably lied about being from Peckham at least once


You bought all your gifts at either ED or Willow on Lordship Lane


Interested to hear your suggestions!

I think that can be extended to the whole of London......

You remember when Woolworths were in the building where Foxtons now occupy.


When North Cross Road market was famed for getting cheap items and operated during the week.


When there were at least 3 or 4 butchers in the lane.


When you got money from the office licence for bringing back empty pop bottles.


When there were corner shops on most corners.

When: you got chucked in Peckham Rye Pond, went to the R Whites Disco, when your expectant friends skipped boroughs for their delivery to get a better location on their paperwork, when you went swimming at the baths then undone it all with chips over the road. When people in East Dulwich, leave "east" out, like they are in the posh bit! When you could drive all through the back turnings "outlander rd".
