I note that North Dulwich doesn't appear on the maps. Does it really exist or is it actually Herne Hill? I understand the train station being called North Dulwich since there is already a station called Herne Hill and it's 'north of Dulwich Village'. Have the locals adopted the name because of the train station? It does sound better to be North Dulwich and must increase house prices. I know residents in Sydenham Hill were trying to get the name of the station changed to South Dulwich, which as an area doesn't exist like North Dulwich. I think the residents said it was because people were mistaking the station for Sydenham, but I wonder if the name of Dulwich was more to do with it and an increase of house prices?

Maybe, maybe not. Certainly she never got any advice on here previously, most seemed to use it as a chance to practice their tired comedy routines.

"The nearest supermarket to you is of course Tesco in Brixton, Acre Lane to be precise." Incorrect. The nearest supermarket is Upper Norwood Sainsbury's.

Hello I live on Park Hall Road, West Dulwich so I know where abouts you are. Your husband needs to walk up to West Norwood (less than 10 minutes) and catch the no2 bus outside Sainsbury's Local, that goes to Marylebone and passes through Vauxhall. There are a few other bus routes from West Norwood that are useful, the no68 to Euston passes through Camberwell, Elephant, Waterloo, Holborn before ending at Euston. West Norwood train station is on the same line as East Dulwich train station, so you can get trains to London Bridge from there. The West Dulwich train station goes to Victoria and Orpington, passes through Bromley which has a nice shopping centre with a large Primark if you don't fancy going to central London or Croydon. You can get the no3 to Brixton for the nearest tube station. You can catch a no322 bus on Park Hall Road (past the Rosendale towards West Norwood), the 322 goes to Clapham. As for supermarkets, there was talk of redeveloping West Norwood and having a supermarket there, but nothing seems to have come of it, so we aren't served very well in this area for supermarkets. The no3 to Crystal Palace takes around 5 minutes and you can walk from the bus station to Upper Norwood Sainsbury's, don't be put off with it being Upper Norwood as it is right on the border with Crystal Palace and most assume it's in Crystal Palace. I sometimes get the P13 and go to East Dulwich Sainsbury's, the bus goes all around the houses though and takes a while, I think that is why a lot from West Dulwich tend to shop in West Norwood and Crystal Palace if they haven't got a car. If you fancy ride out you can get the 322 and go to Clapham Sainsbury's. I do go to Brixton Tesco on occasion, but only if in the area. I also use Tesco online, in West Dulwich using Tesco online the goods come from Croydon Tesco which is a large store so there is a large and varied choice of what you can buy online.
