Some astoundingly mainstream dullards in this thread.

Lived there for 6 years but frankly it's been getting a bit lame since the East Dulwich overlflow started moving in. I've lost count of the amount of times I've been down at the sorting office in Peckham and seen semeone from Bellenden colecting a parcel with East Dulwich SE15 on the adress. If you're so ashamed of the area go somewhere else. The Oglander in still one an awesome pub though. Lots of great music and still black enough to keep the home counties yahoos out. Frankly it does have 'Peckham Trouble'. Guy who runs our local shop on Avondale Rise got shot in the leg by some local yoots. Bloke got his throat slashed on Chadwick Rd last year. When I sold my last flat the estate agent (Bushells) was always complaining about 'black youths' hanging around in the street with pitbulls. Yeah it's south east London .....

This thread is hilarious. Anyway while I too would like a record shop it'd never survive. The bloke who sells CDs from the stall on Saturdays has some very good stuff. Particularly if you like reggae. The sandwich shop (the blue fronted one) on LL is alright for bread but agree a proper bakery would be good.

I work from home a lot and take conference calls on speaker-phone. Loads of people on the other end of the line have been complaining about the background noise from the jets. I don't notice it personally.

They had a (never open) roof garden when it was under the previous management. Hopefully that's developed.

When it first opened The Gowlett attacted quite a few lesbians. Not so much these days now though.
