West Norwood has a really good train service from West Norwood station. It is close to west dulwich and has qute a few good nurseries- especially Nellys. Rosendale school serves some of west norwood, but when I last looked, a few years ago, Elmwood Primary/junior school was not so good, but houses closer to streatham might get into Julians school. of course if you are going private there are lots of west dulwich private schools . try looking at west dulwich forum for some school threads. I think it is aerier than East Dulwich .
