Does anyone else want to air thier views on East Dulwich? Some rough questions are at the start of the thread.

Please can we bring the discussion back to East Dulwich and the original questions? Cheers Alex

Thanks for the responses. I am more interested in how people think of the area rather than the cold facts of drawing out where East Dulwich is on a map. Where do you feel that East Dulwich starts and ends? As I am doing a study on how people think of the area it is really about personal feelings about the area and how it is and has changed rather than simply which shops have changed and so on. Thanks Alex

I am a Geography student at Nottingham University and am currently doing my final year dissertation on the concept of Place and Local Identity in East Dulwich. I am interested in how people think of the area, how it has changed and why people feel certain ways. Where do you feel is the boundary of East Dulwich? Is it around Lordship Lane or does it spread from around the station? Has gentrification been a good thing or a bad thing? Has anything been lost with the changes or is the area returning to the glory days before Sainsbury's? Is it a nice place to live, if so why is it better than surrounding areas? What makes East Dulwich stand out from other areas? Is there a strong sense of community and neighborhood in the area? More than other areas? Why? Does East Dulwich have a local Identity? How would you describe the place? Any response would be greatly appreciated, to hear the views of people who live in the area would be very useful for my research. Also it is quite possible that people's views may vary depending on how long they have lived in the area so any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Alex
