I think ED will surpass Clapham on the posh factor, because as you say Jeremy, Clapham does have some very rough housing estates, whereas ED has realtively few examples of no-go areas.. Most of the council blocks are on land owned by the Dulwich Estate anyway.

_I've never thought that E D will become like Clapham where practically every house is House and Garden'd. Nero_


People used to say that about Clapham 25 years ago when I lived there, just after I moved from Fulham. The yummy mummies are taking over everywhere. It's just a matter of time.


It was the twentieth anniversary of me moving to ED last week, in order to escape. I moved in just two weeks before the great storm of October 1987.

Does anyone know when ED became so self-satisfied? It seems really recent to me - the last year maybe, unless I just didn't notice it before, I'm not sure. It used to be a nice place to hang out in the evenings or weekends without being so pretentious. Lordship Lane reminds me of a Victorian promenade, where people just want to be see and be seen these days.
Or posing up the Kings Road used to be, or French cafe society. Go on any street in Paris and people are doing exactly the same. Mind you all us smokers have to be outside the bars and cafes these days just so we can have our fags with our booze. But I would certainly draw the line at being called self-satisfied as you put it Darcy.
Although we non-smokers now have much cleaner and pleasant pubs and restaurants to visit, the downside is that in good weather pub gardens and pavement tables at restaurants and cafes are now monopolised by that poor downtrodden minority, the smokers.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
