I suppose, but it was the *average* sales price. The average cost of a 3 and 4 bed house was listed as only slightly more in SE21 too. I'm surprised as I thought Dulwich was a lot more expensive than ED. Nice to see familiar places in the pictures - I'm sure me and my sister is in the picture of the cafe!
it's mad...I suspect it just reflects the quality and small number of flats available in the village...small sample innit. It just shows how much SE22 is punching above its weight for pretty average housing stock. I live here, I like it but the prices are madness for pretty small victorian terraces built for railway workers and junior clerks not that well connected. 15 years ago it was a real bargain area but now......bleedin' madness.

Well its still cheaper than equivalent property anywhere west of here. Don't think ED is going to get cheaper anytime soon.

I am horrified by this lazy journalism. Alleyn Park is sooo not the place to live in SE21, it is Alleyn Road (stomps foot). Alleyn Park has three schools and can be congested and difficult to find parking. Alleyn Road is much more quiet and select. Magpie clearly knows what she is talking about.

Please no. Crap like the ES can stay rooted north of the river. It's already available at Waterloo station, and that's close enough for me.

In general, I really like the Evening Standard and look forward to my regular fix of Liz Hoggard. I love the fact that the Evening Standard is London centric and keeps me in touch with what is going on in Town. I simply wish that they would run a feature on Alleyn Road.


I haven't seen the glossy ES magazine for a few weeks, please some-one tell me that Peaches Preaches has been tossed onto the scrap heap? Why anyone would write to that vacuous 21 year old divorcee for advice is beyone me (stomps foot). If she were my daughter, I would lock her in her boxroom. I think that she has had far too many E numbers in her diet.

    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
