Stupid question I know but I've just been asked to fill out two lines of my adress so rather than the usual street, London, Postcode, therefore I need to put in an area.

I've just moved to Soames Street (in-between copleston and Bellendon) and so what do I put, Peckham Rye, East Dulwich, Bellendon?? does it really matter?

Like I said trivial and stupid question but I'm curious as to what other people put who live in the area?

Thanks!

I know of at least one street that was in East Dulwich but had an SE15 postcode (I don?t know if that is still the case now, though). So, postcodes may not always exactly match the areas - especially near the borders.

Thanks everyone! Peckham it is then

Cate, sorry for my spelling mistake (dyslexia and all that!)

Was a bit of a funny one Jeremy as I usually don't bother with the area but it was a bank asking for two lines on the address and it hadn't actually occured to me that I was now moving 'out' of East Dulwich!

Hal9000, yes I had wondered as I had thought that some of the southern ends of Copelston were counted as East Dulwich and I wasn't sure if we fell into that.

Anyway it's all a little academic as we live where we live and it doesn't really matter what that is called

Though I do live in Upper Sydenham, which borders Dulwich


"Yah.... you know......"

I hadn't missed the point, no worries. I'd have left it blank I guess.


The one's which are annoying are the ones which insist on a county. To my knowledge the Royal Mail hasn't used those in address sorting for 30 years, yet I end up having to put London, in London.


Edit, county not country

Ok Ruffers :0)

I did leave it blank initally, but being an annoying bank online form it wouldn't let me procede without putting something!

I've just had to put soames st, peckham, london, london for the tv licence because they wouldn't accept any fewer address lines! some people!

Bellendon Road is in Peckham. Calling it anything else seems to be by way of clarifying 'the nice bit'. I used to live in Camberwell and found it irritating how people often tried to distance themselves from their own area ('I live in Camberwell Grove area', or 'I live in Denmark Hill', or worse 'Ruskin Village' - seriously!). Be Peckham and be proud.
I always put London for City/Town and Greater London for county, which I believe is the correct form. This will be accepted by most CRM (customer relationship management systems) and I am pretty sure is populated in a form if you use Quick Address (Addresses supplied by Royal Mail) although as you say, Royal Mail only needs City/Town and postcode.

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
