Hi Mike


Franster and I used to live on Burrow Road..now on Abbotswood Road. Its a nice road...where we first lived when we moved here.


Its about a 10 min walk to East Dulwich station..about 2 mins to the Sainsburys (open 24 hrs) and of course you have tbe Dulwich Hamlet Football Ground which is great fun local football.


The neighbours are mainly young couples, families and very nice and friendly.


Ooh just down the road from Burrow Road...is Costcutter...open 24 hrs , 7 days a week ...fully stocked with booze all the time!


Yes you have us, Ladygooner, Ladymuck, Dave and Ratty living here!

Ten minutes Weegee...really?...someone as young as you? Takes me 4 mins. to get to ED Station!;-)


Mr. Pallywotsitooos, Royalty live here you know...but being Chief Bhuna and all that you might just get a look in;-).


There's a really friendly, nice community spirit, it's quiet and yet most things are close by. And as Ladygooner has said, lots of lovely neighbours. I love it.

I looked at the neighbourhood when first looking in ED. Is it right that it was built by two different developers? Barratt and Wimpey? Is there any difference to the quality of the builds? Soundproofing and heat retention etc. They look like they would be easy to maintain.

Yes etate was built by both Barratt and Wimpey. Key difference is how each chose to do lay out as dimensions are pretty much the same (originally was due to all be built by Wimpey but then sold off about half the estate). Later build tended to have downstairs cloakroom and smaller living room. I lived there for 10 years and always found it a good location with the train and Sainsburys on your doorstep.

Built by Beazer and Wimpey. Wimpey slightly better quality build, but Beazers are more roomy. Maintenance? A doddle!

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By dan b · Posted

      London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom.

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      By redjam · Posted

      This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.

      Councillor Jon Hartley

      By MaryT · Posted

      Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
