Please be vigilant as you are walking home in this area over the coming days...


At 4pm today I was 100m from my home, listening to music on my iPhone when two men on a moped/motorbike mounted the pavement behind me and snatched the phone out of my hands before riding off towards Lordship Lane/the A205.


I've reported the crime to the police/mobile phone company/insurers and I also feel stupid for not being more vigilant/allowing my phone to be in plain view outdoors, but at least I'm not harmed.


Please do look after yourselves and your phones as I imagine the same people will probably be trying a few sweeps of the area.

At around 4.30 pm at the junction of Frogley road and Lordship Lane a lady was on her phone outside of the shop I work in and two guys on a black scooter type motorbike drove onto the pavement and tried to snatch the phone from her hand ,luckily enough she managed to hang onto her phone. I called the police and reported it and there is a good chance they would be seen on the shops CCTV. She was shaken but unharmed thankfully . Seems to be a regular thing happening in the area ,so please be vigilant .
Thanks for this Ozzy - it sounds like the same guys. I hope no-one else was affected. The police are coming to see me on Sunday so I'll mention this too. If anyone else has experienced anything like this recently, please PM me and I'll forward this information on to the police as well.

Sorry to hear this, glad you're unharmed and no you're not in the least stupid - 100% of the blame is on the perpetrators.

    • I had this same query the other week - Mediquip no longer cover Southwark and I believe the company when bankrupt? Anyway, after some digging, I found the news on the adult social care page of Southwark Council website.  The new supplier of medical equipment that is issued to Southwark residents via an OT from the council or the NHS is Provide Equipment Hub.  I emailed them about returning two items and they did promptly respond and came and picked up the items the following week.  Email them at [email protected] Importantly, they will come and do urgent repairs of equipment like hospital beds.  I'm surprised that Southwark haven't made this change more widely known as it will impact many vulnerable residents.

    • Hello East Dulwich families 👋 I wanted to introduce myself to the community. I’m a professional family & wedding photographer with 14+ years of experience, and I split my time between the US and London throughout the year. I’ll be based in London for the coming weeks and would love to photograph more local families here in East Dulwich. My approach is very relaxed and natural — no stiff posing, no pressure — just real connection, movement, and the beautiful everyday moments that tell your family’s story. I work especially well with kids and parents who feel “awkward” in front of the camera (which honestly is most of us!). Sessions can take place at home, in the park, on your favourite street, or anywhere that feels meaningful to you. The goal is to create images that feel like your life — not a photoshoot. If anyone has been thinking about documenting this season with their children, I’d love to connect, answer questions, or simply share examples of my work. No pressure at all — just happy to be here and meet some neighbours. You can see my work here: https://bluesparkphotography.com/family/ (use the contact page on the site to send me a message if you're interested!).
