Hi both


My girlfriend and I moved to Bellenden Road a month or so ago. We really like East Dulwich, but our journey to work is from Peckham Rye so it's great to live so close to the station.


Completely agree with Chantelle about the local eateries. We also love the chocolate shop (The Melange - check it out for a thick steamy hot chocolate if you haven't done so yet), Ganapati and the Meat Wagon (which turns up from time to time at the nearby industrial estate of all places). For drinks, Bar Story and the pop-up place on top of the carpark (Franks, I think) are also good fun. Looking forward to the Warwick Gardens WingDing on Saturday week - maybe see you there ...

Consider the graceful, riverine sweep of Bellenden Road as it flows from Danby to Chadwick.


Here on its sunny banks we find bakers, choclatiers, clothiers, launderers, automobile entertainment specialists, hairdressers and licensed victuallers.


Scuttling through the undergrowth are the night animals; prostitutes, addicts and the lost seeking the warmth of a darkened burrow as day breaks.


On the upper, western reaches of the Bellenden slumber the urban masses, tightly secured in loft-converted dwellings.


To the east, the street meanders with estuarine langour and reluctance into the great Peckham Delta.


But here, between Danby and Chadwick, that is all yet to come. And life seems possible.

panda- I moved in to the victoria inn when we opened almost 4 months ago & I have been overwhelmed with the area. I feel like i have lived here for years!

everyone is so friendly & there is a real community feeling around here & i can honestly say i couldn't imagine wanting to live anywhere else.

you have Ganapati on your doorstep which i think is one of the most incredible places you could ever eat.

have you been there yet?

& obviously you came here so i'm glad you approve of your new local. I missed you that evening though so please do pop in & say hi soon.


Stephen W- did you come to the Meatwagon here last night? now we have knocked down the wall for Yianni to work his magic I'm sure he will be visiting again very soon.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
