It's not that bad, really. There are worse places in the world.


Welcome to the neighbourhood.

Cant understand why the place is so much more affordable than say, Muswell Hill, Crouch end etc because its style and Chic are pretty much beyond them both.


It's South of the river. Taxi's don't come here, neither do the tubes. Neither, thank god, do people, generally, from North of the river, because of what they have heard.

Do you realise how much of a bunch of tossers you all sound?

'Style and chic', 'channel four documentaries'!!??

The original poster has moved to overhill road. Correct me if i am wrong but does'nt it have a couple of 'chic and stylish' tower blocks at the top end?


We 're talking about a middle of the road, monolithic south london suburb for christ's sake! Lordship lane is more likely to be featured on booze britain the way things seem to be going.


Great transport links?! Well forest hill station isn't even in east dulwich. Its a good 20 mins to get there once uve faffed around waiting for a bus from lordship lane.


Spending 40 mins on a bus to travel all of 6 miles to covent garden is my idea of hell. Apart from london bridge there is nowhere decent you can get to in less than half an hour, for an area that is barely 5 miles from the city centre that is piss poor.

Expat. "lots of people of tried" comment hasn't had enough love. Come on people it's genius


As for taxis back.. It's not as bad as some people describe but it has happened more often than I'd like. I've had black an drivers turn us down (all same lie ie shift finishing) at heathrow only for us to say central london and be accepted.

As the person who started the taxi-driver hare - I should point out that I was commenting on perceptions which might create a price differential between apparently similar housing north and south of the river. In fact, my own experence of whether drivers are prepared to go South of the river are as mixed as anyones - it does help to say, vaguely, 'Camberwell', (or even 'Vauxhall') and then just direct from there. Although there is no tube, taking a train into central london from ED (granted there are fewer of them) is actually much quicker than travelling the equivalent distance by tube 'up north'. But perceptions place us as a transport black spot. And that does impact housing prices.

some people are just born miserable and grumpy... bad luck old fella!


lived in the area, inc Camberwell and Peckham, for 25 yrs... think I am so lucky... brilliant, loads of interesting stuff to do, great mix of people and cultures, never (so far) had any trouble


good choice Tonyotonyo!

I chose to end the conversation as it was on the journey to know-where constructive. Monolithic to me, means a huge single momument built out of stone/rock. Which to me isn't very East Dulwich?? Maybe you live in a different area to me. If I offended you with that last post due to its patronizing nature I apologise. However, as you haven'y been the most 'welcoming' type to grace this forum I suppose I shouldn't be apologising that much. I think you indirectly called me a tosser on your first post...


Anyway shall we sweep this under the rug and forget about it? As I am not on here to waste my time arguing about trivial matters.

No Worries, regarding the football, I can whole-heartedly recomment the Crystal Palace Tavern. The back room has a classic old-school pub feel, nice big screen and generally not too many people to block your view / nick all your seats. Nice pint of Spitfire as well.


I can generally be found there whenever my beloved Man Utd are playing, however not wearing an 'Eater81' t-shirt for fear of being lynched by the East Dulwich Massive.... perhaps I should get a Man U shirt made with:


EATER

81


on the back!

Welcome to ED Tonyo. I too can vouch for the CPT. Nice no frills pub.


I haven't been yet but I think The Actress, formerly The Uplands, which has just opened on the top of Northcross Road also shows the football. There is also the East Dulwich Tavern but that can get pretty busy. I've not heard anything anti-Manchester myself. The majority of people support Chelsea I find.


Other things I would recommend, The Mag is a nice place for food, if you're a tennis fan there is a good friendly club at the bottom of Lordship Lane opposite The Harvester, and finally South East Cars (020 7732 0033) are the best taxi firm in the area. ?16 from ED to Liverpool Street... Bargain.

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
