For Rent: Lovely room in friendly houseshare in East Dulwich


Clare-Bear

Recommended Posts

We have a furnished room going in our great sharing houseshare on Melbourne Grove. We are looking for someone from end March to mid April (a bit flexible).


We have a shared house account and buy and share our mainly vegetarian food together. We love veg boxes, bicycles and good music. There is a garden for growing things in spring, brunches in the South London sun and bonfires in the winter. It?s really important that we get along with whoever moves in and that he/she is happy to participate in the life of the house.


We are four at the moment, Clare (climber, foodcoop organiser), Sean (excellent cook, hill walker), Alice (moving out) and Ralph (adventure cycle tourer). Services we offer for other housemates: Ralph can build a wheel and always hunts for good bread. Clare knows all the best runs in the area, Sean makes the best ottolenghi food. We have two fluent French and somewhat fluent Spanish speakers - keen on language sharing, foreign movies :-)


The house has 4 bedrooms, a large living room, good sized kitchen and a garden (with a garage in it where we can store bicycles). The room is 510 Pounds plus about 140 for all bills and food and even Sean?s homemade marmalade.


Please get in touch if you'd like to see the room.

    • The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
    • Do you mean that there are only very few trades people and that all of their thousands of happy customers post glowing reviews but most of them have only ever posted once to recommend said trade person on the trade person's own thread?   If so, I agree it's mysterious.  
    • Oh now you're coming over all defensive. What happened to the nice Sue, because since the early part of the year your approach seems to have changed and you've become much more challenging. No you have not broken any rules and even if you had why would I involve Admin, that's a ludicrous thing to say.  Take care Sue. 
    • I was the opposite of you. I never felt particularly happy around Brixton late at night - I didn't know it that well. Do you remember the name of the late- night Irish pub opposite the railway arches near the BR station? Was it Mulligan's? Brannigan's? To be fair, until the East London Line extension, Rye Lane walking south wasn't a favourite of mine after dark either. The only pub left on there was The Hope, which was in the other direction. It felt very bleak. I think that makes a huge difference. When The Gowlett was boarded up, Amott Road felt very different. It's like a beacon now. Pub violence does seem to have had its day in inner London. Maybe it's a result of the disappearance of pool tables, flat-roofed pubs and cheap Stella offers. I bet you could still find a Saturday night kick-up in New Addington or the  Becontree estate in Dagenham. Definitely. Pubs next to stations, kebab shops and ironically named nightclubs are all to be avoided in smaller places. The weirdest place I've ever had random trouble was in a club in St. Ives in Cambridgeshire.  I think it was called 'Options'. It was the only club there.  See also 'Jekylls' nightclub in Hyde, Manchester - a truly dreadful place where getting thrown out for fighting was infinitely preferable to spending the evening in there and coming out stinking of stale chip fat. I took a kicking in 'Kingsway Kebabs' in Swansea after a night in 'The Aviary' (so named because it was 'full of birds') nightclub. But that wasn't so random. It was a local girl, who gave me a leathering because I'd run off for a large chicken doner, rather than dance with her to 'Criticize' by Alexander O'Neal. Sorry, Sue, I've digressed a little.  To answer your question, I think London feels relatively safe overall.
