Hi all,


I recently moved to Bawdale Rd (by Franklins off Lordship Lane)in E Dulwich and can't find anyone that delivers papers in the area.


The one that I did find was the newsagents up by the library but they won't deliver this far down Lordship Lane. Does anyone know anyone else that delivers papers to my part of E Dulwich?


Thanks for any advice .

we tried to find a shop that would deliver this end too but they all said that paper rounds were a thing of the past, apparently to do with child employment laws etc. But if the shop at the plough does it then it must still be something that happens, please let us know if you find a news agent that does deliver!

dulwichal, I don't wish to appear pedantic but it doesn't surprise me you plumped for the Grauniad home delivery service given the misspelling of the word 'newspapers' in the title of your thread.


What are the chances of the delivery boys delivering to your correct address? But then again, you probably won't mind, or even notice.


Edited for deliberate typo, 'Grauniad'

Now now Silverfox typos are easily done.


Nuffink to do wiv porr speling ;-)


Edited to add my main thought (sorry got carried away!) - dulwichal is there a particular reason you wish to have papers delivered to you? You're not that far from a newsagents. I'm not being rude or anything. I am simply curious :)

Really? Could you post the link offering the same service at the Guardian? I ask because I was only aware of a subscription service which sends vouchers to be redeemed at a local newsagents.


Our newsagent delivers - but sadly teenagers on bikes is indeed a thing of the past, ours gets driven round in a car by one of the shop's owners. Just don't mention the environment....

It's got a whole page ad in today's Guardian.


They promise delivery by 7:00am on weekdays and 08:30 on weekends inc Sunday's Observer. Not sure what happens if you have a different Sunday paper. And you pay less than the cover price.


Seems pretty good to me.

Actually if you use the delivery service it seems you pay the full cover price. A quick calculation for me works out that I am better off with my current subscription saving 33% each year (about ?150) and paying ?2 a week to my local newsagent to deliver rather than paying full price for the Guardian to deliver.


I also like the flexibility of my subscription vouchers so I can use them when on holiday in this country or give them to friends if I go abroad.


Thank you to everyone for the links to the home delivery service.

We have had the Independent delivered for over a year and it's super reliable - always through the door by 7am. And they often run great deals - when we first signed up we got a John Lewis voucher (can't remember the amount but it worked out to have practically paid for the first few months of the subscription).


KalamityKel - the reason why we get home delivery instead of going up to the shops is that then we can read it in our dressing gowns over breakfast. Mornings are enough of a rush without a special trip to the newsagent!

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
