Favourite part of East Dulwich.

[waynetta]

Mine's the road out.

No seriously. Mine's the road that runs off Lordship Lane up to Alleyns school, where all the coaches park that p*ss everybody off.

Is this East Dulwich?

[Keef]

Corner of Underhill / Crystal Palace Road.

Is 'favourtite' a code word for horrible. Or did you mean favourite in an ironic sense?

[DJKillaQueen]

For me it's Peckham Rye Park, which isn't strictly East Dulwich, but there's nothing in East Dulwich I like better than that.

Its funny because when I saw the question I thought this would be easy, but I don't really have a favourite part.

Possibly Franklins is its best asset. If it has to ba a place/area I have always liked Eynella Road which is very nice and also leads down to the park.

It'd be a dull old place without Lordship Lane despite its many eyesores

Fellbrigg surely.....

And what Woof said (well, the bits I understood, anyway...)

[SeanMacGabhann]

now people are picking their favourite businesses - is that what the OP meant?

I think this thread has come up a couple of times before and I can't remember what I said then

Walking through Peckham Rye park looking at the red double decker buses pass the big houses on the ED side always gives me a thrill

Standing at the top of Barry Road looking down into town works for me

Coming over the top of DKH on the upper deck of a bus, after a long journey away from London makes me feel funny too

Shut up Sean.

Anyway, Quids has the right of it. Lordship Lane is East Dulwich. Other than that, it's just a colection of houses (and the CPT).

nice

The view from Dawson's Hill on a sunny day is phenomenal, as is the view when you come over the brow of Dog Kennel Hill

[Dorothy]

I am very fond of the view from the brow of Upland Road towards Canary Wharf. Especially at night.

I like Therapia, Marmora and Mundania Roads too, and sometimes when I'm feeling extra cheeky I'll walk down Homestall Road for the thrill of it.

[Twirly]

Depends on the time of year, but right now I feel pretty fond of Goose Green as the trees look fantastic in their autumn colours.

The only trouble with picking one bit of ED as a favourite is that if you isolate it from the whole, it seems less special. I love ED as the sum of it's parts, not due to individual bits.

Dawson's Hill and the bit of ED that featured in Spooks last week. Doesn't feel like the city at all and it's only a minute's walk from my house. Love it.

While the view coming over Dog Kennel is always a welcome sight, Dawson's Heights does - for me - detract from the scene.

I'm with SM on this one, Barry Road from otside the church, I always want to stand in the middle of the road and look and look but I don't because of the getting run over thing. I find it particularly impressive in the winter time when the trees are bare, it's quite a sight from the top front right seat of the 197.

Of course LL, that place of contrasts - by day a fluffy grotto of consumerism peopled by fragrant mothers in floral dresses leading crocodiles of their offspring on bikes around the pavements while at night transformed into a vomitous seething pit of licentiousness and carnage where toughs from Catford, hopped-up on goofballs make fun of the local men shod in their Crocs and Uggs and the bikes are of an altogether different kidney. Oh yes.

And of course there is the Barry off licence on Barry Rd overseen by the mensch that is Barry. If you're going to visit thi institution then may I suggest you do so on the days that Barry is doing the shop accounts at his 'desk', they really should sell tickets.

Poor Sean

I know what he means though.

Actually when I really think about it mine are small areas like the bit out the front of Moxons when the Sushi lady is there, the wood threshold into Franklins Farm shop where I stand on & talk toss with Tim.

Those bits are good for me

( if talking toss were an Olympic sport, oh... )

HonaB, don't die soon or anything. You are my favourite "part" of ED.

We could preserve him and stick him in a glass case in the atrium at Iceland, like Jeremy Bentham

[felt-tip]

the LL end of Pellatt Rd is my facvourite part
