After having a couple of pints of real ale that has brought a smile to my face. Seriously though it seems you're not that clued up as to this area. Some estate agent schpeel for you http://www.thatchandco.com/locations/West_Dulwich.htm You perhaps ought to find out a bit more of the area if your geography is so poor.

Children and geography!


We used to get out our old bikes and explore. When we got home we drew maps from memory of where we had been.


I well remember regular visits to the West Dulwich Police Station wooden notice-board to check the Colorado beetle poster. Never did find one that we could report to the police.


The Belair council-run cafe/canteen was more useful to park-goers than the exclusive eatery that's there now.

i'd have to go for sydenham although i understand the big houses in the conservation area go for anything up to ?800k (stupid money i know, but the houses are huge)...


high street does have potential and the transport links are first rate... i dont know an awful lot about schools but i dont think that they are that great? (i'm taking about the state schools here)..

I think they're a mixed bag. A good friend of mine worked in a local school a couple of years ao and told me it was absolutely awful and advised Mrs Keef (a teacher) to avoid it. Mrs Keef did some work in another school last year though, and said it was great.


Biggest shame is that they're probably going to close Brent Knoll which is a special school that Mrs Keef worked in for most of last year. They are fantastic, and offer great support from kids from primary through secondary, with autism and other needs. But Lewisham in their knowledge have decided that these kids will be better off in mainstream classes of 30, with a couple of mornings a week one to one.... Go Bless the money men

Nunhead Lass--Please don't take offense at what I'm saying about schools. I am not slating the children who go there. I am simply saying compared to other schools in the wider area, Nunhead schools are not as good. I'm sure we can all agree that it helps to have decent facilities, staff that aren't under-supported and over-worked (and probably underpaid), and parents who are willing to get involved in the schools. Unfortunately, all these things combined need to reach a "tipping point" before things turn around for a school. But of course, it takes a long time to reach that tipping point, and usually an under performing school becomes stuck in a viscious circle.

A small quibble here, Bolands shut at least two years ago. It's now a restaurant but the names of it slips my mind. Dave, who ran the bar there now runs The Drum on North Cross Road.

Agreed, I grew up there and for the strip north of jamaica Road there simply is no comparison. As a little kid walking round that wasy I used to dream of living in one of those Warehouses overlooking the Thames.


Bermondsey is not ED - that's like comparing apples and pears. But they are both good in their own way.

Hey Downsouth I know the guys who made a stack buying up those old warehouses when they were going for a song, simply to get the storage, then sold out later. Nice guys, and own the kind of jets you dont have to bend down to get into.All of the millionaires I know from bookselling made their stack on property speculation necessitated by needing lots of cheap storage. Look and learn, as the fans used to sing...

      Purchasing Freehold from Dulwich Estate?

      its based on the income  the [to be x] freeholder will lose - ie the ground rent and any service charges. Unless D Estate follows different laws to everybody else.

      Purchasing Freehold from Dulwich Estate?

      By the fruity dj · Posted

      Hi everyone. I’m currently in the process of buying a house on the Dulwich Estate with ~86 years left on the lease. I’ve found it quite hard to get clear information online about the realistic cost of buying the freehold from the Dulwich Estate. I was wondering if anyone here has experience dealing with the Dulwich Estate and, if so, roughly how much it cost to purchase the freehold. I know it will vary depending on the property, but even a ballpark figure would be really helpful so we can decide whether the purchase makes sense for us. Thanks very much in advance.

      Victorian gas outlet??? Any advice?

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      It looks like a tap for the gas lighting that used to be found in those homes. The little tap would regulate the flow of gas to give a brighter or dimmer lamp. It's probably not part of any gas feed now and you can check that for yourself by following the gas pipework from your meter (which should only run to the kitchen to supply a boiler and cooker). Next time you have your boiler serviced, ask the engineer to have a look for you.

      Fabulous Electrician Paul Edgley

      By George Wilson · Posted

      Another strong recommendation from me from Peckham Rye area. Paul sent Damian to sort out our tripping sockets. We’d had another electrician come and try to fix it a couple of weeks earlier who was not good, but Damian was extremely thorough and methodical in diagnosing the issue and fixing it. He tested every socket to make sure the problem was sorted. He arrived bang on time and talked me through exactly what he was finding and how the problem had likely come about as he went. Very polite, friendly and excellent value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we need an electrician. Great team,  great service!
