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...

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
