Hi all, I will be moving to Dawson's Heights on Overhill Road shortly, been there twice to look at the property it seems very quiet and a nice place to live for a young couple. Just looking for some feedback from people that have or are living there on what live is like on the estate ? Any comments negative or positive would be greatly appreciated !

We welcome you to Dawson's Heights,

it is high enough to see out, over the sights.

There is so much to see, so much on show,

as long as you don't suffer from Vertigo.


Look over London and see the sights,

when its dusk you can see bright lights.

To your flat climb the stairs or use the lift,

shortly a list of friends will start to exist.


If you want to find where shopping is best,

there are many that will answer your request.

Travelled here by Bus, Car, Plane or Train,

I bet you will soon feel you want to remain.

It will be busy tonight. Lots of people congregate to see the views and fireworks across London.

As long as you have a car/motorcycle and / or a good set of lungs to climb up and down the hill, you are going to have a great time. The views are so wonderful. Having said that maybe your own flat does not have a view! The north facing 'garden' does, though! And of course then you have Horniman Gardens also. A great place to live I would have thought. Just buy a BIG freezer to stock up on stuff when you are snowed in and can't walk or drive up and down the hills! Welcome to the area.

its a nice area! the blocks look daunting but i find it quite pleseant enough...

you have your own basketball court and great views of london in the dark when it all lights up well i do at the front anyway lol......


if only 5 trees would dissapear over night that blur my nearly clear amazing view!... does anyone know how to suttley quickly KILL 5 large trees!! fast tree eating termites pherhaps! lol


couple of crazy people around but they keep themselves to themselves generally and you WILL regulaly smell herbals being smoked! ive been offered 5 times allready as i walked past! lol


no actuall trouble atall in the 3 months ive been on the estate and they keep it pretty clean too..



how ever dont leave your bikes if you have any locked outside your house or on any pillars! they wont stay there for long as i found out!!


other that great area!


welcome, and if you need a hairdresser give me a shout!(tu)

    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
    • Just be careful to know exactly what they cover and the limits. i use Many Pets and Medivet, as I think one of the vets is exceptionally good. Some of the NHV are, but I’ve had a couple I’ve not liked at all.  I need consistency and to feel that they actually care more about the animals than the money.
