When you went into Osgoods the sweet shop on Forest Hill Road, then next door into the dairy shop, the greengrocers where the Turkish supermarket is now and the little bakers (was part of a local chain of bakers) just slightly further down from what used to be the doctors surgery upstairs.

When you remember



- the barber shop opposite the police station on crystal palace road (Upland road side), the barber used to shave all the beards of the police officers from the station with his 2 daughters giggling as they lathered the policemen's beards.


- the slipper baths in Dulwich public baths


- Gordons greengrocers (where the turkish greengrocers is now on forest hill road)


- the little indian sweet shop on Forest Hill Road - next to Jonathans newsagents


- the jeans shop at the back of Dulwich police station on Lordship Lane...what went on in the back?


- Waverley school girls having to wear their red netball skirt and kit, on the main road on Peckham Rye


- the butchers shop with sawdust on the floor on Forest Hill Road (along where Beauty Plus is)


- 7.11 opening up and being the cool shop to go to..and yes the slurpies


- the tyres that you would jump on in Peckham Rye Adventure Playground, before the days of health and safety.:))

yes dbboy that's the butchers, Linghams!

I remember the electric fly catchers that they used to have in the shop:)

Later Linghams moved to Peckham Rye (where the Blue Tit hairdressers now is I believe)


I also remember the bakers, owned by the same chap who had a bakery in Dulwich Village.


jeans shop - yeh you're right otta ...shudder to think... :)

Ha! I was one of those girls wearing the red jumpers,my friends and I were a lovely bunch but I'll be the first to admit that were some rough scary girls at Waverley.


When my mum used to pop to the shop (where St Christopher's shop next to the cafe is) to pay off for our new beds.

When we used to get videos from Blockbusters.

When the Offie man on the corner of Landells Road/Lordship Lane would sell us booze even though we were underage.

When Hisar was Yilmaz and was constantly visited by the police.

When Waverley School used to have a swimming pool.

    • My bird app just picked up swifts before I heard or saw them!  
    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
