Since April 1998.


Came to London in 1989 (From Durham...I consider it to be missionary work....) having tried Maida Vale, Highgate, Wimbledon Park, Putney & Wimbledon Chase before arriving here.


I see there is still much work to do..... ;-)

Too right there is, compared to all the places you've lived in before, ED must feel positively primative.

Is this a competition? If so started in Longford..Dublin..Hackney..Tower Bridge(outside of it but near enough)..Hanwell..East Acton..West Hampstead..Hammersmith..Streatham..Fulham..one or two I can't remember and East Dulwich 20 years. What do I score?
I thought I was ancient and reading all this confirms that I am, have lived in East Dulwich since 1950 - grew up in Spurling Road (which was designated slum clearance twice) moved to Forest Hill in 1969 - to escape the damp rot and fungi in our lounge. Extended family lived in Landells road, I returned to ED -1971 and live within a mileof my childhood haunts.

    • This is where I sit too. A two day event is bearable. Three tests my tolerance. Finding the right balance on size, noise and impact is where I contribute to the consultation process. BUT, as I wrote elsewhere, every year the GALA organisers ask/ push for more, and deals have already been done with the council before it gets to public consultation stage. It is also worth pointing out that when a licence was first granted, the orgnaisation was different (We Are the Fair), one of the company directors lived literally next to the park (she left when it became GALA) and the current form bears no resemblance to original ethos/ vision sold to the council and licensing committee. This needs to be pointed out and I am fairly confident local councillors would also support a pushback on any further expansion. We have local elections next year, so councillors ears will be open.
    • Niko was really great. He fixed my blocked shower very quickly, was great at communicating and a lovely guy to talk to. And he doesn't charge the earth! 
    • Not really sure why SE22 is getting upset about Brockwell Park.  I expect more people around here attend the festivals than are inconvenienced by it.  But it supports my view that many like to complain even when not directly affected. Football grounds move.  Attendances change.  Demographic too,not old blokes in flat caps or boys in short trousers with rattles.  Arsenal attendances at the Emirates are over twice what they were in the late 80s at Highbury.  Much more disruption in N1 nowadays.  DHFC tripples what they were 15 years ago, but good news is much quieter than the past.  
    • The School doesn't have any supplementary forms as of admissions from September 2025. So anyone can go now, it's a nice school!
