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.

    • Our latest guest says that politicisation of universities is unhealthy, and the equation "Empire = Evil" is not historically tenable. He was used to speaking openly. Then in 2017 a Cambridge academic posted on social media in response to Biggar's proposed project looking at the Good and the Bad in Empire: "OMG this is serious shit. We Must CLOSE THIS DOWN." In his words, he saw there was a problem. Problems remain with embedded intolerance but this new member of the House of Lords still aspires to determine the truth of things. Meet Lord Biggar of Castle Douglas CBE, Regius Professor Emeritus of Moral & Pastoral Theology at Oxford University, on his visit to Peckham to talk with Chris Haydon and a small invited audience.  
    • What has any of this got to do with Gala?
    • I suspect Lambeth's legal team have decided that it is far better to potentially upset a High Court judge (maybe beg for forgiveness) than face the wrath of the legal teams of event organisers, promoters, service providers who would come after them for a lot of money if the event had to be cancelled. Clearly the original error was on the part of the council so I suspect that would make them liable for any losses/reputation damage incurred due cancellation/disruption.
    • I suspect it was putting "not bankrupting Lambeth Council" considerations first. Cancelling those festivals at a week to go could have been financially catastrophic and may have unleashed financial hell on Lambeth.
