The posters in Bellendon Road shop windows from the police indicating a spate (is that word acceptable???????;-)) of car break ins might indicate that there is something to be alert to. As does the sense that an area is being targeted. (I too was broken into during the summer - ripped open front sash, but only ancient, worthless work laptop taken.


There may not be a quantifiable/verifiable increase but the location seems to be currently in vogue for the robbing fraternity. If this makes people more conscious of their window/door security then all to the common good I say. Wish I had taken more notice!!

I have only seen one such poster on Bellenden Road (in the newsagents window) - do correct me if I'm wrong. And if that's the one you're referring to then it's been up in the window practically since I moved into the area five years ago. Lock your doors and close your windows by all means - but do that because you live in London in 2011, not because you perceive you live in some high-risk area.

I do because it's sensible!

However I can see from the new police site that the Lane ward has above average rates of crime with 71 burglaries in Dec.

So maybe being more aware of home security rather than trusting to luck is a sensible stance to take.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
