HOP is zone 3 and you can use oyster. Nearest Zone 2 is Brockley.


I live on the street opposite the station and there is little parking on a morning unless you get there very early - since the opening of the overground there has been an increase in people parking in the surrounding streets. (i should say I have no vested interest in dissuading you from parking there as I dont have a car to park!)


travel before 730 and you can often get a seat

I could never find room to park even a v small car after about 8.15am, anywhere off HOP. When it's really busy you can always park on Honor Oak Rise. There's a gate at the end of HOR that leads into One Tree Hill. IF you can manage it, that leaves the very steep climb to the top of One Tree Hill then and a nice walk down to the station.


Alternatively if they would just open the gate into the cemetery from Brenchley Gardens, which I understand is at the site of an ancient stile that was a public footpath going back to the 19th century at least, people from the south of Nunhead could have a walk completely on the flat, enjoying the lovely panorama over Kent from Honor Oak Rec, on their short cut down to HOP station and the ELL.

this was a successful experience! I risked it and drove, immediatly parked HOP end of Devonshire drive in the only space in existence and glided effortlessly into Londons glamorous east end. I cant wait for it to be connected to Peckham Rye .

Its great that ED residents are catching on to the benefits of the Overground though i do wish more people would consider accessing the station without needing to take parking spaces from us residents. I iive under 5 minutes walk from the station and am fed up of my once quiet street being full of noise and nowhere to park.


The problem of this influx of commuters will inevitably lead to parking permits so in the end everyone will suffer.

How can you get to HOP from ED without driving? Is there a bus route? I think that increased pressure on parking is an inevitable result of improved transport connections, unfortunately you can't have it both ways.


Saying that, I think the train from ED to London Bridge, followed by either a bus up Bishopsgate (or tube to Old St) is probably easier for residents at the other side of ED.

agreed re parking, but I was going in and out twice, making the journey four times, in one day and time was a premium.

It saved me oodles of time compared with peckham rye london bridge and tube.

The quicker it comes to Peckham Rye, which was promised yonks ago, the better.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
