Mark - a great site, great idea, and very much needed. Thankyou.


I just wondered what you think about adding an 'Introduce yourself' sticky to make the place even friendlier? People could post as much or as little they liked.


Hell...I'll just start shall I?


I'm Matt and live in East Dulwich, and am one of those faceless commuters seen every morning at the station. I can also (sometimes!) be spotted jogging round Peckham Rye park with my iPod, and perhaps more often, in one or two of our half decent bars.

Good idea MattC


I'm Jo. I can sometimes be seen riding a folding bike, badly, around Dulwich Village & East Dulwich. I've only just got it and I'm a bit scared of the road. After 2 years in the area I think I've tried out almost every local eating place and infrequently check out the bars.

Indeed what a great website & hurrah to Matt for starting off the intros. Well I am currently living in Nth London but will be moving to East Dulwich this weekend (12th May), I work in Southwark (Bermondsey) so am vaguely familiar with the area but just wondered if there are any links for "new to the areas like myself"?


I would be grateful for any info on things to do, places to go, where to eat, shop & just hang out. I have a friend coming over from Australia soon for 8 weeks so it would be to be pre-armed with some good local knowledge.


As for me, I am 36, work & as you know about to move to East Dulwich, interested in local community safety & enviro issues. I ride a little 125 motorbike, enjoy wide open spaces (especially near water), I have a surfboard with L plates, but enjoy sufring the net too.


Look forward to hearing from anyone with local knowledge.


Cheers GG

      I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).

      We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery

      Jewellery making? Recommendations

      By byngo · Posted

      Hi. Does anyone know of a silver making jewellery workshop. I am trying to find something nice for my daughter’s 18th birthday.l for her and some friends but everything I find online is too pricey or can’t accommodate 10 girls. Thanks

      Without doubt a busy road with constant traffic - but can always put in double glazing. If you have a car, don’t expect to park right outside - prob further away but with walking distance. Agree with PeckhamNicola re train times and freight but at least not wizzing by every few minutes! Sorry but little experience in state schools - obviously you have plenty of private - Jags Dulwich College, Alleyns. Judith Kerr on Half Moon Lane - good rep - no idea whether secondary or primary  - think primary. Also Charter School North - good reputation and Ark Evelyn - no idea! You might also look at West Dulwichand Crystal Palace Schools. Try Harris Academy as well. All the best.
