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

    • Use to be a place in Clapham.. second hand
    • If you want to change a radiator and it is the same size, pretty straight forward.  isolate by turning the two valves, one is straight forward hand twist, the other side you need to take the cap off and get an adjustable spanner and turn till closed.  Both clockwise. Use the same spanner to undo the large nuts that fix the radiator to the pipework, open the bleed valve, get a flatish container to catch the water which is likely to be a grotty black, sheets/plastic underneath to protect floor/floor covering.  Then jiggle off, tipping as quick as you an into your water container. Fingers crossed it will be the same back plate fitting.  If not you will have to take the old one off and fix the new one. Replacement is a reverse, allowing the rad to refill and let the air out. No naked flames involved. If it is a different size I can advise on that too. Lots on line too: https://www.toolstation.com/help-and-advice/how-to-guides/how-to-remove-radiator?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19747119835&gclid=CjwKCAiAkvDMBhBMEiwAnUA9BR26YwBA6kOfcR4-JVxfJEjWdhRk6j0imCNcsIfu064wHN54-cs10xoCZ4cQAvD_BwE Although this is for a pressurised (combi) system where you need to get it back to pressure.  Pretty simple.  I don't bother with jointing compound.    
    • Fair enough - I'm absolutely wrong on that one. 👍
    • I'm still completely unclear what happened, apart from that a car apparently crashed into a lamp post opposite the Co-op. I presume the one in Lordship Lane, though the OP doesn't say. Was it speeding? Did it swerve to avoid someone who ran into the road? Did something go wrong with its brakes or steering? Did the driver have a medical emergency or fall asleep or got  distracted by something? Was there something slippery on the road surface? Was the driver hurt? Were any passengers hurt? Were any pedestrians or other road users hurt? Were there any witnesses?
