Did anyone read that piece about Northcross Road in this weeks Time Out? According to them a one bedroom flat on Northcross road costs ?225,500! Is that right? Surely a flat hasn't sold for that much round here and they also say a 3 bed in Fellbrigg is ?410,000! Are the street paved with gold round here!!!!

It's not just East D though is it? The whole of London has gone bonkers in the last few months. That said, a banker from Clapham (an actual banker, that's not a euphemism) said to me the other night that she was looking to move but that she thought East Dulwich was "a bit expensive". How times have changed...
Best roads eh? I live on East Dulwich Road and I really like it, it's 5 minutes to East Dulwich train station, staggering distance from Lordship Lane, a (big) football kick from Peckham Rye, close to convenience stores and has Goose Green next to it. It can be a bit noisy because of cars, but then again, it's London innit.

I seem to recall the flat-conversions in the old school went for astonishing amounts - so if one of those has been re-sold lately that sort of price would not surprise me at all.


So does anyone know what they are building on the site of the belatedly-demolished wreck at the junction of Overhill & Underhill Roads??

Oakhurst Grove's great - I just moved in a few months ago from Camberwell


It's close(ish)to Lordship Lane and Peckham Rye (good for beers and dog walks in that order)


The Gree , the Codfather and a bus stop are at the end of the road


It's also blocked off at the ED Road end so it's nice and quiet (You can still get a bike or scooter through the gap)

Although London in general is stupidly expensive, ED is in a league of it's own! I'm from there, and would love to get a place there, but just can't afford it. Up the road in Sydenham you get much more for your money, and with the exception of a severe lack of decent pubs, it's generally just as nice.
My sister wants to move up to a small 3-bed house in East Dulwich but can't afford it. She can go up to about 330k I think. She's been looking in Nunhead and Forest Hill. Does anyone have any suggestions re. other good up-and-coming areas nearby? I suggested 'posh Peckham' but this is now apparently as expensive as East Dulwich.

I know of a stunning 3 bed semi in Hindmans Rd that recently sold for just under ?500k.


As for up and coming - well Elephant would be the obvious choice if you have the patience and really want to cash in on the regeneration. Look what regeneration did for Peckham. Elephant isn't really oing to be desirable to live for another 5 years at least though.


Hey you could always try up and coming East London! Olympics anyone?!

Our 4 bed in ED was valued at ?650 three months ago, we would get more if we also converted our loft. At these prices we could afford to move into the village now (but only a 3 bed) but no way! Our road is nice and quiet and leafy. The only really busy roads in ED are Lordship Lane (obviously), Grove Vale, East Dulwich Grove and Barry Road.


The estate agents say that young people are choosing ED over the village now and I can see why. The village is very picturesque, but there's not much choice re shops and places to eat and drink. ED has so many bars and restaurants to choose from and they're really good - I rarely stay in town now after work and instead prefer to go out in ED and I can stagger home from Lordship Lane in 5 minutes. The boutiques in ED are really good too, although some are a bit pricey.


ED also has the choices of 2 parks - Peckham Rye Common or Dulwich Park - I live about 10 minutes walk from each and its nice to have a choice. Peckham Rye isn't used as much and I think its really under-rated - since the gardens have been done up, its great and even before that it was pretty good. I also would hate having to use the car all the time if I was in the village - the village doesn't have many bus services so you can only really rely on the train (although it is a regular service), and there's nowhere in walking distance to get your weekly groceries.


I once said that once I could afford to move to the village, I'd be off like a shot, but I've really changed my mind now. Having said that, you can't deny that the village is pretty to look at and good for a walkabout on a sunday afternoon.

One green space that people so seldom mention when chatting about Dulwich is Sydenham and Dulwich Woods. I've spent many a happy weekend afternoon strolling in the woods and I love it. I even enjoy walking up through the woods and on into Crystal Palace Park a bit further on. I know that park is not in Dulwich, but it is a lovely green space as well and I love the eccentric bits, like the remnants of the Crystal Palace, and the quirky model dinosaurs near the lake.
We're very lucky with access to green space in East Dulwich. Don't forget a quick bus ride up Lordship Lane towards Sydenham takes you to Hornimans Gardens. A great green space including a small animal enclosure for the kids to look at, and of course a fabulous free museum with exhibitions and activities for kids most weekends.

The Gardens (opposite peckham rye common) are nice - grand houses set around a garden square. Whole houses go for over a million.


There's lots of lovely spots around ED. One of my favourites is the church on the corner of melbourne grove/east dulwich grove. There's someone with very green fingers there as the front garden always look lovely - i pass by it every day on my way to the station. It always looks very colourful in spring and summer.


People always talk about property prices but you're not really making any money unless you sell up and go to a cheaper area - that's the only real way to cash in on the equity.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
