Glad to hear you were alright! Thanks for the advice - starting to think my builder was just being a bit sensationalist.

I lived right by there for 10 years, walked through it to sainsbury's most days, walked through it for drop off pick up of kids at nursery every day.

It's well kept, has community spirit and is quiet.


Ignore unlurked, (s)he's an idiot.


Even the Fox on the Hill isn't especially bad, just your typical Wetherspoon's really, good beer, great prices, zero atmosphere.


Oriwu spot went to the great pub co in the sky, now nice flats (with zero storage by the looks)

I'm buying one of those flats actually! Storage isn't too bad.

Good luck, it's a nice secluded spot, the nursery have put in a wonderful garden in what was scrubland littered with dog poo and broken bottles just behind the flats, and have nice community events there.

When I got stuck in the snow at the bottom of the hill residents came out and helped push me out.

Lovely spot frankly.

The Estate is a nice place to live in most of the people have bought their properties, and are hard working. I do not live on the estate, but on the Sunray estate, but have seen the change, which is so clear. Whichever area you plan to live in has it's elements whether it be good or bad, but you have to live in it to experience and cope with it.


My son was mugged in Dulwich village on a Sunday inbroad daylight on a summer's day while with his friends, this happens unfortunatly whereever you are, as it it is the sign of the times of wanton greed.


You will enjoy living there, and the facilities around the area are so abundant you will never want to leave.


Thanks

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
