Hi Serena


I lived on Copleston Road for a while in 2009 (my friend still does) and never had problems parking - usually managed to park right outside our door. Good road, no complaints! And you can't beat Peckham Rye for train links, plus East Dulwich station is also within easy reach - all good!

I have lived on Copleston road SE15 my whole life (i will not enclose how long that is!) and i assure you mr edhistory that SE15 is most definitely Peckham no matter what some snobby estate agent has told you, it always has been, check your history..sorry too tempting! I am immensely proud to be from Peckham and hate the new lingo that has arrived with the buggys and stupid shops that sell nothing of any use to any one, i have even had letters addressed to 'Bellenden Village' arrrggg makes me furious, along with many comments which turn up on this forum! But for the OP i love Copleston and find it not only useful for travel but quiet and there is also a strong sense of community i know all my neighbours and have helped each other hugely over the years. It IS Peckham and its also lovely!!! Welcome to the road. xxx

Ms B, I'm not sure that's necessarily true or particularly helpful. I think I have seen one mention on the forum in connection with a mugging, but personally have had 5 years of walking up and down that road virtually every day without a single negative experience. Can we stick to facts please? It's a pleasant enough road, with moderately heavy traffic (due to the one way system), moderately heavy parking (due to the number of flats) and probably a bit of railway noise on the side that backs onto the line. It's in a nice area, and well located for both local stations, Sainsburys, Lordship Lane, Bellenden Rd and fairly close to Goose Green and Peckham Rye for some green space and kids playgrounds.

the traffic does depend on which end you are looking at I live at the 'peckham end' and it is a dead end and therefore very quiet. The church this end (the Copleston centre) is also useful with many things such as yoga, childcare, youth club and soup clubs along with regular events. I have not yet heard of a mugging on this road, however this isnt a impossibility all I can say is that i have never driven so have walked home after work or drinking everyday for 20 something years and have never had a problem and as the road is well lit and with friendly neighbours i feel safe.

It's a nice street. I live there, and quite happily tell people I live in Peckham Rye; SE15 = NOT East Dulwich! Mind you, if you cross the railway tracks (over the bridge on Avondale Rise) you'll start hearing residents tell you you're in Camberwell... :)


Never had any trouble round here, and our neighbours are all lovely.

I have lived on the road for 6 years now and love that it is slap bang in the middle of East Dulwich and Peckham High Street, awhilst Bellenden Road is a 2 minute down Choumert Road.


I have always referred to it as Peckham, which according to Southwark council it actually is. And if not, then where the hell is it?!

I've lived on Copleston for 7 years and love it. As people have said - near East Dulwich and Peckham Rye stations (And P Rye will connect to Overground end of 2012) so it's well placed for transport, lots of buses (and some are 24 hour) so only a short walk home from near ED station. Sainsburys isn't far, Lordship Lane very close. It feels like East Dulwich but SE15 is Peckham, you will actually find one end is SE22 (ED), middle is SE15 (Peckham) and just off is SE5 (Camberwell). Parking is always available but just not always outside your house (at least it's free and not residents permits yet.)

East Dulwich has got better and better over the years and Copleston has been mentioned as a "desirable road" in decent newspapers so I'd say go for it!

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Insuflo · Posted

      So, private polling for Labour in London puts Labour and the Lib Dems with the same number of seats on Southwark Council come May. It’s not clear from this Guardian article (link below) if that will be all due to Labour losses or if the Lib Dems will actually make some gains in Southwark. Either way, the Greens are set for a massive surge in seats across London, if the polling is correct. Labour urged to listen to progressive voters or face ‘political earthquake’ in London | Labour | The Guardian

      Be careful on the pavements...

      I shouted at someone who pushed by me on the tube last week, as they got off I said your could least say "excuse me". Somebody told me "they did".  Whoops, humble pie. I have no idea whether the original poster overreacted. I have done far too many times, and try (or should try harder) to learn from this, and do regret not handling things better/calmer.  I expect most of have similar 'guilty' secrets. There's a separate thread on why, being British, we apologise when it is not our fault, or when we simply want to get past someone.  Excuse me (and/or thank you when they move out of your way) is appropriate.  Even people who you wouldn't fancy meeting on a dark alley do this.  And I apologise for being so judgmental, I couldn't find the right words.   (if you remember this ad you may be considered by some to be old)

      Electrician recommendation: Electrical Initiative Ltd

      By SE Londoner · Posted

      Leon came to do a full electrical check and sort out some problem lights yesterday. He came on time, was very polite and friendly and was a pleasure to do business with. He didn’t laugh at me when one of the problems was very badly designed lights (even if they look great) where the bulbs needed to be changed. He’ll probably get years of repeat business from these lights. His rates are very reasonable and I don’t hesitate to recommend him. p.s I found him on this forum but have only just joined, specifically to leave Leon a review.

      I hope you have sought medical attention as well.  You should have antibiotics as well, as someone else has said. You could get sepsis too.
