Apparently the website of choice right now is zoopla, for the mortgage industry use it to find real values of houses. It's quite interesting, and don't forget you can refine their estimate.


What dear Alan fails to mention is the cluster of expensive properties in Camberwell are sheltered from the rot that is the main bit of Camberwell. Most of us avoid it at all costs. And the other cluster is near Myatts Fields, which is a community desperately trying to call itself 'east Kennington' or Oval or 'anything but Camberwell'.


Do zoopla your own house value, it's marvelous!

Maybe prospective buyers were put off by the 'Alice in Wonderland' decor/theme! lol :))

im always surprised when people here complain about camberwell (maybe i shouldnt, its the east dulwich forum :-)


comparing east dulwich with camberwell is like comparing fulham with belgravia - the architecture and centrality of the latters are in a different league..


true, camberwell green is a bit shit, but wait until late next year when the multi-million redevelopment of the entire area is finished..and camberwell church street is fast becoming quite cool (crooked well, hill bakery, theo's pizzeria, daily goods, angel & gypsies, storm, camberwell arms, silk road, mike & ollie etc etc).


Anyway, i quite like east dulwich too - great bread and ice cream! - but comparing ED and camberwell is comparing apples with oranges.

Horses for courses. I love Georgian architecture but would never live in a Georgian townhouse. The shallow footprint is great for creating a lovely sense of light but to get the same square footage as a Victorian terrace you need to be spread across far too many levels.


Victorian London for me :)


Dulwich is more of a family area with great parks and children's amenities as well as good restaurants, pubs, bars etc. Camberwell is more urban and feels more like central London, which is fine if that's what you are looking for.

Amazing Transport links???? - must have changed a lot in from the 15 years or so I lived there. I loved Camberwell when I was young and didn't have kids...still not sure why any person under 30 lives in SE22 over SE5 if I am honest but i wouldn't go back now to live but do for a bite or, of course, the Hermits

Transport in Camberwell is, in my opinion, terrible. I couldn't live anywhere without a train or tube (yes I know it has Denmark Hill, but the line is not particularly convenient, and it is quite a walk away from Camberwell proper).


Some people seem to like buses, but I hate them. The unpredictable journey time, the unscheduled change of destination, switching drivers, etc. No... not for me.

Camberwell transport links.


I live 10 mins walk from Denmark hill, from where I get regular trains to Clapham, Victoria, Blackfriars, the city, St Pancras, Canada Water, shoreditch.


If this is not great, I'm not sure what is.


Plus thameslink will de facto deliver a new tube line + bakerloo line is looking promising.

    • Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl… 
    • I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.
    • I have Plusnet too.   I recently (August) had some problems with WiFi connection on different days but and the turning off and turning on didn’t work.  The WiFi didn’t work for quite a few hours - overnight in one case but eventually rectified itself.   Would be interested to know how much other people pay for Plusnet. I also have a landline with them as the mobile signal is bad inside house.  That is with EE and I want to change from them to another provider.
    • That's terrible 🤬 Was it the same company both times?
