Eh? Where I lived, it was also a 10 minute walk (less by bus) from Denmark Hill. Plus had ED station even closer. Plus the 185, 40 and 176 buses.


I think that rather counts as better.

I'm bored on my commute home so I'll take the bait!


All those buses go to Camberwell too. You can get to London Bridge just as easily from Denmark Hill as ED station so it no advantage there.


The Denmark hill area of Camberwell is clearly way better connected than here. It's not even marginal.

Anyway - this was veering off course, no need to get into a slinging match.

My point was I just don't get it when ED people slag off camberwell - it just doesn't add up, it must be an inferiority complex (from the minority who do).


Most importantly, ED is great - love Franco manca, brick house, oddonos, burro e salvia etc - the same way I love bellenden rd, Peckham rye, Dulwich proper, Brixton, brockley market, addington sq, etc - SE London is going through a good moment.

I think some people (in ED and elsewhere)are snobs. What is cool and edgy to you just feels like too many poor people and tat to them.


Of course that's a gross generalisation because there are leafy bits of Camberwell and plenty of people with money live there too. However, if you honestly want to know why some people slag the area off, that's why.

I love Camberwell. I've lived here now for several years. I lived in ED for many years before I moved here. Now I have the best of both worlds. I wouldn't dream of living anywhere else. 5 mins to the amazing food choices and transport links in Camberwell (a choice of trains to 4 or 5 central stations and at least 5 buses into town is hardly tricky) & 10 mins to the very different and very lovely choices in ED. I've lived all over London in my time and these 2 areas are by far the best.


Lovely night tonight at Yama Momo and then a coffee and drink at the French House (what lovely people work there?) Then 5 mins home.


What a bunch of miseries lurk here on the forum. They should move to Kentish Town and then see what they have to moan about.

LondonMix - ED and snobs? Surely that's an oxymoron... If you live in Mayfair, belgravia, the boltons, onslow sq etc, you can be a snob. But in ED? That'd warrant medical treatment. The only places around here that could (at a stretch) warrant a bit of snobbery are camberwell grove and maybe some houses in dulwich village.


Anyway, nuff of this nonsense.


Let's all go back to enjoying cool SE London.

I agree with that. I love the Crooked Well. Its probably my favorite gastropub in London.


People are and can be snobby about anything- Peckham Rye vs. East Dulwich, the South End vs the North End of Lordship Lane; one local school vs another local school?


Snobbery has no logical limits.


Don?t worry about what people think about your neighbourhood. As long as you're happy and it works for you and your family who cares. People slag off every area including ED and South Kensington (though for different reasons of course).

Oh behave...maybe Camberwell people are a just a tiny winy bit defensive...I can't see much snobiness on this thread?


In my experience loads of SE22 people (including me) have lived in Camberwell too.


I love Camberwell. I spent 15 years there - it has always been much funkier than SE22 ALWAYs. It has generally bigger houses in the posh bits it has marginally better transport links (but to call them amazing is a bit OTT Come on!!). It's recentish food rennaissance is great.


But with a young family rather than a younger single/couple give me slightly more sedate, slighly more school choice and a bit further out SE22.

I could have written this myself. Totally agree.

I think Camberwell used to be a lot rough when I was a kid, but for years it's been a pretty cool place.


But unless you're close to Denmark Hill (which a lot of Camberwell isn't) then I'd disagree that transport is particularly good.

      There is no Dulwich Square.  It’s a roadblock.

      You haven’t answered the question… who has been pressuring the emergency services and how exactly? We all know the answer of course.. no one. As for anyone driving through Dulwich Square without realising that they’re not meant to - well they should t be behind a wheel at all frankly. I have no idea what the ‘far left’ has to do with Dulwich LTN either 😂

      But you have to assess whether these persistent drivers are creating more safety issues than diverting emergency vehicles on a longer route and clearly they are not. The fact members of the pro-closure lobby have built their argument on this actually shows how desperate, some would say selfish, they are to have the junction closed and just the way they want it. And unfortunately they seem to have the council over a barrel on something as the council weakly concedes to their position without hesitation. Was this not borne from an FOI that said one of the emergency services confirmed that they had not been consulted on the new DV design that Cllr Leeming then said was actually a mistake by the emergency services - and then it's a case of whether you believe Cllr Leeming or not....and his track record is hardly unblemished when it comes to all things LTNs? Exactly! When the "small vocal minority" was given a mouthpiece that proved it was anything other than small then some have repeatedly tried to discredit the mouthpiece.  The far-left has never been very good at accountability and One Dulwich is forcing our local councillors and council to be accountable to constituents and it wouldn't surprise me if the council are behind a lot of the depositioning activities as One Dulwich is stopping them from getting CPZs rolled out and must be seen as a huge thorn in the side of the idealogical plan they have. Southwark Labour has a long track record of trying to stifle constituents with a view that differs from theirs (see Cllr Leo Pollack for one example) or depositioning anyone trying to represent them (see Cllr Williams during the infamous Cllr Rose "mansplaining" episode. But you know, some think it's One Dulwich that are the greatest threat to local democracy and should not be trusted! 😉
