That?s just awful. Thoughts are with his friends and family.

Utterly horrendous. Junction of East Dulwich Grove and Lordship Lane (and a portion of Lordship Lane) is still closed.

[mrwb]

Awful, spoke to police this morning road could be closed all day.

Terrible news.

I was a bit taken aback to hear Andrew Castle on LBC this morning referring to ED as ?a rough area? where you ?really have to watch yourself? Maybe he?s right after this.

[Listen up]

Terrible news, I passed through there in a cab just minutes before, it was really quiet not many people out all, perhaps due to the rain. So shocke that could?ve happened so soon after.

I heard that too. He referenced it being near Camberwell and said something like ?you have to watch yourself down there? so I get the impression it was a bit of a generic ?south London?s dodgy? type comment rather than anything based on his knowledge / impressions of ED specifically.

Doesn?t he live in Dulwich or at least did live there

No I think he lived in Balham/Wandsworth. May still live there.

[hellosailor]

His kids went to alleyns so he was obviously ok with the risk of having them educated In such a rough area

Andrew castle is right it is a rough area nothing fancy, inbetween Peckham and Camberwell. only rich people consider it a posh area, its nothing special to everyone else.

ED is nothing like in between Peckham and Camberwell, they're both north of it. If anything we're between Herne Hill and Nunhead. Furthermore, it's nothing like a "rough" area - I've lived in some in South London, including Coldharbour Lane when the Yardies were in full control and shootings were commonplace, there's no comparison. Tragic events like this morning's just point up how rare they actually are in this neck of the woods, and there's no need for everyone to go overboard as they did on the (thankfully now deleted, good shout admin) other thread about this.

Hey snoopy17 - why such a miserable attitude to this place that most on this forum are pleased to call home and raise our children in? It's not a rough area (and not in-between Peckham and Camberwell - a quick check of google maps will tell you that). In the 24 years I've lived in ED, and the 60+ years ,my husband has been here it's never been 'rough' - London is becoming a brutal city to live in and this later incident is just a consequence of that. Im not rich (I wish!) but this area is very special to me, because it's my home. This is a forum for the people of ED, if you don't like the place and consider it nothing special then please feel free to go live somewhere 'special' instead - Im sure you and your miserable negative attitude would be warmly welcomed in some special place ... somewhere.

Someone got murdered last night. It?s a tragedy regardless of the surrounding circumstances.

Using that as a springboard for your venom is despicable.

Obvious troll is obvious. And stupid.

Lived in Camberwell, Sydenham, Forest Hill, Catford, in 'rougher times'. I romanticize about Brixton when it was front line. Loughborough Junction was about the worst. But never felt unsafe. Gone are the days of brawls outside of the pubs on a Friday or Saturday night. Hardly even get approached for drugs any more (last time was Deptford). Queuing for the 363 at the Elephant late evening can feel a bit tasty, but nobody is bothering me.

Feel more vulnerable in Bromley - more because it has a territorial feel, but probably just lads our for a few drinks and on the pull reminds me of the blood baths in Abingdon where I lived in the 80s on a Friday night.

Hopefully this is a sad and isolated incident. There's been shootings down the road and in Brockley but don't fear for my life when I go there. I've questioned the misuse of 'Blitz spirit' in terms of Brexit but events like this can bring communities together.

And much much better that my few weeks in Havering/Harold Wood. That was depressing.

[Romnarz]

I heard this on LBC - described ED as Camberwell - I think it?s a case of anywhere south of river ? hear be monsters ?

[Jules-and-Boo]

East Dulwich is hardly crime free or particularly safe. It's absolutely tragic that a young man lost his life but please....don't divert the attention this post needs.

It's really NOT about the debating the public perception of the area.

[DulwichFox]

Not many if not any places open around here at 02.30am

Not many people either I would of thought ??

[pinecone]

DulwichFox, there are at least two twenty-four hour shops on Lordship Lane. Quite often, if I'm up all night working, as I was last night, I'll wander down to one of them to get some snacks for a break.

[Parker82]

This thread just sums up why people think this forum is a joke and that most East Dulwich residents are a bunch of pretentious arseholes, a man has been brutally murdered for no reason. This man has a family which will be absolutely devastated and some of you are more concerned about a comment made by Andrew castle.

Picture on the Guardian article shows it right outside the 24 hour shop...

[KalamityKel]

If people are going to discuss this topic openly please be respectful for the grieving family. They are local and I'm sure would not appreciate the ins and out of the incident to be pulled apart and even, by some, made fun of.

[MrDude21]

My condolences go out the the mans family, it?s a real shame that this has happened.
