Hi guys, my name is Mike and I'm a fellow Londoner researching East Dulwich. me and my wifey are looking for a better place. I talk to my friend who works in real Estate and he really praised the way East Dulwich is developing. From what he told us, it really seems like a perfect place for me and Jo! That's why I decided to join ya on this forum and do a bit of research before making the final decision :) Really glad to be here:)

WIFEY ?


Oh Mikey, Mikey, Mikey.


You'll have to do better than that to join East Dulwich. I mean there's ladies who'd wrestle you to the floor and gouge your eyes out if they heard that round here.


Where did you live before, Putney or some other heinous mallach back water like it.


Now, a question.


Are you prepared to queue for the butcher shop.


NETTE:-S

Welcome to the forum Mike. Do you or your wife drive and own a car as if so parking can be an absolute nightmare in East Dulwich. Depends which road you move to, but if directly off Lordship Lane then be prepared to drive around in circles trying to a find a space remotely near your front door!

The only other thing is house prices are really expensive for the size they are, we saw one half house off Lordship Lane and there literally was half a bath! Plus if you want a decent sized garden you can forget it! Obviously there will be a few exceptions but the majority we saw when viewing were teeny. It all depends what you are after though as neither of those things may be important to you or your wife.

I can't think of any other negative reasons not to live in E Dulwich, lots of shops, restaurants, pubs, great wknd market plus Dulwich Park which is lovely. Happy house hunting:))

Good advice everyone, I'm writing it all down as we speak. It's just the entire housing thing is tricky, when you're young and inexperiences in the ways of a hunter:)


And no, the closest Waitrose is a couple of miles away (3.5 i guess). Not exactly a walking distance... And since we dont own a car, there's not much waitrosing for us :/. We manage though. I know it's hard to believe, but one can survive without a Waitrose :D


And thanks, but I'm really not convinced by West Nortwood :D

West norwood trains go to Clapham Junction- a plus for Victoria/ Waterloo/ Westfield.

Quick bus to Brixton tube.

Tesco and Sainsburys

B and Q plus very good indie decorating shop

Blackbird bakery

Lovely cemetary

Superdrug

Lots of places to get things mended/ keys cut/ shoes rehealed

Its so much cheaper than SE22

But I know what you mean about some of the shops.

    • Their food is lovely, but unfortunately the waiting time for it is sometimes so long, even when they don't seem particularly busy, that we no longer go there. We used to just accept it, but seeing people who came in long after us getting their food before us was the last straw after we had waited well over half an hour, if memory serves. It might have been nearly an hour, but I can't remember exactly, it was a while ago. We paid for our drinks (which had come quite quickly) and went to have lunch elsewhere. We reckoned we would get our food quicker that way. We were very  hungry by this time! It's a shame, because we would like to support them as they are a small local business with great food, but there seems to be some problem on the kitchen side (we were assured that our order had been given to the kitchen as soon as we made it - we asked earlier, as we thought maybe it had been forgotten, but no).
    • This is a bit niche 🤣 I like  Kargs cheese and pumpkin seed crispbread, but it's quite expensive even when it's on offer. So when M&S started their own brand,  I used to buy that sometimes. It was different from Kargs, but ok. Then it disappeared from the shelves for ages. I assumed this was due to the supply problems after M&S  were hacked into. So I was quite pleased recently to see it had returned. But it now tastes revolting (in my opinion). I have no idea what was in it before, as I had no reason to look, but on checking the ingredient list now,  the second after wheat flour  is cornflour (?!), and it's also got palm fat, rapeseed oil, cheese powder and potato starch. And some other stuff. Plus some  actual cheese. I can't find anything online to say the recipe was  changed, so maybe my taste buds have suddenly become more sensitive, but after reading this, I'm appalled M&S are selling this rubbish. Has anyone else noticed any changes? I'm assuming they waited some time so customers would have used up what they had and couldn't make a direct comparison, but that might be a hideous slur (if so, apologies to M&S). Kargs use sunflower oil, and have  none of these other weird ingredients. I shall be gritting my teeth and buying only Kargs from now on. Disclaimer 1 : I don't have any shares in Kargs. I wish I did, I might get a discount! Disclaimer 2:  Yes I have many better things to do with my time than post on here moaning about crispbread, but I am having a tea break (just preempting another attack from those people who haven't got better things to do with THEIR  time than post on here to randomly attack other posters for no apparent reason).
    • There is the Blue Brick Cafe for vegetarian food too.
