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.

      Post Office Lordship Lane is Broken

      By sjsl · Posted

      It's such an uneven provision, I live just west of E Dulwich towards Herne Hill/Dulwich Village and there are four Post Office counters within 10 mins walk max. They are all in local shops and provide a great service.

      DRJ Builders - Highly recommended!

      By GDG · Posted

      Wanted to come on and do a review for DRJ Builders as I know how hard it is to find good quality and reliable builders in the area! David O'Brien and DRJ Builders are more than that - they are an absolutely brilliant building firm who we can highly recommend. We used them to do a side return extension, loft extension and full house renovation in 2016. They did such a great job, we have just used them again to add on a new rear extension to the ground floor in 2025. David is great to work with from start to finish and has a fantastic team of tradespeople who always deliver a very high standard of work. Would highly recommend them. You can get David on 07960 938621.

      Post Office Lordship Lane is Broken

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      They do have other lockers where you can drop off parcels, as well as some shops who will take them. If you use the Royal Mail app, or website, you can also arrange for collection of parcels from your house. The service is actually pretty good (and a lot easier than going to the post office). There are a lack of Royal Mail lockers though. Would be good to get some more - perhaps one on North Cross road? They don't need to be outside the Post Office necessarilly.

      Where to recycle shoes & trainers please?

      By womanofdulwich · Posted

      In a similar  vein, are there any charity shops actually taking donations at the moment? ( after the usual post  Christmas chucking out phase, noone would take my things last week, they had too much already).
