I was walking along Lordship lane today when I fainted and hit my head on the ground (I am okay now if slightly concussed!). One lady managed to grab my rucksack and stop me hitting the ground so hard. Someone else rushed to get me a cup of water from a cafe, a passing nurse also stopped and checked I was okay and finally another very kind lady drove me home.


I just wanted to say I felt so touched and if any of them are reading this then thank you so much, it makes me very happy to know I live in such a caring and nice area :-)

Hi Mokoglides, hope you are ok now, get along to the doctor just to confirm all is ok, if you have not already done so. The ED community are lovely, and we we are very unique in the sense, that we do look out for each other. We are very blessed, and the East Dulwich Forum, is a fantastic platform for our sense of community.

Thanks ED Forum :)-D

We have lived here for 4 months and whilst have not needed rescuing from fainting on Lordship Lane, we have been struck by how friendly everyone is here. Friends had commented on the sense of community before we moved in and it has proved to be a happy place to be. It is great to walk down Lordship Lane (particularly on a sunny spring day) and see how many people smile and say hi. We are definite ED-converts! Here's to more sunny days, the advent of summer and glasses of winr outside at all these new bars opening up (irrespective of the merits of their new names!)

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.     
    • Some of us oldies would associate Grove with the old Grove Vale School (which I went to in the 1950s)
