A lovely thread! It's inspired me to remember - and value - everything I love about ED, and why I've lived here for over 20 years! And in no particular order, here's a few: The fact that I can walk to five parks from where I live; the library and staff on Barry Road; spring and autumn in Dulwich Park; the fact that my garden overlooks lots of other gardens; the people who run the Greetings Shop who, true to their shop name, always find the time to greet you and have a chat; the friendly stallholders on North Cross Road market; breakfast at the Blue Mountain and baguettes at the French place on LL (name escapes me); the greengrocers on North Cross Road; the Cheeseblock and all that's in it; SMBS for inevitably getting me out of tight spots hours before a dinner party (with a special word for the lovely Amit but I won't divulge it here); Tam at Village Way Hairdressersfor a great service (he always seems to know when a head massage would come in handy...); the buzz around LL; the fact that ED has a mixed community which seems to gel well and where I feel at home!

Kudos on the threads so far - the fact that such a topic on this wonderful forum exists says it all about ED really.


Apart from those already listed, I love the fact that friends/family who come to visit are blown away by the place. Makes me proud to live here.


Also, Clarence in the Bishop always brings a smile to my face. And I have to second the earlier point about the friendly staff there.

Dry Cleaners near the station - Mustafa is the friendliest man on earth

Mirash Tandoori for takeaways

Pizzas at the Gowlett, New Year at the Gowlett

Franklins for great food

The friendly newsagent (with the hearing aid) on the corner of Melbourne Grove nr the station

John Alan flowers

Mon Petit Chou for friendly service

Paine & Hunter opticians


The list goes on really....

    • I give away a lot of cuttings but always short of the above, any ideas please? 
    • Ash tree branch. Before speculating as to cause and whether it was deliberate or not, it’s worth remembering that there is ash dieback around. Also tree branches fall off without warning, especially if there’s internal rot or disease which is not outwardly apparent. And yes, there are regular checks done on the health of the trees in the Wood. 
    • Dulwich folk well particularly ED folk have more money than certainly me - £4.00 for bread and butter? That is outrageous and I certainly would not pay £30 for an organic chicken - weird one is pate and runner beans combo. Don’t think butcher on Lordship Lane charges that but each to their own - live in Devon now and no way is an organic chicken that price!!
    • I was sitting on the park bench yesterday opposite north Dulwich station and found an Apple Watch hanging off the corner. I have brought it home and charged it hoping that someone might use ‘find my’ to locate it. Equally happy to be contacted this way to return it to the rightful lender / they just need to say what colour/kind of strap it has. If you can think of a better way to return it / find its owner then please advise. And/or feel free to share on other local fora.
