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!

As Peckhamgatecrasher so rightly says, Rose in Grace and Favour is rather lovely and also makes a mean cup of tea. However, it's best to catch her on a good day, she can be rather temperamental. She also has probably the best emporium in ED.

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.

      Royal Mail Late Deliveries and the price we have to pay

      By another annie · Posted

      Thanks  for the reminder nellie, heading down to Highshore Road tomorrow to see if there's anything for us. I'm getting obsessive about missing/late arriving bills since having our phone and broadband cut off when we hadn't received (so hadn't paid) a bill from BT that had been posted to us. I now keep a note in my diary of when the various utility bills are expected, and phoning them when I think something is due, invariably they say the bill has been sent out. It shouldn't be so hard.

      Party wall dispute - what now?

      By KateS · Posted

      He’ll need to apply to building control if he’s removing a chimney breast, as that has to be signed off once the work is done. Make sure the joists for your floor are extended to full width of the room once the chimney breast is removed. Ours weren’t (by the previous owner when they removed the chimney breast in the kitchen) and the floor above was dipping by a few inches.

      Party wall dispute - what now?

      By Moovart · Posted

      Chimney breast removal definitely requires party wall agreement and if yours above is not being removed it will require steels to support the chimney breast above.  You should consult your own party wall surveyor and serve notices on your neighbour and they will be liable for the cost of your surveyor.  Also worth contacting the southwark building regs inspector for advice as removing a load bearing wall also requires steels to support the walls above and will require building regs. Has your neighbour shown you the plans to show how they are going to support your walls above?

      Party wall dispute - what now?

      By Kai_63 · Posted

      I live in a flat. My downstairs neighbour is having various work done including: Chimney breast removal (mine would stay) Internal wall removal (it's a supporting wall and mine is above) Knocking down of external walls that support mine and adding extension. He says his surveyor said this doesn't need a party wall survey because we don't share any party walls. Three surveyors I spoke to said the chimney breasts at a minimum do (party structure). Is there specific law I can quote on this? And if not, what do I do next? (Flats are leasehold, he has permission from them for external work, not sure about internal). He doesn't have council planning consent for the chimney or internal walls.
