Can no longer justify the rent I'm required to pay for a one bedroom flat here in beautiful dulwich, so am hitting the road.


where is nicer(greener, community feel, nice shops):

Catford: forest hill: sydenham: crystal palace?


Where is cheaper (rent-wise)?


Plus any suggestions you may have of areas. want to stay using the oyster(bus/tube), so not trains.


cheers

Out of those I'd say that Crystal Palace is the nicest, and has the biggest "town centre" with pubs, restaurants, etc. If I was looking for a slightly cheaper area, that would be my choice. Catford really isn't great IMO.


If you want to stay close to ED then Honor Oak and Nunhead are nearby. Nunhead seems to be more "up-and-coming", but I think Honor Oak is more pleasant. The Denmark Hill part of Camberwell is really nice too, but probably only very slightly cheaper than ED.

    • I hope it's ok to use this thread to ask for advice on a separate issue in relation to TJ Medical Practice. A friend of mine who is registered there has recently been diagnosed with a serious long-term condition. He has been struggling to find a good GP at the practice since the departure of Dr Love and I said I would try to find out which of the remaining GPs other patients have found most capable and sympathetic - particularly for the scenario of overseeing ongoing care for a long-term progressive illness. Is there any particular GP that people would recommend?  Very many thanks.
    • I,m not a fan of Gales; but a lot of food serving premises open on Xmas day , so not unusual, worked in catering for nearly 40 years and staff usually get extra pay… My niece who is in her last year of college & wants to go travelling next summer, is waitressing in a restaurant near where she lives on Xmas day & Boxing Day for £20 per hour to boost her travelling fund. Back in the day I worked New Year’s Day 2000, & had my pay bumped to £50 per hour, happy days (wasn’t forced I volunteered)
    • Hardly strange; arcane perhaps. It used to be a common practice in many towns for the swings, roundabouts etc in parks to be chained up by the council on Sundays, so that they didn’t provide a source of reckless pleasure on the sabbath. The outrage that a cake shop should open on Christmas Day reminded me of this. The policy had pretty much died out in England and Wales by the 70’s but is still in force in parts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
    • I would be interested to learn if Gail's hike their prices on Christmas day. I don't go to Gail's (as I prefer Christophers on HM Lane) but if anyone does go and detects a bit of price gouging, please let us all know.
