What I mean is the housing stock


Street after street of Victorian terraces/semi's. Like up in that Ivydale area etc


Of course they are priced accordingly


And have varying degrees of refinement


A bit like Earlsfield, which is terminally dull but hey, it's near Wandsworth

I rather like Nunhead for its unpretentious living environment. It's refreshing not seeing hoardes of chains in the area. And I don't care if there are hardly any restaurants in the area.


I actually feel sorry for Dulwich as the area is being over-commercialised to cater for the new influx of people who are either inept or have pigeon style view to planning.

Have a look at http://www.facebook.com/groups/211251488989675/ for the latest on The Ivy House

I used to live in Nunhead and really liked it. It is quiet and peaceful and if you want the shops/restaurants you are close enough to ED that you can walk. I liked Evelina road because it has that real local shop thing going on, you have a bakers, greengrocers, butchers, fishmongers (which is excellent) and even a lovely deli now all close together. There is also the new Dish and the Spoon cafe on Cheltenham Road which I haven't visited yet but is pitched at being very family friendly and sounds great. It does have the feeling that it is on the up I think.

Has this replaced the old greasy spoon at the far end of Cheltenham Road?

This side of Nunhead is very quiet and residential. As well as houses there are lots of purpose built Edwardian maisonettes (flats with own front door), which tend to have larger, better laid out floor plans than the standard house/flats conversion by builders. Definitely an area for the long term...

No - luckily NOT replaced the greasy spooner which is still there too!

DJW - if you're close to Nunhead green then you get all the food shops you need (butchers, bakers, greengrocers, delis etc). Old Nuns Head pub was taken over a few years back and is now good, does good food, does a mummies' morning etc. Similarly there's a mums and babies session at Nunhead library once a week.

Ivydale road is also walking distance to Crofton Park and the bars there. There are various toddler activities at Honor Oak Community Centre (eg baby gym). And you walking distance from Telegraph hill park, with chidlrens centre. And Skehans pub in the evenings....

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
