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’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
