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....

    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them 
    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.
