A recession perhaps? cash in quickly while enough people prepared to still take a chance.


if that is the case - which of ED's businesses will be most vulnerable to a recession?


High end baby clothes? Smart cooking equipment? Or are the many eateries at risk?

Sorry Nero, but I have to stand up for that parade of shops. The 'Supermarket' is run by a decent bloke who sells just about everything you would ever need. The picture framing shop has also proved very helpful to us with advice and decent service, and I think the Peruvians who run the dry cleaners are great as well. Kids and parents seem to enjoy the ceramic painting cafe at the end too, so all in all it could be a great deal worse (thinking Forest Hill Road).

I have raised this question before. I think the consensus was that East Dulwich would not have a recession.

Yes I think that the parade on ED Road is safe - it services the immediate needs of the immediate population and they do that well, Altima Court has 70+ flats just opposite (including mine) and that should help keep things going.


The Green just had a bad rep and restaurants with a bad rep will not survive in ED.


Karter has given us an insight into the specific issues with the cafe. Perhaps a new owner will bring back its success?

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
