The reason this thread has turned into name calling and ranting is because of Tiger Ranks comment - "who would think that of the new dulwich what will all the POSH TOFFS THINK".


What s/he has written is true and obviously the 'posh toffs' have taken offence. I have lived in East Dulwich for 32 years and believe me it's certainly the people that make it a pompus place to live. I recently found out that Lordship Lane is now known as 'The Lane' and if you live on Melbourne Grove you are known as referrred to as a 'Melbourne Grover' WTF.


No matter where you live there are criminal offences taking place East Duwlich, Peckham, Kensignton & Chelsea everywhere!!! I for one cannot wait to move out of East Dulwich - it has changed for the worse.

Clio731 - what a load of old bollox.

If people have their own ways of labelling things like streets or folks who live on streets it really is no big deal - it certainly doesn't mean you or anyone else is under pressure to subscribe to the same terminology !

I've heard the 'Grover' expression with other streets (groves) and it's more a play on 'Groover' than anything else, not something specific to East Dulwich.

We'd all love Dave The Butcher back (he'd fit in a treat I reckon) but those days are gone.

Sounds like you've got a right chip on your shoulder about the change in demographic (but perhaps not about increase in your property value, no - hold on, you sound poor, so it won't apply to you).

    • Does anyone know what happened to the lovely willow tree on the rye? 
    • Long shot, but I don’t suppose anyone has a Sticklinch car parking ticket that they don’t need for Glastonbury? Or could switch with my general parking ticket at all? Thanks!
    • Many years ago, our neighbours were in a Southwark rented property. Both flats in house had access to a shared garden which was fenced off part way with each flat having their own piece of land. The front garden was shared and since both flats had young children, they put up a fence and gate between front door and pavement. Nothing was said by the council and even though those neighbours are now living else where, the fence and gate still remain and Southwark owns the freehold.
    • If you can use it exclusively for yourself for 12 years it might become yours by default under squatters rights? Maybe whack a bench on it and plant some flowers and then a little hedge around the perimeter to keep people out? I'm not sure if any of this is legal but it might be fun finding out?
