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).

    • Anywhere inner London 😷 Is just overpriced. Why would you want to live here when there are options to move out a bit further where it’s greener and overall nicer?

    • Amazingly I found her after she heard me calling for her at around 9:30pm last night, took quite a lot of coaxing (and the help of a number of super kind neighbours - thank you flowers in coming!) but managed to grab her off a shed. So thrilled. She was only around two blocks away, on the far end of where Silvester meets Landcroft.  She's a bit freaked out, hungry and exhausted. But safe!!  That night I had honestly nearly lost hope, I just went for a final walk just to put my mind at ease. Anyone who is missing a pet, it's horrific. Just trust your gut, you know your pet better than anyone.  All posters being remove, and comms being updated this morning. Thank you all for your patience! I know little Gigi (see picture) is still missing from Heber Road. Praying she is found soon! Do check the post to see if you can help.
