A few years back some lovely work was done at the East Dulwich station forecourt, with new paving and lights set into an arc along the walkway. Yesterday evening, returning home after a late dinner, I noted -- the lights are not on!


Is this very attractive feature no longer being maintained? Is it the stationmaster's remit, or the council's? Can it be restored or repaired?


Hoping, frankly, that it was a one-off, with someone forgetting to flick the appropriate switch on leaving for the day...

Hi Alex K,

East dulwich councillors have allocated ?10,000 from our Cleaner, Green, Safer capital pot to provide great lighting there. Its due to complete during October.


The floor lighting you're talknig about was isntalled about 8-10 years ago. It was never handed over to the council lighting people and didnt have a seperate maintenance plan. Floor lights are especially prone to problems having to take weight and harder ot keep dry.

Without trying to sound overly critical but what an epic waste of money that was then - knowing how things work, there was months if not years of planning, it was designed and fitted and then no one bothers to maintain it because it "wasn't handed over" Surely you can get it handed over and maintained instead of just having them lie dormant and useless?

      its based on the income  the [to be x] freeholder will lose - ie the ground rent and any service charges. Unless D Estate follows different laws to everybody else.

      Purchasing Freehold from Dulwich Estate?

      By the fruity dj · Posted

      Hi everyone. I’m currently in the process of buying a house on the Dulwich Estate with ~86 years left on the lease. I’ve found it quite hard to get clear information online about the realistic cost of buying the freehold from the Dulwich Estate. I was wondering if anyone here has experience dealing with the Dulwich Estate and, if so, roughly how much it cost to purchase the freehold. I know it will vary depending on the property, but even a ballpark figure would be really helpful so we can decide whether the purchase makes sense for us. Thanks very much in advance.

      Victorian gas outlet??? Any advice?

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      It looks like a tap for the gas lighting that used to be found in those homes. The little tap would regulate the flow of gas to give a brighter or dimmer lamp. It's probably not part of any gas feed now and you can check that for yourself by following the gas pipework from your meter (which should only run to the kitchen to supply a boiler and cooker). Next time you have your boiler serviced, ask the engineer to have a look for you.

      Fabulous Electrician Paul Edgley

      By George Wilson · Posted

      Another strong recommendation from me from Peckham Rye area. Paul sent Damian to sort out our tripping sockets. We’d had another electrician come and try to fix it a couple of weeks earlier who was not good, but Damian was extremely thorough and methodical in diagnosing the issue and fixing it. He tested every socket to make sure the problem was sorted. He arrived bang on time and talked me through exactly what he was finding and how the problem had likely come about as he went. Very polite, friendly and excellent value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we need an electrician. Great team,  great service!
