Tucked between the top end of Landells Road and Plough Lane is East Dulwich's quirkiest house. It's a narrow, detached* house that looks like it is sticking out of the back of Le Moulin restaurant. I guess few people even realise it is there. It seems to be an original Victorian house, and was derelict last year but clearly somebody bought it and has been doing it up. Anyone know anything about its history?


* as far as I can tell craning my neck over the fence.

Err, definitely not, I would NEVER redecorate my house like that, looks quite ridiculous, mind you isn't the phrase 'no accounting for taste'?? >:D<

Trinity, you and I obviously have EXQUISITE taste sweetie darlin wot wot wot. Unless they have painted the house pink pebble dash, put up lace nets, and installed 10 satellite dishes in the past week, then Pearcesa you have definitely seen the wrong house.

I sure do, although I don't think that is necessarily a good thing .. ! ;-)


The owners two 'yappy dogs' have not engraciated themselves with a number of the neighbours either!


Anyway, as long as the owners of No.5 are happy with the renovations - I guess that's all that matters! ;-)

      The Mansion Tax

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!

      I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
