we've lived here for 8 years now, it's lovely. We were also told not to live north of the railway (by a Bellenden Road snob) - but we were also told that this was 'the 2nd best road in Peckham'! Never found out what the best road was . . . It's a great road, apparently built as a show road in the 1860s so lots of different styles of houses, the road is wider than usual, and some very long gardens. Loads of buses just down on the Peckham Rd, Peckham Rye (and Denmark Hill, which isn't that much further) very good, and will be getting the Overground in December. Close to shops and pubs on and around Bellenden. Rye lLane is a practical, if not beautiful, place to shop, I like that I can walk in less than 10 mins to a decent sized supermaket, Boots, Primark, Maothercare, WHSmiths, library, swimming pool. Very good if you have/are planning to have children.


Never seen or heard a tiger though . . .

Agree - we recently moved to crofton rd, just along from Denman and we love it. The transport is excellent as others have said. I agree with the Taper about being higher up the slope - closer to bellenden and Warwick gardens etc, but also a great view! You're in walking distance of lots of convenient areas, bellenden, rye lane, lordship lane and camberwell church street as well. Good luck with your decision!

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
