Denman Road - any views?

[LoisP]

Looking at property around Denman Road and wondered whether anyone had any views on the road and the area? Less safe north of Peckham Rye train line or ok? Transport still good? Any thoughts whatsoever are genuinely appreciated!

Thanks!

We have quite a friends who have lived there years and others who live just off their in Lyndhurst road and there is quite a buzzing arty proffessional community there. Also the journalist garden man who had a tiger or something in his garden I think.

LoisP - we live there. It's a great street and a great area.

Transport is mostly excellent (Peckham Rye is 5 minutes walk), depending where you want to go. There are loads of buses as well.

Denman's lovely. Very active community. And the area is brilliant. The higher you are up the slope the better though. Can get a bit tasty down near the Talfourd Place junction.

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!

Fab area! You are lucky!

We lived there (near the top end) for 8 years. Loved it. Miss it.

Just wanted to say thanks so much for taking the time to post! Your posts are really helpful! Hopefully I will see you all in the area soon! :)
