Really? All the streets on both sides of the staion on that side of the road are SE22? Peckham and ED border each other so clearly some parts of Peckham are very close to ED and the station is on the border but I still think its in Dulwich. Bellenden Road (while much nicer than many parts of ED) is definitely in Peckham, and ain't nothing wrong with that!

When I was a kid I used to walk down Fellbrigg to school. In those days it was Dog Poo Road, it seemed to have a disproportionate amount of dog poo all over the place. Much of which was white.



I've always liked Barry and Friern Roads.

I find Melbourne Grove a bit dark and dank for some reason (residential part). Woodwarde, Dovercourt and Beauville are all very lovely with a great betwixt park and ED proper location but the people....sheeesh... I reckon they all wear salmon cords and force their kids to learn the violin.

That's interesting.


If you imagine folk from the Friern settlement (by Dulwich Library) going to church at St Giles (Act of Conformity and all that) they would walk along the left-hand upright of the "H" of the original East Dulwich road pattern.


But instead of a straight line from where Melbourne Grove joins Lordship Lane they would continue north along Lordship Lane and around Grove Vale before resuming the straight line to church.


The sparse evidence points to a natural drainage problem.

I like South Central Dulwich (ie resi roads south of Iceland). From Rodwell / Landcorft Rd area you are within a 10 min walk of everything: Dulwich Park, the station, everything on the high street, the gym, Peckham Rye park, and a few of the good schools.

      Surely the main issue for Dulwich Village is their retail offer, like most of Dulwich Village,  is desperately dull and a bit basic.  Not really worth anyone from outside of Dulwich Village travelling for.

      It's a case of who blinks first.  But  purchasers who do this will lose all good will form the owner and will probably suffer aife changing accident as the Gods won't be smiling on them.

      well - that is disappointing. We know the impact of foreign buyers on the housing market.

      I much prefer Romeo Jones to >spit< Gail's, but I'm struggling to blame this on the LTN when nothing outside Romeo Jones has changed, the LTN came in 5 (!!!) years ago, and Gail's has queues out the door most days. It also is directly opposite Rocca (which serves coffee and has seating), next door to Porters (which serves coffee and has seating), a few doors along from Real Greek (which serves coffee and has seating), and diagonally across from Gail's (which serves coffee and sells baked goods and has seating). I'll be sorry to see Romeo Jones go (not least because I have a stack of stamped loyalty cards). I don't want to criticise small business owners because it's a tough old racket, but DVillage never really seemed to find its niche either as a proper deli (like La Gastronomia or The Sicilian in West Dulwich) or as a coffee shop (which is difficult when you have Megan's and Redemption right next to you, and Au Ciel around the corner).
