Favourite street in East Dulwich?

[Green]

Oh it's my pleasure redjam

[????]

Fellbrigg for me too :)

[LondonMix]

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!

Silvester Road will always be my favourite, followed by Oakhurst Grove.

Known them both , woman and girl for 50 years.

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.

Rodwell and Dovedale - I lived on both for many years. My great grandparents, grandparents and my parents and I lived on Rodwell from 1890 until 1993.

Don't get me started about the (shh) "wrong end". I.E. anything south of Iceland.

Nutfield

Chesterfield Grove or Melbourne Grove

[MrBen]

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.

You mean the Dulwich end rather than the Peckham end edcam

[RosieH]

I like Bonar Road.

It's not in East Dulwich, but I like it.

[LondonMix]

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.

Landcroft obviously
