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.

This sounds promising, thanks John ? could you please give your evidence, or a link to it?

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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
