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.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
