You mean this forum :)? I live in ED but I think Peckham Rye and ED are close enough together to think of the amenities of each being available to all residents hence why I commented. It's silly acting like people in ED don't go to Beggin' Bowl or that Peckham Rye residents don't come to Lordship Lane. I occasionally go to the Horniman Museum too in Forest Hill when I really feel like an adventure away!

Spot on Lndonmix... who gives a damn whether you live in SE22 or SE15, it's totally daft to try and compare one against the other, both areas are brilliant and offer a different vibe, but you can, of course, enjoy both...

it's not like you need a passport or anything to go from one to the other!!!!

Both Peckham and ED have their good points and their bad.......I don't think there's any merit is one claiming to be better than the other.


So that leaves things like vibe and community etc. In my experience of living on Peckham Rye for more than two decades, I've seen Peckham come out of bad times to become a friendly and happy place to live. ED has changed over that time too - what some would call gentrification. It has a different vibe and at the end of the day it's horses for courses. Most people feel most comfortable where they fit in.

I don't cross a border post when I cross from SE15 to SE15. Lordship Lane is less than three quarters of a mile from my house, as is Peckham Rye station and Rye Lane. There's something to be said for both. That said I also regularly inhabit Brockley, Forest Hill, Brixton and Lewisham. There's no point being geographically conservative - embrace all that south London has to offer.

i made no comment on relativity to past numbers or indeed relativity to other areas. there are a spate of burgalries ongoing in se22 - that is a fact. whether this a larger or smaller spate is irrelevant in the context of my statement which was anyway only a riposte to the previous assertion that se15 would deter insurers. lighten up!

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
