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!

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By malumbu · Posted

      @first mate  just Google the Green's policies and AI should summarise.  For sustainable transport this includes more initiatives to get people out of their cars as you would expect.  I've always been broadly in favour of their environmental policies, although feel they should go further on culture change. Some of their national policies are bonkers and/or unrealistic - as are most of Reform's.  Historically fringe parties could come up with nonsense, as they will never govern.  Of course whilst I don't expect that Polanski will ever be PM that other bloke could be.  Worrying times, particularly if the Greens split the centre/left vote.  It would be better if One Nation Tories could split the centre vote (and drag some of those on the right), but they don;t have a lot of influence in the current party. One particularly bonkers policy was one element of the Greens who wanted us out of Europe, not because of Europe being pro market/capitalism but because we needed a recession, deindustrialise, so we would all go back to the middle ages.  Or something along those lines.  I lost some friends because of this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03y5trr#:~:text="Protectionism against developing countries%2C savage austerity in,the case for either remain or leave. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/08/eu-reform-green-brexit

      I've planted a meadow out front, it needs a lot of work.  It's lovely until August and then grotty until the next spring as once the flowers have died back it doesn't have a lot going for it.  Clover is the last one to flower.  It will get admiring looks when in bloom. I laugh quite loud when I pass one neighbour with plastic grass, not only is it dead to nature it is not even laid well,   I should be crying.

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By TheRoses · Posted

      Andy did a number of jobs for me and was very reasonably priced. He's very helpful, arrives on time, pays attention to detail and a nice man. I'll be using him again and recommending him to my friends.
