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.

sshhhh JT76, don't tell a soul as I don't want to tempt fate but we seem to be doing fine in SE15...

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!

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
