Seconded. It's not actually that hard to design a sympathetic loft conversion that almost looks like it's part of the original design but 20-35k paid to a bunch of half ar$ed cowboys doesn't lend itself to aesthetic wants.

Yes... Citroen dealer. I can see it in my mind like a yellowing Hipstamatic print. I remember getting my Esso 'Man in Flight coins' when my old man filled up the Austin with 2 Star.


There was a really hideous care home down there too. I used to think one of the worst buildings was the new flats up Underhill overlooking the cemetery.. But now they're lived in and have plants and look loved I rather like them. My ugliest vote goes to the sad looking conversion of the old Heber Arms... Mainly because closed pubs make me a bit sad.

There's really only the one candidate...

(Doubtless this is where ED History tells me that SE22 != East Dulwich or something. That piece of unloved real estate is actually an enclave of Wandsworth after the War of Lambethine succession of 1765)

    • It's interesting how local businesses and the people that own / work in them are not considered part of the "community". The dictionary says "a group of people living in the same place" as the principal definition. Why are we forced to accept a secondary definition where those who don't live in social housing, the vast majority of people in East Dulwich, are told to shut up?
    • They often grow in the angle between wall and pavement which could cause damage to the foundation of the wall and leave the council open to being sued.
    • If weeds are allowed to grow for too long they lift pavements and create obvious tripping hazards. Obviously removing them from your wall and/or garden is unacceptable. 
    • This is NEXT WEDNESDAY 11 June! Just turn up if you prefer not to give prior notice! The Palmerston from  7pm, turn left as you come in! (If you have been hiding under a rock, The Palmerston is the pub on Lordship Lane on the corner of North Cross Road).
