edhistory Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I didn't get away with that one!East Dulwich has five, plus those misallocated to Peckham (I'm not ploughing my way through the list to count them after excluding the Kent entries)If you look at the register again you will see that a very large number of the Camberwell entries are actually in Lambeth and not Camberwell. It's the post code problem again.John K Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/29313-worst-building-in-ed/page/2/#findComment-618199 Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you were in the kitchen you were in Southwark and when you were in the front room you were in Lambeth. But you were always in Camberwell.

But I had a childhood flashback and I think there used to be an Esso petrol station opposite the timber yard. Anyone remember that?

Utter> carbuncle.As does Grand Designs...Okay - residences aside - you only have to go two to the right of Crown House (on the view you linked to) to see the spirit-draining numbness that houses the young offenders programme atm. A truly hideous 'unit 3 on the Gravesend Industrial Estate' kind of a building.For residences I'm surprised no one has mentioned the whole Ladlands devpt - but I quite like that too .
