You'd be hard pushed to find an inch of ED that isn't full of children. We live near Oakhurst Grove and it's lovely. The important question is access to schools (which I will leave to comments from those with younger children, we got in to our school when there was less pressure). 'Safe', it's London, depends on what you mean by this but we feel safe, had a burglary 6 years ago but we love it here.

movingeast has already posted that she will only consider moving to Dulwich or ED if she can find a good private school for her daughter to go to, so catchment to any of our excellent local primary schools isn't a factor for them.


Am also interested about why having Upland Road nearby would make somewhere a 'great location'? No offense Upland roaders, your road is lovely, but the same level of lovely as any other road in ED. What's the draw there for movingeast? Is there some special thing happening on Upland that I'm missing out on?


Oakhurst Grove is a lovely area, but you'd be hard pushed to find an area in ED that isn't frankly.

I live on Oakhurst with a 16m old and I like it. Its close to the park at goose green which has a lovely little playground, a short stroll to the markets on northcross or Lordship Lane, close to the gowlett which does excellent pizza (best in ED in my opinion), close to the big peckham rye park, centrally located between peck rye and ED train stations so great for transport, 37 and 484 bus at the bottom of the street on ED road. It also has bollards which makes it less thoroughfare than it could have been. Also the Gardens surgery is just around the corner which in my view are a fantastic GP practice.


I've been broken in to twice on Oakhurst in 4 years but I think that applies to a lot of people on various streets, it is not Oakhurst specific.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
