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.

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
