Hi, I was hoping some of you locals might be able to help... Ideally I would love to buy a big flat/small house in East Dulwich or Peckham Rye but it's a bit too pricey so I've started looking in neighbouring areas - unfortunately I'm from West London and don't know these neighbourhoods too well at all. Am considering the roads to the East of Peckham Rye Common (Nunhead way) and also Queens Road area which is cheaper and seems like it could be a good investment option and better for transport but I know very little about the feel of Queens Road - how safe it is, what schools are like and whether it really is on the up? I'd be really grateful for any advice!

I think Queens Road is more Peckham than Nunhead. The Queens Road area is definitely the more 'livelier' of the two. Personally I like the Ivydale Road/Inverton Road/Cheltenham Road part of Nunhead. It's a very quiet residential area and Ivydale Primary school has had good reports. Definitey worth a look...

The area around Evelina Road is having a real resurgence. New shops opening to go with the already lovely deli, fishmongers, baker etc.


You'd need to have a wander about (and I would definitely recommend doing so at night, as we were quite surprised, given the sweet villagey feel during the day, that it has a slightly edgier element too!).

Great, thank you for the tip. We've seen a nice place on one of the residential streets just south of Evelina Road (Kimberley Ave)- it appeals because it is close to transport and a few shops. I get the impression that the roads closer to Nunhead station are less desirable than those in the Ivydale Rd/Inverton Rd/Cheltenham Rd area?

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
