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?

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
