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?

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
