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?

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
