London's most desirable locations to live have been identified in a new Sunday Times guide.

The top five are listed as Richmond, Chiswick, Dulwich, Balham and Muswell Hill.

Winner announced on Sunday :)

I am guessing Dulwich - but, for me, it depends on age range. Friends of mine (30's) live in Dulwich but spend most time in ED. Their neighbours (60+) never leave Dulwich. I have lived in Acton and now live in ED so I can always sit back and think I nearly made it ;-)

Funny how Bellenden Road Desparately wants to be part of East Dulwich..


...But is happy to be part of Peckham as soon as Peckham gets any Good Press.

What is the evidence for this? Does the road have its own consciousness? And do you not know how to spell 'desperately'?

swissjoel, why do you live in ED if you don't like it? And if you don't like ED, why are you on the forum?


Oh, and I realise your comment about white people may well have been deliberately provocative, but either way, it's still a fucking stupid thing to say.

How do you become a middle class wannabe? I drive a Toyota, bang on about house prices and insist on the occasional Ocado delivery to liven up my dull life of working in the City and dealing with young kids.... Am I middle class or just a middle class wannabe? And how could I tell one way or the other?


And you are probably right... ED is probably boring for those who aren't middle class and / or don't have a pram... Although I'd heard that there is a right good laugh to be had at Bar Boho after 11pm (can't validate that though as am usually in bed)

It always amazes me that people that would never, ever say "there's too many black people around here" can happily type this rubbish.

I think you just proved his point. The way you describe your life, it does seem rather dull

Though there may not be one in August, as many people will be away  Also, depending what you are into, there is a Singaround upstairs at The Castle in Crystal Palace Road on the second Sunday of the month.

Also, lots going on at The Ivy House in Nunhead, London's first community owned pub https://www.ivyhousenunhead.com  
    • I mean if its going on for a long time I would think just having a talk to them over coffee would help.seems like they are freehold owners if they've been living there for a long time so i would advise not reporting them to the police since you will be stuck with them for a long time to come
