Winner announced on Sunday :)

Dulwich or East Dulwich though?

[Rianoo]

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 ;-)

Dulwich Village, surely.

Never understood all the fuss about Balham.

[KidKruger]

ED is the Santa Fe of London.

[Freddy1929]

East Dulwich is actually South Peckham................

[numbers]

Peckham was featured as THE place to live in the Telegraph's weekend magazine, to be honest, it looked more like they were just focussing on the Bellenden Road area.

And Dulwich is East Catford. And London is South Manchester and Scotland is South Finland.

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.

Fox.

Is the Sunday Times aware of the stabbings?

[Neil_Howie]

[????]

[Laur]

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

[richard tudor]

Or Ed has an Iceland but no Waitrose or M & S

[Toby]

I was told the other day that Nunhead is now being marketed as the new Peckham.

[LondonMix]

I thought Nunhead was the new ED. Clearly I'm out of touch. My in-laws keep reading ED is the new Clapham (and they don't even live in London).

East Dulwich is a DULL place to live. No soul, too many prams and white (upper) middle class wannabes.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

SE22: has Lordship Lane, shiny pubs, boutique bakeries, exquisite coffee, new graffiti art, cupcakes galore, organic fruit and veg and an artisan market.

SE15: we've got your Mountain bikes

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

:-)
