Hello,


I am moving to the area, into the houses close to Sainsbury?s (Talbot/Burrow/Abbotswood) and I wanted some information about the area and specifically that neighbourhood.


I have read that there have been instances of people breaking into sheds and jumping into gardens. Are these one off instances or do these happen a lot there due to how isolated those houses are?


Also do people look out for each other there? I assume the area is made up of families and professionals.


I've noticed a big brown building in the background and I've heard this is a private property where doctors and nurses who work at the nearby hospital live. Is that correct?


Any other information about those houses would be useful and any tips / things to watch out for?


thanks,

LUVED

Hi upthefoxes,


I've lived in the area you mention for 10 years. Yes, as reported on EDF, there were a spate of break-ins along with a lot of East Dulwich. I haven't heard of anything recently happen though, and fingers crossed may this long be the case. In the years I have been here this is the only spate I know of.


I know my neighbours very well and we look out for one another. As it's a bunch of cul-de-sacs you see the same people and get to know them which are mainly families and professionals.


From the best of my knowledge the building you mention is residence for local doctors and nurses. I'm in close proximity of it and it has never caused a problem.


I feel safe here and love where I live, although my friends tell me it's a little Brookside. Hey, if I can park my car outside my house, give me Brookside any day of the week !


Hope this helps but feel free to private message me if you have any other questions.


LuvED

Thanks everyone for your responses (through thread and privately).


It's so nice to see a sense of community and caring in ED through this forum! We didn't expect any replies because its London and people are too busy to care but this forum is great.


LuvED - thanks for the above and looking forward to moving to brookside!

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Dell Autos is closing tomorrow

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
