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!

      Looking to buy or adopt a dog

      By Azalea · Posted

      By ‘adopting’ you would still have to pay for the dog.  Do you have children?  Have you ever had a dog before?  Looked after anyone’s dog?  Work away from home?  Are there any breeds you are particularly interested in?    I would suggest going to Discover Dogs which is part of Crufts but that won’t be until next year now. That way you can meet many different breeds and their owners.  They used to have a standalone DD at the Excel Centre in November but I don’t think it exists anymore. You could also go to different dog shows to see different breeds. They are held throughout the year.  if you get certain breeds like a shitzu or poodle then you’d have to factor in grooming costs if you can’t do it yourself.  You can always keep them in a very short clip.  Many dogs shed a lot including short haired dogs like pugs.  Golden retrievers are also notorious for shedding.  I personally would never get a brachy dog like a pug, French bulldog or English bulldog ever.    If you get a well bred dog from a breeder and can meet the parents then you would get an idea of what the dog will turn out like.  Sometimes breeders have dogs returned to them for various reasons including illness of the owner.  You could look for such a dog.  It’s important that all dogs are socialised correctly during their first year as well as being exposed to outside influences. If this doesn’t take place then the dog has been done a disservice.  But, there’s no substitute to good breeding in my opinion or if you are getting an older dog perhaps you could foster first to get to know them.  You could end up with a dog who’d been badly treated in a previous home and that would take a lot of fixing.   If you are interested in sight hounds, @galgosdelsol are a rescue in Spain run by an English woman (they are on Instagram and have a website) who rehomes Galgos, Spanish dogs similar to greyhounds.  They are often dumped by Spanish hunters if they won’t hunt and retrieve.  They are thoroughly assessed and trained before being rehomed. A breeder of my favourite breed in York works with a Romanian rescue and she fosters a few dogs a year in order to rehome them in the UK.  She’s even kept a few herself.

      Agree.  They also send emails out saying when they’ve received it and on day of delivery say what time in a three hour gap to expect it.

      Coordinated posts intended to mould opinions and silence debate

      I have been doing a lot of posts and liking a lot - to see if we are rate limited. It appears we are to some extent, with "likes". How do people manage to get into the mid 20,000's of posts on here? That is some commitment.

      I have not. Both things are true.
