would echo most of the comments here about variations within the SE15 postcode - roads such as Oglander, Ondine, Adys, Maxted, Muschamp, Marsden etc could all in my view be described as being in East Dulwich, except for the fact they have se15 postcodes which means that technically they aren't.


Not sure what your budget is but there are flats to rent/for sale on Muschamp at the moment which is a fab road....

@cuthbert D - thank you for the list of streets that is very helpful.. Budget ideally around the 1,000 so then we can continue saving to buy somewhere eventually but with everything its all negotiable for the right place and area.. We are currently in a 2 bed as Nicola works from home but if need be would reduce to a 1 bedder ideally with a little study..


Just to update you it looks like ED is well and truly in the running for places to live now, the folder I made clearly dazzled her.. ha ha.. >:D< So now Im just on the look out for the right kind of flat, thankfully we have 9 weeks so you never we may end up in ED yet!!


When are the next forum drinks as we would love to come along? :)-D

Make sure you check Gumtree for flats. Got mine from there and you can often get a bargain from a private landlord rather than going through an agent.


Just make sure you get all the correct paperwork - don't want the same thing happening again do you?!


I doubt there is much crack knocking around East Dulwich though. On fairly massive tangent my home-town (a leafy Surrey suburb) was featured in Tuesday's G2 section of the Guardian as the location of a Chinese brothel in a cul-de-sac. Goes to show the seedy underbelly exists all over and not merely inner London.


Best of British Strawbs.

For what it's worth, when we were looking to rent in the area 3 years ago we registered with all the agents on LL and the best by far (for us) were Bushell's. The girl we dealt with in the lettings office was very helpful and we are still in the garden flat they found us near Goose Green

Having experienced East-Dulwich and Gipsy Hill, I feel equally safe in both places, I like them both for different reasons and really feel you are talking about another place, you must have bumped into the wrong person and that could happen anywhere, even in E-D. E-D has a more exciting nightlife, but that can also keep you from sleeping at night, whereas in GH you are more likely to be woken up by a melodic birdsong. These two places are my london favourites.

    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
