I think Harriet Harman has lived with her late husband Jack Dromy MP on Winterbrook Rd, which is next to Stradella. Neither is really DV, more Herne Hill, but the report was in the Daily Mail.

There was talk when Maggie moved into Dulwich Village, that the house was a gift from, I think, Bovis (or some other national building company) as a PR stunt. The building company was being slated for poor quality new housing and Maggie having one of their houses, other people would take note and purchase. Heard this tale from various people including friends who had strong links to various MPs at the time.

 

I believe it was a gift from "Barrett Housing" or "Barrett Developments" I remember driving past as it was being built "Secure gated development"

if the rumours I heard last night are true, that Boris has selected a house on a road that is very much not a gated community.

 

I thought the LTN has made a virtual gated community out of the village 🤔

So East Dulwich, its immediate neighbour, doesn't exist


Where is Dulwich Village?

Six miles south-east of central London, Dulwich Village is a leafy, affluent suburb in the borough of Southwark.


Straddling Herne Hill to the north and Crystal Palace to the south, Forest Hill lies to the east and West Norwood and Tulse Hill to the west.

Isn't this just estate agents talking? Like when they said Tom Cruise was buying a house in Dulwich village?

 

I believe he did indeed rent a house there when he was over here filming.

A colleague of mine has family who live in the village and this is what he told me

He and his police security will get so fed up of receiving LTN tickets or not being able to drive straight into the village without hitting "displaced" traffic that he will have a word in the shell like of the transport secretary and Bob's your bleeding auntie the LTN scheme may be reviewed

...

There will be police on street corners so crime may disperse.

 

Ugh, another public school twat in red trousers - just what South London needs...


We've had 2 years of conspiracy theorist moaning that LTNs are the creation of a Masonic-cyclist-Marxist civil servant cabal. Now apparently they're I the gift of the Tory grift machine.


Perhaps crime will fall outside the house if police are stationed there. The question is whether that will cancel out the criminal activity inside the house...

The current rumour in the press is Herne Hill. Close but no coconut.

 

Stradella Road runs between Dulwich Village and Herne Hill, so if it is correct that he is moving to that road, it would depend which end of the road it was.

Is this post relevant to East Dulwich, will he be seen in the Cheese Block, North Cross Road, Sainsbury's or DHFC? If not perhaps move to the Lounge or hyperspace.


What a killjoy I'm being on this lovely morning!

      Tate Modern eateries suggestions

      By PeckhamNicola · Posted

      Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?

      Car dilemma - do you manage without one?

      By beansprout · Posted

      Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.

      If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
