Boris Johnson moving to Dulwich Village? What have we done to deserve this? ;-)


Recommended Posts

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 🤔

 

This

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!

    • Sophie, I have to thank you for bringing me squarely into 2025.  I was aware of 4G/5G USB dongles for single computers, and of being able to use smartphones for tethering 4G/5G, but hadn't realised that the four mobile networks were now providing home hub/routers, effectively mimicking the cabled broadband suppliers.  I'd personally stick to calling the mobile networks 4G/5G rather than wifi, so as not to confuse them with the wifi that we use within home or from external wifi hotspots. 4G/5G is a whole diffferent, wide-area set of  networks, and uses its own distinct wavebands. So, when you're saying wi-fi, I assume you're actually referring to the wide-area networks, and that it's not a matter of just having poor connections within your home local area network, or a router which is deficient.   If any doubt, the best test will be with a computer connected directly to the router by cable; possibly  trying different locations as well. Which really leaves me with only one maybe useful thing to say.  :) The Which pages at https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/broadband/article/what-is-broadband/what-is-4g-broadband-aUWwk1O9J0cW look pretty useful and informative. They include local area quality of coverage maps for the four providers (including 5G user reports I think) , where they say (and I guess it too is pretty common knowledge): Our survey of the best and worst UK mobile networks found that the most common issues mobile customers have are constantly poor phone signal and continuous brief network dropouts – and in fact no network in our survey received a five star rating for network reliability. 
    • 5G has a shorter range and is worse at penetrating obstacles between you and the cell tower, try logging into the router and knocking it back to 4G (LTE) You also need to establish if the problem is WiFi or cellular. Change the WiFi from 5GHz to 2.4GHz and you will get better WiFi coverage within your house If your WiFi is fine and moving to 4G doesn't help then you might be in a dead spot. There's lots of fibre deployed in East Dulwich
    • Weve used EE for the past 6 years. We're next to Peckham Rye. It's consistent and we've never had any outages or technical issues. We watch live streams for football and suffer no lags or buffering.   All the best.
