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

[gringle]

I heard it was Stradella Road... but that was third hand....

[n dulwich northerner]

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"

[Jacqui5254]

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 🤔

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

[Jules-and-Boo]

Sums it up nicely to hear that Maggie took a free house in Dulwich.

FFS.

The local scuttlebutt is that it’s this house

Tom and Nicole lived in the village - large house, ivy, large house ivy, large house, no ivy and security cameras.

ETA: Sorry, posted before I had read the rest of the thread.

Maybe he's read the forum and felt the love so many have expressed for him on here.🤣

 

EDF is literally an echo chamber...

I hope Boris moves in just to trigger you all.

[Rumbero]

Who’ll be the first to spot him in Sainsbury’s?

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.

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

[Dogkennelhillbilly]

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...

[Spartacus]

Billy, have you been partying with the Finnish PM again 😅

[Spartacus]

Anyone seen him yet ? 😜

[jazzer]

Who cares where he lives, just let him live his life, we is a PM booted out of Office (and rightly so, probably later than he should have gone) and get on with yours.

[MrsR]

Well said Carrie ;-)

[mlteenie]

Latest talk on the roads is that he may be moving into detached Marlinspike-esque house opp Stradella jct on Burbage. Would somehow make more sense: bigger and more easily cordoned orff for security...

[Penguin68]

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

[Lynne]

Today's paper said he might be moving to Herne Hill

[Sue]

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.

[malumbu]

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!
