Can anyone help me, please? I'm looking at properties in East Dulwich, currently living just outside the area, and I've noticed there are a few places for sale in Lytcott Grove. Does anyone on the Forum live around there, know about the road, can give any idea as to whether it's a nice, safe, place to live?


Many thanks

Some of Lytcott Grove was prettily set out like the rest of this district, but a bomb landed so after WW2 it received several blocks of council flats & maisonettes. These are well designed and spacious inside except they have inadequate sound proofing - concrete construction makes the stairwells and overhead flats echo. Thanks to Mags some which went into private ownership are fetching about ?330,000 now.


The public spaces have been carefully regenerated with a lot of patient effort and determination.


As in most parts of London there is a shadowy component, noisy mopeds in and out at any time of day or night indicate the crack, etc courier service and groups hang around outside making a lively party on the street, this escalates in warm weather.


Some of us would find it challenging to tolerate this so I feel it is only fair to answer your question candidly.

I have to say where we live the first bit off Melbourne Grove we haven't noticed any people hanging around or mopeds going through the night or any shadowy contingent! sure there can be a bit of noise from the flats above, but we had that in our last place a Victorian terrace (that was Rodwell Road and incidentally there were more people just hanging there on the street then in Lytcott Grove). Where ever you live in London there's noise and bustle, it's just what happens in flats. We love the public spaces and the last bank holiday they were being used - families having picnics, people just enjoying the space which was great to see.

    • Hello Everyone,  Are you are a patient at FHRGP? I have copied the following information from their website about the next Patient Participation Group meeting to be held at 6.30pm, on Thursday 23rd January 2025. This is an opportunity to come along, listen to what they have to say as per the Agenda, and perhaps ask some pertinent and searching questions about any concerns you may have regarding the agenda items, or any other matters regarding the Practice and the impact and consequences it has on us, the patients.   Patient Participation Group (PPG)  Next Meeting: 6:30pm Thursday 23rd January 2025  Dr Ganesh will continue to share with us the realities of general practice. The agenda will include: The FHRGP Website Allocation of appointments  Accessing non-urgent care  A named GP  Staff name badges  Face to face appointments  Older patients and apps  The long term plan  A patients’ questionnaire All patients are warmly invited to share in this opportunity Time will be given for patients’ issues including topics for PPG discussion in 2025 Please, put the date and time in your diary and come along. Change only happens, when the people (us, the patients) make our voices heard about any concerns we may have, to those who can affect change, and improve how things are run to benefit the patients.  "Things can only get better"  
    • Shop was closed today & flowers left outside….. the funeral couldn’t be so soon, could it?
    • After I contacted them via online chat the assistant said, "Sorry I don't know what happened", basically. She offered to rebook the pickup but I said there was no time to try a third time. I got a refund and sent my parcel through the post office instead.
