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.

    • Not really since the first world war, and mainly in the sense then of 'getting a Blighty one' meaning a wound so serious you had to be sent home. I seriously doubt if one school child in 100 now would know what Blighty meant if the word was presented on its own with no context.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.
