elipie Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hello,My boyfriend and I are thinking about moving to East Dulwich in the autumn, I was wondering whereabouts would be a good place to start looking. I need to be close to a train station that gets me to East Croydon and he needs to get onto the Thameslink trains (but neither of us mind changing trains if needs be).Any advice would be much appreciated!Thanks Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3241-moving-to-ed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamberwellOz Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Elipie - if you use the search engine on the EDF - you will be able to find lots of information about what you are after. (I would put in 'moving' in the search engine) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3241-moving-to-ed/#findComment-100923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I worked in Croydon for a (short) while, and it was a pain in the ass getting there. There is a direct train, but they're not frequent and the last one in the evening was stupidly early. However, there is a bus route which goes along Peckham Rye, Barry Road, etc, which is OK as long as you don't mind a fairly lengthy journey.On the other hand, it's about a 25 min drive, or I imagine about a 30 min cycle.

Jamma Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 It's probably quicker cycling than driving! You'd be best looking at Herne Hill/North Dulwich than E Dul I'd say. HH for the Thameslink trains, HH or N Dul for trains to Tulse Hill or Norwood or Streatham where you can easily change for a Croydon East train. Direct trains from W Croydon to North Dul station.

elipie Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hmmm, me cycling is prob not the best plan!Looking at the trains from ED they'd be ok for me, just a question of whether there is anywhere nice that is walkable to there and say Herne Hill for the Thameslink.

AcedOut Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Peckham Rye has Thamslink trains (Trains to Victoria, Blackfriars, London Bridge). You're best living somewhere around The Gardens area, as you'll be equidistant from both ED and PR stations. It's 5mins on a bus to PR station from The Gardens and only 5min walk to Lordship Lane.

mockney piers Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Or your fella can change at tulse hill from east dulwich, its not a long wait. Herne hill is about a 15-20 minute walk (well, 45 minutes if you're in the upper east side) but the number 37 bus is better these days than it used to be.
