East Dulwich, aka Royston Vasey. I agree that ED is becoming too posh. Not only that but there are NEW SHOPS opening up!!! And STRANGERS coming into the area!!! I think this is atrocious and that all NEW SHOPS!!! should be burnt down. All STRANGERS!!! should be arrested and sent back to where they come from. I suggest that we rewind time about ten years to when ED was a LOCAL community, full of LOCAL SHOPS for LOCAL PEOPLE. After all, progress may be a wonderful thing but frankly, we have had too much of it. Perhaps we could also arrange for all LOCAL SHOPS to revert to 1950's prices and start to charge in pounds, shillings and pence. Obviously, we would also have to revert to pounds and ounces. None of this nasty 'METRIC' measurements Johnny Foreigner has foisted upon us!

Yes DM. Keef's going to black himslef up and join the circus.


Surely ED is as middle class as ever, especially with Nutty's Lotus and Snorky's 911 doing the rounds. I own an old pair of trainers and some socks with holes in (never fear, am learning to darn as we speak).

Posh no. But over the last few years since a lot of new money has moved into the area one does get the feeling that the place is becoming a little gentrified. I'm not complaining though as all the bars, restaurants and shops have all improved beyond measure and there is more choice. Always a good thing that.

We moved here from Brondesbury a little while ago. Sold a small flat for a massive profit which enabled us to buy a semi down here in ED. Did'nt think East Dulwich was posh then but we do feel its turning into a bit of a clone town with a kind of bland homogonised character. To that end we miss the unique character of our former North London idyll...:-$

      That is the similar issue with Peckham Rye - the council have prioritised commercial interests over the community (residents and environment), and utterly shameless in doing so. For a council to be wilfully cirumventing legal ruling, is more than alarming. Their actions should always be transparent and beyond reproach, not shady and biased for particular commercial interest. It raises the question of where else they manipulate commercial interests and generally look to break rules.

      I can't see it will ever be finally resolved, unfortunately. Although the local problems were made much worse due to the move of the Sylvester Road  delivery office to Peckham, Royal Mail has had issues ever since it was privatised. Whenever the local MP gets involved, things get a bit better temporarily, then they just deteriorate again. I hope I'm wrong, but there are similar postal delivery issues all over the country. I think there are currently discussions ongoing to change the delivery requirements which Royal Mail is supposed to adhere to for first and second class post. Silly question, but are you actually expecting letters? I haven't had any post for ages either, but I'm not expecting any! Much stuff these days is done by email or on apps. The East Dulwich delivery office is in Peckham, not West Dulwich?

      Mediation with property solicitor

      By Dulwichlass · Posted

      Hi, over the last few years, I have had a problems with my joint freeholder. For the last 15 years there has been roof leaks and we had some repairs done around 2016 but I got another leak a few years ago. Instead of investing money in a new roof or RICS survey, the joint freeholder is trying to force me to pay for non-essential work in hallway (tiling, new door and repainting) which will come to approximately £3K via Section 20 of the Landlord and Tenants Act 1985. We keep going around in circles and I want to suggest a mediator again (ideally with a property solicitor). Key reason I am wanting to work with a lawyer is my joint freeholder is also solicitor, so needs to be someone who has expertise of leases. I have proposed a managing agent for maintenance for the building or a declaration of trust but they wont agree, so we are unable to move forward. We are just two flats in one house and trust has completely broken down. I think they are trying to make life so difficult that I sell, so they can do an extension. I love my flat and I am not in a situation where I can move. Can anyone suggest a mediator that can help us find some common ground? Any advice welcome and DM if you prefer.
