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...:-$

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By first mate · Posted

      There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?

      They used to have dedicated park wardens, who I'm sure used to look after the parks and locked and opened the gates. Years ago I knew someone who was one. I thought they were based in that hut by the toilets. Are they not there any more? The community wardens are attached to the police rather than a specific park, aren't they?

      Great news! Peckham Rye station to reclaim its public square by next year!

      By rollflick · Posted

      Yes, sad how Rye Lane has taken a dive, interesting to see those pics CPR Dave. It's shocking how the section between Choumert Road and the Nag's Head in particular has lost its vibrancy, meanwhile the next section to the top of Peckham Rye Common has gentrified. Wonder why such a distinction in fortunes? Anyway the station square plans have fallen behind yet again, demolition won't now start this summer. The only "work" that will now take place this summer is surveying of the arcade, which they've had 10 years since planning permission to do. At least the replacement TSB branch has progressed but the Blenheim Grove corner building still looks unfinished, despite claims it "is now complete". https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/current-and-future-development/peckham-and-nunhead-2
