Bottom end is very near Peckham Rye  park and the playground.

Top end is near the library and quite near Dulwich Park, also near Lordship Lane buses and the shops at that end of Lordship Lane, eg Sainsbury's Local, a pharmacy etc

Buses in Barry Road go to Peckham Rye station, but it would be a bit of a trek to East Dulwich station whichever end you were.

Pub at each end - Plough at the top, Clock House at the bottom. Both child friendly so far as I know.

Convenience store and small coffee shop in the road, both ok.

I would think the main drawback would be that it's a very busy road with traffic and traffic noise. Don't know how noisy it would be in the garden (if you had one).

Personally I'd rather be in one of the quieter side roads, especially with children, but I don't know how prices compare.

No idea re schools. There's a very large one opposite the Rye, just round the corner from Barry Road.

Have lived in Barry Road since 1975 - the top end by Lordship Lane. Catchment area for Heber Primary and St Anthony's RC primary.

Harris Boys by Peckham Rye. Our girls went to Sydenham Girls secondary school in Forest Hill (short bus ride away). Busy Road with 2 bus routes, parking difficult unless you have off road. Bus terminus in Etherow Street for 40 route. 

Shops at LL end - newsagent, chemist, grocers, dry cleaner, fish and chips, Chinese take away, Sainsburys' local, Plough Homecraft, Indian take away, Kebabs, library.  Café, hairdressers, Bread of Life Café in Christ Church (open weekdays) Fair Trade Centre in same building.

In Darrell Road which is between Upland and Underhill Roads - you have East Dulwich Community Centre which is used by various groups during week, plus children's dance groups on Saturdays. Small shops in both Underhill and Upland Road 

Long gardens both side of road LL to Goodrich, a mix of sizes further down - dependent on whether houses or flats.

"It is named after Charles Barry and is said to be exactly one mile long. Barry designed Dulwich Park, to which the road leads. Westerfield Road became Barry Road in 1867."

I think it was a sort of grand avenue for carriages for the likes of Queen Victoria who came to Dulwich Park to admire the rhododendrons

Sir Charles Barry and his son Charles Barry Junior were both architects for Dulwich College.  Junior designed many buildings for the College including the new College itself, Dulwich Library, North Dulwich Station and the sadly disappeared High Level station at Crystal Palace.  He was responsible for the initial designs for Dulwich Park but the final designs were by JJ Sexby, Chief Parks Officer for the LCC.   There was a track there long before it became Barry Road.

Malumbu, you have posted in the wrong section, this lot should be 8n the traffic section. You are up to your old tricks again!

The actual thread was initially about living in Barry - this was hijacked to make it about traffic. - Oh, and the Barry Road Race referenced by Malumbu was actually a thing - it was a pedestrian race in Barry Road, in the old days when we weren't a divided community.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
