I do not like hanging around the place. It's dirty (clumps of hair blowing in the wind from the plethora of hair salons) and the stench of meat and fish (me being a veggie for 20 years) makes me want to puke every time.


The word 'scum' is not relating to the 'people' that live there so please do not get offended on their behalf SMG. I just think it could do with a bloody good refurb and a tidy up. The old buildings if you gaze above street level are really lovely.

you can also get to canary wharf by taking train to lewisham (from denmark hill, peckham rye or nunhead) then jumping on DLR. Advantage of this route is no long walks through London bridge crowds or sitting on sweaty tube trains.

East Dulwich.

3 minutes via kitchen for coffee.


Except when it's a trip elsewhere (Munich and Paris last week: was caught up in transport hell at both Paris and UK ends of the Bush visit - all flights to-from Heathow delayed by *practising for Bush's visit*)

    • Well good for you, I don't feel safe. And saying why don't I go and live somewhere else is crass.  Yes London is lawless, open your eys and see the reality. 
    • Also, as discussed on another thread, that particular  assailant was possibly (we don't know)  mentally ill. Whereas I'm guessing most crimes locally are   committed for money, (ie things that can be sold), food (if someone is really desperate, or to sell) or just pure mischief (like the recent goings on on Peckham Rye). I'm a 76 year old woman, and I feel safe on the streets, and I frequently go to Central London. If you seriously don't feel safe living here, why on earth don't you go and live somewhere else?! It's absolute nonsense to say London is lawless, and it's absolute nonsense to say the police stand by and do nothing. There will always be crime. It used to be cutpurses and highwaymen. And organised gangs of thieves. And people like Jack the Ripper.
    • No it is not, it is a fact whether you like it or not. Do you feel safe on the streets, because I don't, do you go too central London, I don't as I don't feel safe. No one knows if someone is i) carrying a weapon or a knife and ii) you don't know what will trigger them to use it. So feel free to live in your bubble, but the reality is London is lawless and the police stand by and do nothing. 
    • Leon responded quickly to my online enquiry and to follow-up texts when arranging a date for the work. He replaced a faulty switch for my outdoor sensor light. I expected it would be difficult to find an electrician willing to take on such a small job. So I was really pleased to find Leon and would definitely recommend him.
