And fortunately I do, well apart the first one which I don't understand.

I'm going to Clapham Common every weekend at the moment to see a lovely cranio-sacral therapist and I'm discovering much to my surprise that it's not that bad. Got some nice cafes. And a floatation centre.

Am off to East Dulwich today, looking at 1 bed properties, anyone live near Deventer Crescent, Underhill Road, Derwent Grove or Grove Vale? Are these all quite central to the hustle and bustle of life in ED?, I don't want to live too far away from where all the life is in some really quiet part of ED, are they near Lordship Lane where all the shops are? Many thanks for any help, that or I could wait until I get there and have a good look around myself, :-$

Underhill Road - depends how far up the property is, as it's a really long road. The lower end is really close to LL and all it has to offer, but the further up you go the longer the walk. Grove Vale is where ED station is, so very close to the action, but could potentially be quite noisy as there's a lot of traffic along that stretch. Not sure on the other roads.

Have fun looking!

Came to visit, liked the area quite vibrant and I was more impressed than I expected to be, Grove Vale quite close to BR and good for getting to work from, am making a few appointments to come down and actually view inside some of the properties I looked at over the weekend, sometimes, if you're lucky you can get to view without an appointment or going through the estate agents, what I used to do was look very obviously at the outside of the property, knock on the door and and ask could I borrow a pen as I wanted to write the estate agent's number down for this property so I could make an appointment to view, you'd be quite surprised, quite a few people say well if its just a quick look you want, come on in! Though come to think of it this is not a sensible thing to do, but as a lone woman you appear less threatening, but obviously if a man answers the door and there is no sign of another female in the property then I give it a miss and say I'll go via the estate agents, not ideal I know and it could be potentially dangerous, but does save time sometimes especially when it is hard to get time off work to go view properly!
