We had the police come around today and tell us there a lot of burglaries going on near us (around oakhurst grove/the gardens). Things are so bad that there are a lot of plain clothes police out and about right now and some uniformed officers are going around door to door warning people, offering advice and giving out "smart water" tagging kits. The smart water stuff is a rather cool invisible micro-tagged gel that flureses under UV light and when looked at under a microscope shows a unique serial number that had been assigned by the police to your house. You wipe some on your valuables and if they turn up getting hocked they can very likely be IDed as yours. Very CSI.


My points here are

1) take care and keep and eye out. It sounds like there are some pretty organised theives around our area

2) thanks to the local police for a really positive pro-active step in protecting us from them


This has to be the most positive policing initiative I've seen in my 8 years in london. I am totally chuffed by how it's been handled.

Just emailed the efficient Katherine Pitt and got this message- pasted below-straight back..phone number for anyone who wants a kit.



thank you for getting in touch, I have just received an email about this from another East Dulwich resident too.


The police should be able to provide you with a SmartWater kit. I have forwarded your email to the East Dulwich Safer Neighbourhood Police Team. I'm not allowed to give out their email address, but if for any reason you don't hear back, their phone number is 020 8721 2447.


kind regards

    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.      
    • Hi all Does anyone know someone who can make a window seat cushion and cover? See image of window seat. Thank you.
    • Don't know why but it seems like there have been impromptu fireworks since early September. At one point I even wondered if there was a shooting range or something like that over Dulwich Hamlet way- the direction where the firework sounds seem to be coming from? Is there some kind of new, fireworks craze going on and where are people getting them, out of season?
