Call me crazy, but has anyone else noticed a strong smell of dog poop coming from Honor Oak Mansions on Underhill Rd?


I'm sure the lovely residents are not contributing to E.D's unfortunate image of dog sh*t capital of London, so wondered if it was a plant. It smells so bad I have to cross the street.


(Slow news day)..

I walk past it to the bus stop on Dunstans Road and it isn't just outside there so I think it must be the flowers. I have to avoid 3 different points of the road to avoid the smell between there and the bust stop! I smelt a similar whif in Canada Water before and thought there must be a fox problem but now think it is the plants
Not in dulwich but we have a "dog turd tree" in our front garden, it's a dark-green leaf shrub that got out of control ( previous owner lived there. 50 years), really smells, especially after rain. We want to cut it down but our (generally very nice and reasonable) neighbour doesn't want us to (it obscures a view she doesn't like).

Don't know of any gingkos nearby.

I think the rows of wheelies by the Mansions could do with disinfectant or maybe a visit from the bin cleaning firm. It's easy for houses in multiple occupation to have no clear agreement about this, and the waste systems get neglected.


Every street seems to have a few 'problem wheelies' . Recent heatwave = smells suddenly worsening, attracting flies and wasps and eventually rats.


Could Council dustmen stick a hygiene request on the offending bins?

It's a pretty weird set up at HOM - I wouldn't want to live there. You'd have to get on very well indeed with all your neighbours - maybe a little too well. Is it some kind of commune or cult perhaps? It just gives me an uneasy feeling. I sometimes cross the road to avoid walking past it.

It's just a mansion block with a communal garden - what's weird about that?


Fl0wer i don't think it is an HMO - just a block of flats - it is fairly normal for blocks of flats to share bins. Often the management company or freeholder will deal with bin cleaning. I lived in a medium sized private block in camberwell and we had those massive industrial bins and the freeholder used to organised haivng the bins cleaned every six months or so.


i am thinkign now we probably need to clean the bins we share in our little four flat block :(

Okay, I used to live at HOM and can corfirm 1. The residents are not having sex with each other, 2. It is just a block of flats 3. The bins get the same amount of attention as everyone else gives their bins, 4. Nobody to my knowledge owns a dog, 5. Walking by the other day it smelled the same as the rest of East Dulwich to me. 6.... Wow, how much time do you people have on your hands? That is, when you're not staring over people's fences and fantasizing about their lives? Perhaps you could also run up a scattergraph of dog poo hotspots in the area and arrange a presentation, just so we have all the data we need. Oh and 7. Yes the pool is amazing, suckers.

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
