where is the heart of east dulwich?

[andypandy]

The branding on the windows of the new development opposite the Railway Station say it's there. But I really don't think it is the pumping heart of East Dulwich. perhaps it's a pub or Somerfield or even Foxtons. So where do you think is it? Discuss.....

[LuvPeckham]

Where the Haart is of course !!!

[SteveT]

At home!

My back garden.

The EDT.

A rough guessimate using google maps (by entering SE22) and looking at a map of SE22 I would say somewhere half way down Barry Road (Perhaps between Goodrich and Silvester Road)

thought so, it actually is my kitchen isn't it?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Somewhere in San Francisco?

[monica]

the goose green roundabout of course, where i use to picnic in my heydays

[citizenED]

The front bar of the CPT or thereabouts.

North Cross Road, between Pretty Traditional & the Sparkes van!

I'd say somewhere around the junction of Lordship Lane / Northcross Road. Probably the Palmerston then...

Melbourne Grove, London, SE22

Asking Price ?500,000

An unmodernised four bedroom terraced house in the heart of East Dulwich.

Or perhaps it's at the The Butchers on Lordship lane....

[andypandy]

Arguably, that's Iceland or Budgens as well.....

Personally I would have to say my home, but exactly where the heart of ED would be is down to personal preference. It could be starbucks for one, or The EDT or GBK for the other. It all depends really.

Cheners. It's a good mix of old and new (although only the new books are the new thing about it).

(And I've just been reading the Cheners thread and independent bookstores are important and since the library is naff the bookstore for us what can afford to buy books is a good alterantive!)

Failing Cheners, I'd say the junction of North Cross Road and Lordship Lane but not the ex 7-11 though!

I put it in an Organic bag and buried it in Nunhead Cemetery in around the year 2000. It's fine, still enjoys smoking, the odd whiskey chaser and a saturday night out in Bermondsey.

Its got to be the junction of Lordship / Northcross rd??

The palmerston would do nicely too.

Shaun's DIY - obviously!

[Huguenot]

I guess the geographic heart should be where there are equal areas of land on all sides. Well we've got two EDs to choose from:

SE22

and the Electoral Ward

If we go by SE22 it strikes me that the heart of ED seems to be.... The CPT.

If we go by the Electoral Ward the heart seems to be.... The Blue Brick Cafe.

THE PLOUGH ITS ONE OF THE FIRST LANDMARKS OF DULWICH

[Horsebox]

I would have to go with the regular (not extra cold) guinness tap in The Castle P.H.

[KidKruger]

Centre of ED is the junction where Crystal Palace Road meets Whateley Road.

[Keef]

Which again means the CPT, hurrah!!! :)-D
