Dear Mr Dale


While Dulwich does not have the transport hub that is Camberwell Green, we do have East Dulwich, North Dulwich and Peckham Rye stations within close proximity to most corners of our world, plus a lot of buses pass through. We can catch the 185 to Victoria, 176 to Aldwych and 40 to Aldgate via London Bridge, and the 12 to Oxford Circus. And the 63 to Kings Cross now that I think of it.


So no tube, but transport links not as bad as one might think.


Regards

Agreed P's F. I'm a bit confused by Alan's observations too.


I'm not aware that Camberwell is more pricey than ED either, C'well has a higher crime rate and a singularly more down-at-heel feel to it.


As for transport links, many punters mean 'no tube' when they say limited public transport, but that's often because they're not familiar with the train service. It goes every 10 mins during the day. You don't have to be that clever to arrive when it'll only be a 3/4 min wait - just like the tube.


I work in Kentish Town, and it's far faster, more predictable and more comfortable by train than by tube on the Northern Line (down to Tulse Hill and back up on the Thameslink).


I'm sure there are places in ED you can live where buses aren't that accessible, but surely that's the same anywhere?

I live on the Peckham Rye side of East Dulwich, so have the option of trains to Blackfriars, Victoria or London Bridge. Buses arriving every few minutes take me to the station in 5 minutes. I work in the city and have a 35 minute door-to-door trip every morning. That's the same commute time as when I was living in Chelsea.


I guarantee that trains are a whole lot more comfortable that tube trains, especially in the summer!
