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!

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
