Louisa. I love your style.

I heard there was going to be a new Pound Shop on Lordship Lane. Everything a Fiver.


Foxy.

Got my copy through the door.


The ?3.95 price on it is obviously just supposed to make you think it's worth something, as quite clearly it's a free mag which nobody in their right mind would pay twopence for, let alone nearly four quid.


At least half of the magazine consists of estate agents' stuff, including houses in SW2, and what reviews of "Crystal Palace's newest fish restaurant" and The Lido Cafe in Brockwell Park have to do with Dulwich, God knows.


Oh, and the "What's on in September" section has exactly five things in it which appear to be in Dulwich, the rest being in places like Brockley, Forest Hill and West Norwood.


Absolutely Not Dulwich, then.


"Stylish. Intelligent. Elegant. Absolutely" it says at the bottom of the front cover. In my experience, anything described as "stylish" is usually anything but, and this crock of s***e hasn't caused me to change my mind :))


My next copy will go straight in the recycling bin without a second glance.

    • I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
    • Hi. Does anyone know of a silver making jewellery workshop. I am trying to find something nice for my daughter’s 18th birthday.l for her and some friends but everything I find online is too pricey or can’t accommodate 10 girls. Thanks 
    • Without doubt a busy road with constant traffic - but can always put in double glazing. If you have a car, don’t expect to park right outside - prob further away but with walking distance. Agree with PeckhamNicola re train times and freight but at least not wizzing by every few minutes! Sorry but little experience in state schools - obviously you have plenty of private - Jags Dulwich College, Alleyns. Judith Kerr on Half Moon Lane - good rep - no idea whether secondary or primary  - think primary. Also Charter School North - good reputation and Ark Evelyn - no idea! You might also look at West Dulwichand Crystal Palace Schools. Try Harris Academy as well. All the best.
