2017

A low rise development of urban apartments for the young professional looking for the leafy, village-feel of East Dulwich with its (still) buzzing bars, coffee shops, restaurants and independent artisan shops. A biscotti's throw from Dulwich Park and Peckham Rye, the perfect place to chill on a hot summer afternoon (no barbecues though).

1, 2 and 3 (penthouse) bedroom light 'n' airy units that tick all the boxes with balconies just big enough for a B&Q table and two chairs. Ideal for that lazy Sunday morning when you want catch up on the papers whilst sipping your nespresso from your IKEA mugs and munching a croissant bought from the Tesco Metro on the ground floor. You pretend to ignore the people on the top deck of the 176/185/40 rolling by, instead looking back inside your precious abode and admiring the Mrs Robinson lampshade your parents bought you as a moving in present.


2022

You add to the thread on the local forum about house prices, complaining the East Dulwich ain't what it used to be. Anyway now that sprog number one is on the way it's time to head east for cheaper climes. Thamesmead has come on a lot recently and you can afford a decent sized 3 bedder for less than seven figures. Hey and did you know they filmed A Clockwork Orange here ? You won't be sorry to leave East Dulwich, the buzz you bought into has gone and ever since Costa moved in and the Dave butcher sold his shop to the Waitrose Meat Outlet, things aren't the same here any more.

    • @first mate not aware of any either. Found this relating to 23-24..  https://services.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-creates/funding/cultural-celebrations-fund?chapter=4 
    • Do we still get 50+ outdoor community events per year? All the ones round here seem to have been cancelled, like the Christmas Cracker and the summer equivalent and the Small Business Saturday event etc.  Even on the Southwark Presents page the only events in East Dulwich in the foreseeable future are non-council events organised by other people. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-presents?event_price=All&localgov_event_locality[0]=239&date_min=&date_max=&search=&page=2
    • @CPR DaveWe are talking about Lambeth Council, not Southwark, but I agree. It will be interesting to see if Lambeth fill part of that space with another hire out to a private events company.  As to the idea that what is gained financially from hiring out Peckham Rye Park is a good trade off, does not account for long-term damage to the park and the loss of access to the community for a month at least, in the best summer months where trees and shrubs are in full bloom and animals are birthing or rearing youngsters. For the Council to claim they are 'green' when they allow this is hypocrisy at its finest. @Northern Star Thanks, so they say. I'd love to see a list of these high quality free events and what they entail. I am not aware of any high quality free events in and around ED. Stand to be corrected though. Crikey, seems like they cannot even let Lordship Lane have Christmas lights this year.   
    • Regarding Gala fees: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/280615/GALA-2024-and-one-stage-shows-stakeholder-consultation-findings-report.pdf‘ ‘’The decision to host large/major-scale commercial (ticketed) events in Southwark was taken in 2017, deemed necessary in order to raise enough revenue to offset the running costs of the Events service, which supports the delivery of 50+ outdoor community events per year, and in order to continue to fund a range of high quality, free events across Southwark through the Cultural Celebrations Fund grants programme.’’
