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.

    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
    • I agree there are other options, but apart from cutting off bits of the body, which is probably not going to happen here, at least hopefully not in my lifetime, I wouldn't call them"stricter"! Unfortunately ultimately it may depend on what is cost effective in terms of implementation.
    • This year it was Pfizer. Last year was Moderna and I was quite  ill after it for the first time. I think last year was the only time I have had Moderna, but the illness may have been nothing to do with what kind of jab it was, I don't know. I have no idea whether everyone gets the same one in any particular year, but I'm sure someone else on here will know! 
    • Thanks for posting this JMK we have had 3 children at Charter East so have been involved with the school from the very early days and have watched the impact of inconsistent, unsupportive and at worst unprofessional and biased management on them over the years. Individual teachers have at times been great and as JMK says it is the overall structure that creates a toxic and punitive atmosphere which directly impacts some families more than others and these are the kids overwhelmingly that have an SEN.  The experience of these families is night and day compared with the families with children that can cope in this system.
