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.

      Plumber recommendation – Mark at Pure Plumbers

      By JessicaCT · Posted

      A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
