Just been on BBC News Peckham is being Gentrified.. It is the place to be and be seen. Ahem.. Chokes on water.


House prices are Rising. Estate Agents have people on their books who want to move there.


Soon Places like the so called 'Bellenden Village' will be dis-associating themselves from East Dulwich.

The Gowlet will be back in Peckham. NOT East Dulwich.


People living in Parts of E.D. will claim to live in Peckham. Believe me, they will.

I went to see Rush in Peckham last night. There were four others in the audience. I drove up the multi story to see if I could have a gander at Franks but the steel shutters were up.


There were three other cars in the car park.


I thought I'd park on the 5th floor anyway but the lifts were out of order, it stunk of urine, there were some quite impressive piles of shite and a load of cardboard and rags. i.e. a number of people call it home.


It all seemed a long way from the 'G' word.


Good film though, and only a fiver to get in

I think all you have said was mentioned in one of the recent reviews.

including the lifts - you have to walk :)

Except it was still summer and Franks was open.


Part of 'the experience'

I know, schoolboy error. To believe an audience of 4 would watch Rush perform live was me being overly optimistic...

Over the last 30 years or so some new arrivals in our area have re-named some parts of East Dulwich as "Peckham".


More recent arrivals now fall in line and routinely do the same.


Even English Heritage in its area characterisation report has mentioned the southward migration of the Peckham place-name.

A parish is simply?a small administrative district. East Dulwich Parish does not exist anymore. If we are going to define areas by parish, then East Dulwich doesn't exist, instead the area is made up of the parish of st Clement's with st Peter's and the parish of St Barnabas Dulwich.


John you are clearly absolutely desperate to live in East Dulwich. Why on earth did you buy a place in Peckham?

That's quite a negative post! There are some very nice bits of Peckham - and East Dulwich is lovely!

      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.
