Negative but true, Peckham was/is nasty and is East Dulwich is far from "lovely". I also owned a shop in Peckham for 7 years which simply reinforced my belief the place was a hole.

What's your point?

"Dulwich Deanery

Rev Canon Charles Richardson

The parishes of this small Deanery, stretching from South Peckham to beyond Dulwich Village

[Jeremy]

Parish smarish. Who cars what the church says. At least the post office are vaguely relevant to the 21st century... for now...

[Otta]

Even if at one time, East Dulwich stretched in to what is now Peckham, boundaries change. You are the only person in 2013 that uses CofE Parishes to define borders.

SE15 is Peckham. Everyone except for you basically gets that. You shouldn't be ashamed John, embrace your Peckham roots!

[Otta]

Cross post with Jeremy.

So basically, what Jeremy said.

Parkdrive, do you really think so? I honestly think East Dulwich is lovely! Out of interest, why do you think otherwise? And don't you think there are some nice bits of Peckham? What were your experiences of owning a shop there?

Ah so edhistory lives in SE15? Honestly, the lengths some people will go to in order to claim they live in East Dulwich, heehee!

Same here. And I always have done.

If SE15 is Peckham, where is Nunhead?

SE15 is Peckham and Nunhead. But it certainly isn't East Dulwich!

[DulwichFox]

Nunhead is a fictitious Place.

Appro. equidistant between East Dulwich and Millwall Football Ground. Also both fictitious places.

[Otta]

Yeah, Nunhead is basically no man's land between New Cross, Brockley and Peckham. It doesn't deserve it's own postcode.

[nick shaw]

we now live in nunhead heights !

[Townleygreen]

never mind

Word!

[edhistory]

The world according to post-coders:

A flat in Everthorpe Road, East Dulwich, SE15, is not in East Dulwich.

It is in Nunhead and simultaneously in Peckham.

[Otta]

The world according to old parish maps.

Half of Peckham is in East Dulwich.

[edhistory]

Your geography of Peckham is not very good. It would not be possible to fit half of Peckham south of Choumert Road.

I wonder where the 2013 northern boundary of East Dulwich Parish lies.
