Moving back

[telegramsam]

Having grown up around Dulwich, I am moving back after several years overseas. Have to look at property over websites and cannot view them in advance. Anyone have any comments on Highwood Close flats-(nb. location,noise,security etc) off Lordship Lane. Anyone bought or rented there? Obviously newish with mod cons etc and convenient for transport.

Are they where the old TA Depot was?

Thanks for any comments

WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!

It's changed a bit since you left.

But it's still lovely and friendly and thrilling and exciting.

And that's just the whole of LONDON.

:D

My only comment would be that I cant work out where highwood close is and... err neither can streetmap... is that the right name?

Hi Telegramsam

I own an apt in Highwood and have spent the last month or so living there. Great place to live. 10mins walk to Forest Hill station, and all the buses go past from Sydenham, Brixton, ED and Dulwich, peckham etc.

Quiet, friendly(ish) neigbours (people tend to keep to themselves). The apts are all in good condition with all the mod cons as you say. Not sure about security, but you have be careful everywhere.

I would recommend living there.

...stabbings...

Stabbings? In East Dulwich? Loads? Is it "famous" for them?

In the whole of London, maybe.

Thanks to all for the comments about the flats and for those who took time to respond. Certainly a possibility and I look forward to a return to Dulwich soon...
