Just to stick up for Sydenham, I love it, there is a mix of people, and no more chavs on the high street that one sees on Lordship Lane. Penge East is 5-10 minute walk from Sydenham High Street, from where you can get on Victoria Line trains. Agree night life is rubbish, but I love living in upper Sydenham!

Bert and Ethel, Stan and Ada, need I go on.......................how pretentious for this area too.


What's happened to all the proper names like Madonna, Peaches, Mooslingtonia, etc.

Because, ultimately, I'd rather be run over by a pushchair than mugged for my wallet at knifepoint.


I'm new to this forum but I've gotta say some people seem very quick to take offense and over react. FFS, all I said was there was a bit of 'nappy valley' thing going on! It's not like I hate kids or anything like that....ohhhh, f*ck it, whatever....

"Yeah I had noticed that ED seems to have something of a 'nappy valley' thing going on. Kids everywhere, mostly with really stupid pretentious names. Never mind though, gotta take the rough with the smooth and all that..."



don't look a kid fan to me.....still if you're scared of the cooler areas you sound quite suited to our suburban oasis

No I'm not particularly keen on them but just because there are more kids about is hardly a reason to avoid living in an area.


I've paid my dues when it comes to living in dodgy areas. In my experience 'dodgy' definitely doesn't equate to 'cool', in fact it's the more middle class areas like ED that are considered cool by most people. I've done 2 years in South Tottenham, 4 years in Wood Green, 1 year in Vauxhall and 18 months in Walworth, that's some pretty rough areas and I wouldn't consider any of them to be 'cool'. I'm not 'scared' as such I've just had enough of the ghetto to last me a lifetime and want somewhere a bit more relaxed.

I think it's Tilt Estates. If you scroll back through this thread there is a web site somebody mentioned where you can get email alerts when a property in your preferred area comes up.


We've been here since May and can recommend it! And yes we do have two young kids and so do most of our neghbours.

I think most of the rental propeties are through Burnet Ware and Graves, as it is just around the corner on the corner of Peckham Rye and ED Road. I had a look at one through them a couple of years ago. Love the square, but it was too small for me.


Tilt's sold their business for a tidy sum, which was discussed on the forum some time ago.

    • The country didn't "hate Corbyn". Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer, if memory serves, and it was only due to our weird electoral system that they didn't win the previous election. Any hatred of Corbyn was whipped up by the right wing press. The Labour Party has completely lost its way. It doesn't seem to know what it stands for any more, and its members have deserted it in droves. Including me. Anyway, this is probably for the lounge, not being directly relevant to the subject of the thread.
    • Agree but Labour made a far worse start and the wheels seem to be falling off spectacularly quickly. Whatever the reason for Reeves' tears it made the markets very jittery and now there is real doubt about how much longer she will last but Starmer cannot afford to lose her - I think they are both toast and the likes of Rayner and Streeting will be licking their chops. A bit like what is happening with Cllr McAsh locally the internal politics of the Labour party always are the real driver of policy, direction and execution and for a government with such a huge majority to be struggling so much so early is really worrying. We should all be very scared because this is paving the way for Reform and a leadership challenge or swing to the farther-left within Labour would be an unmitigated disaster - we had another term of Boris because the country hated Corbyn and his far-left ideology and the far-left Labour may see a leadership challenge as their only feasible way to take the reigns - a bit like Cllr McAsh and his Momentum buddies.
    • He has been around for a few months now and looks so sad and unhappy   ,he is coming into the gardens at the top end of  Upland and  Dunstans Roads .Just wondered if he is owned as he is not neutered and keeps getting into fights with cats .
    • Starting with Brexit, all the way through to drunken lock down parties, and then finishing on Liz Truss' 'mini budget', I would say it was fairly disastrous from start to finish.
