Has anybody moved from ED to Nunhead?

[Sue]

I'm considering moving from the North Cross Road area to Nunhead.

Has anybody done it? If so, are you happy you did, or wish you hadn't?

What would you say are the pros and cons?

Ta :)

[intexasatthe moment]

Personally I'd love to move from ED to Nunhead ,seems quieter ,less crowded ,more spacious and such great shops .

good luck !

[Sue]

Yes, and near a lot of green spaces. And two great pubs with The Ivy House and The Old Nun's Head!

Though not sure about the shops, which ones do you mean?

[KidKruger]

But Nunhead's where common people live isn't it ?

[Loz]

But could you put up with the sniggering every time you told someone where you live? (see also: Maidenhead, Dorking, Pratts Bottom)

[Salsaboy]

No, that's Penge.

Yes. That's the main reason I want to move there :)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

The shops are fab. Ayrs the Bakers, Sopers the Fishmongers, great greengrocer, two butchers, flower shops, deli/cafe, bonkers chemist emporium and an undertakers.

[Sue]

Ah. The undertakers should come in handy if I run out of coffins :))

[hpsaucey]

Chemist is Kristals - bloody brilliant. Has just about everything.....

I've noticed that the people in Nunhead have funny eyes.

That is all.

[aquarius moon]

You will have that dreaded SE15 postcode that everybody in ED seems to hate.

(I'm quite proud of it myself)

And there is nothing funny about my eyes MrBen!

[unlurked]

I know money orientated people that cashed in on inflated ED property prices and moved to cheaper Nunhead-they have regretted for various reasons incl high levels of crime esp associated with gangs, unfriendly people, lack of range of shops, and a general rough area. They are looking to move out already.

[emc]

What a load of rubbish unlurked. I live in NunHead and can honestly say if someone offered me the chance to live in ED I would not take it - whereas a few years ago I hankered after ED. Every house that goes up for sale near me goes with lightening speed. I live on a lovely quiet, leafy street, 2 mins from Peckham Rye, am now surrounded by a selection of great pubs, great shops, great cafe, lovely neighbours, good primary school etc. it doesn't feel very different to ED to be honest , except a little less 'busy' and crowded which to me is a good thing. I think there's a big difference to the bit of NunHead near the rye and the one past the station and prices reflect this. My three bed terrace has more than doubled in price since I've lived here so while of course it's still cheaper than ED the gap is rapidly closing so it's not necessarily the much cheaper option though properties past the station, towards queens road might well be. All in all I love it.

[????]

Methinks the nun headers doth protest too much

[Sue]

Yes the gap in house prices is closing rapidly and yes, houses are selling very quickly.

Rough area, unlurked? You're joking, yes?

Unfriendly people? Quite the opposite in my experience.

Though - if "money-orientated" people are moving to Nunhead, that's a definite point against as far as I'm concerned. It's one of the reasons I'm considering moving out of ED :(

ETA: I'm looking at the Rye end, not the Queen's Road end.

[The Minkey]

I live at the top end of Nunhead/Peckham Rye. It's quieter up here than down in Nunhead Central, but I love the proximity to One Tree Hill, Brenchley Gardens, Nunhead Cemetery and the Ivyhouse, plus the fact my garden backs onto the reservoir. Lordship Lane is a 20mins stroll away, across the park and down Northcross Road. I can't say how it compares to living in ED, as I moved here from Brixton.

[unlurked]

Nunhead is a poor cousin. I hear it is even shunned by Pecknaam people. Seriously, it's rough, and there are large swathes of rabbit warren council estates that you wouldn't wander into as a 'stranger'.

I have also noticed the eyes.

[????]

Don't provoke them UL,they'll be round with their Stanley's

[Loz]

Does Nunhead actually exist? I thought it was estate agent speak for some of the more unpopular parts of Peckham Rye. ;)

I've heard the Ivy House is rubbish.

[emc]

Nope, ivy house is fab and, at the moment, packed out...could just be a novelty thing though but we will see..

[Otta]

I was just gently ribbing Sue emc, because she plugs it at every given opportunity.

As a Millwall supporter living in Nunhead, I'm obviously a very dangerous person.

You had better watch out!
