I have lived in East Dulwich/Peckham Rye borders now for over 18 months, I really liked Lordship Lane and East Dulwich for about a year but over the past six months its just become boring and bland. I just wanted to know if others have felt this, Camberwell seems to be more edgy and arty these days.
Nothing wrong with East Dulwich. It's what you put in to get out of it. (err... make of that what you will). Camberwell has always been a bit more edgy and the arty bit comes from the students at Camberwell Art College. If you prefer it there you could always move.

So what's actually changed about ED in the last 18 months?


Or is it you've just got bored now you know the place?


Personally I think what matters is who you hang out with, not where you hang out. I had some great times living in Swindon.... and if you can enjoy yourself there, you can probably enjoy yourself anywhere!!

Ive only been in ED for a little while and I absolutely love it and I can feel it in my bones that in 18 months I will absolutely love it!


As for Camberwell - dude you take your life in to your own hands just dont point all the crazy peeps in the direction of ED when you move there ;-)

move to camberwell dude

I can see where matt is coming from, ED is rather boring and bland - but obviously many of the forumites will take an opinion of an area personally.


Sigh.


It's pleasant here though, but I will probably have a change within the next 12 months and rent my house out, which is off 'trendy' (note the saracasm) Northcross Rd.

You want edgy?


You could always try Deptford. Moss Side. Or some of the lovely Glasgow housing estates.


I lived in 'edgy' for a number of years, but I do prefer having a night's sleep to being woken by yet another all-night blues club in the house next door, with machete-wielding macho idiots occupying the pavement space outside. There are only so many 999 calls to fire and ambulance one should be expected to make in a lifetime.

LL would definitely benefit from some kind of cultural hotspot, an art centre or something of its ilk. Some where that you could take a leisurely stroll to that was showing some poncey euro-arthouse-flimflammery-cinematic experience. I'm all for it. ;-)

Worth an application for Lottery funding?

If someone has been hear years and years and made the OP's comment then, maybe, maybe not


But to say you moved here 18 months ago and now your are bored - says more about you than it does about the area. That's not meant to sound like a dig btw - just suspect you may be young and in the mood for somethings else. ED itself hasn't changed much in the last 18 months (apart from superficialities such as Foxton's etc etc - but as that replaced a council offices I doubt you are missing out too much on the excitement front there)

    • Leon has come out at short notice to sort a few electrical things for me. Efficient, reliable, friendly and knowledgeable, I highly recommend him.  Thanks Leon.
    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
