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)

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
