Er right...point of correction for you all.


The non descript block opposite the CPT was actually designed by a respected architect who was constrained in design by planning regulations but whose brief was to provide a number of comfortable, smaller energy efficent flats for singetons (for whom there is a shortage of housing apparently).


It did take a while to finish but was ready for occupation in early July this year and now all but one of the flats have been let (after 6 weeks). And SeanMLow I know you are in the trade but even your valuations of ?1900 pcm for a 2 bed are way off. And they are all 1 beds (bar one) and letting for around ?900-ish so get your facts right. Agents ! grrr...


Agree its a bit bland but it has made a lot more housing available on that plot to those who don't own a place. And its full of single people for anyone looking to pull.


And surely the police station is the worst 21st building!

Brendan - Should not to be confused with "affordable" housing schemes. Not sure anything is that affordable these days!


My point is only that it has created more housing in ED for the younger crowd. The alternative would have been to develop the existing house for private sale to 1 (reasonably well off judging by current prices) family....

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
