Sorry, but the missus moved jobs and the ED commute was hell for her. Then we decided to escape the rat race for a while and become ski instructors for a couple of years. Soon, back to reality though. Ew.


It's a very nice part of W13. Sort of the East Dulwich of the West. Except it has a tube station.

I never wanted to leave ED but alas circumstance forced my hand. My family has however settled in really nicely out here.


Me, well I ride a skateboard to work, do yoga and think comic books are an art form. What in the name of all the gods am I doing in Surrey?


I am pretty good at drinking wine and speaking to people about their jobs in venues as monochrome as the audis parked outside. It is afterall a professional necessity. But fuck me if I'm not getting sick of doing it for 'fun'.

Well it's comforting to know that I'll be in good company then!


Brendan, we are moving to Surrey, technically speaking, though I'm still thinking of it as London...


Loz, MrTwirly has a similar plan as I can't find anything similar where we're going. Every area should have it's own version of the EDF!


Anyway, we're only 40 minutes away in the car, am sure we'll be back over occasionally. And I can keep an eye out on here for the latest "in" places to book for lunch when we do...

You saw me on the bus you fucker, and didn't say hello?? (oh wait, did you mean Annasfield?)


I been up east hanging with the hipsters, but still around and about. Saw that Otta one in EDT the other night.

My post count has trended downwards for a long time now, so it?s entirely possible the move might tip me over


But it wouldn?t be a ?I no longer live here, so long suckers? flounce ? it would be more of a ?dear Lord but it hasn?t been fun posting on here for a looong time and god knows it?s only habit and the occasional flurry of activity from the more intelligent posters that keeps me coming back, but they constitute a diminishing percentage of the forum population so really, why do I do it?? type thing


And even having said that ? it?s still better than any other locale-based forum I?ve come across

Left ED over 18th months ago and still occasionally visit - that's both the forum and the area. I'll certainly still post about particular bug bears or favourites and as I do come and see friends it is good to know where to eat and what to do when I am here - although some of my friends seem to find it slightly annoying that I know more about the area when I am many miles away than they do when they still live here.

I left ED when I joined the RAF in 1954.

Still look back with fond memories

I was born in Jennings Rd, lived there through the war, went to Heber Rd school when it had a bell tower. When I look at Google street maps, I know it's 60yrs ago, but I have trouble recognising places. Hey Ho, would like to come back sometime

Left in 1998 after 4 years, came back in 2002 and left last April (26th) after 12 years.


Lurk and titter probably every other day. ED has changed too much for me to miss it too much, but I wish there was a Goose Green play park near me!


There are quite a few ex-ED where I live now strangely!


Loz, I had no idea you had left!!

You wouldn't believe the prices!

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
