I sadly have to leave East Dulwich due to crazy rents. I've been looking at Nunhead which is more affordable, but I'm unsure about safety at the station. What are your thoughts? I went to view a property at 2pm on Saturday and walked past the station to check it out and I was nearly mugged (boy on bike with hood up came from behind and blocked me in - I think he thought I was on the phone - realised I wasn't and went off) . Not a good first impression. Was I unlucky or is this a problem in the area?


Any thoughts appreciated - especially from a woman's point of view coming home late at night.

I have lived in Nunhead for more than 30 years and used Nunhead station almost daily for most of that time, although less so in the past 4 years since retiring. I think it is safer now than in the past due to much better lighting in the "tunnel", but if I were coming home alone really late at night then I would probably take the bus rather than the train. Personally I don't think Nunhead is any less safe than any other part of London. Maybe I have just been lucky, but I have never had any problems relating to my personal safety in Nunhead or around the station .

    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down! 
    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
