It's nice in WD, not spectacular, not 'trendy', not 'edgy', it's nice - I can go into all the shops, restaurants, the bank, I know everyone by name and they know me by name. I can go into a branch of HSBC anywhere and they know my name (as it comes up on the screen when they go into my account), but they don't know that I've just had a spinal operation, or that my niece has just had a baby or that the neighbours have got builders in; if I haven't got enough money in the deli or the hairdresser or the bakery it doesn't matter, they know that I'll settle up with them as soon as I can - so yes I love living in WD, I've done the whole Islington bargain (when it was still the cheap one on the Monopoly board) and saw it rise from the ashes; I like the fact that I can go into the deli and not get laughed at and insulted if I mispronounce the name of a salami (as happened in the ED Deli) - although I'm not quite so sure I should be on first name terms with the guys in the off licence....

What's funny is that no one has said anything negitive about West Dulwich. It is indeed nice, it's just not what you'd call lively.

I used to go there to use the tip. West Dulwich has been dead to me since. Except as a useful cut-through to Streatham.
