Hi

we are a family of 3, live in ED and absolutely love it.

However we are considering moving in order to be able to buy a bigger place, in view of an expanded family.. ED property prices are just crazy!

Does anybody know how Crystal Palace is and how schools are?

Thanks for any comment/advice

Hello, I really like Crystal Palace. I don't live there but for years I've used the area on my running routes! It has a very nice feel. I think it would be a great place to live. The high street is lovely, great park, sports centre and transport on the overground is meant to be good.

Hi there. I moved to Sydenham Hill last November from East Dulwich. It wasn't an easy move, as like you, I loved East Dulwich. Then I discovered Crystal Palace! Its fab and will definitely move there when my contract ends! Its got a fantastic park with a dinosaur trail and city farm, fab antique shops, great cafes/bars/restaurants, which are all buzzing even during weeknights. Really nice chilled out vibe as you're walking around the area. Sometimes ED can be a bit hectic and stuck-up but Crystal Palace is a little gem.


Haven't looked into schools yet but heard there are a few great ones to choose from e.g. Eliot Bank and Kelvin Grove.


Good luck!

Eliot Bank and kelvin grove will be out of the catchment area as crystal palace comes under another borough.Sydenham HIll is just about still in the borough of lewisham.Virtual Norwood forum may get you more info on schools as crystal palace is on the border of 3 boroughs.

      The Mansion Tax

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!

      I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
