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 suspense is killing me. And I don't even like Tesco 🤣 and I can't remember the last time I used an ATM 🤣
    • If you like very good quality South Asian food then Babur in Brockley is offering a well priced, for what it is, Christmas day menu with sensitively priced reductions for a more limited children's menu. They also have a compelling wine list and their specialist cocktails are phenomenal. Not traditional Christmas fare, but then that might be an additional recommendation.

    • Dear families,   My name is Eleanor. I’ve worked in NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for the past eight years, and I’m about to begin an Infant Observation course in preparation for psychotherapy training. I’m looking for a baby to observe as part of this training.   The observation involves me visiting a baby and their parent for one hour a week over two years, with the aim of deepening my understanding of early emotional and developmental processes. Taking part is a generous contribution to the training of future child psychotherapists — ultimately supporting the mental health of children and families.   Both of my own children were observed as babies, which I found to be a really positive experience. Having an observer gently witness my babies’ development helped me notice their weekly changes in a new way, and I came to appreciate the calm, consistent presence of a trained observer. I was sad when the observations ended!   If you — or someone you know — is expecting a baby due before the end of February*, I would love to hear from you. You can contact me at +44 7977 910018 or [email protected].   Best wishes, Eleanor
