Serious Sexual Assaults in East Dulwich


Recommended Posts

Has anyone else seen the witness signs for the serious sexuals assaults which recently happened in ED? I think one was on Forest Hill Rd somewhere between the Herne Tavern and the Clockhouse, and the other was somewhere on Barry Rd. I haven't seen the board myself, but heard from a friend that the assaults were done by a gang. Very worrying. Has anyone else got any details? No news of this on south london press website..yet.
Having lived in ED for 9 years and then having moved out last summer, I definitely got the impression that ED was getting more aggro, I think in all the time I lived there I saw a policeman walking on foot once, but I saw more fights after pub time and general potential situations in the last year that I had previously.

Like you Paul I too feel fairly safe around ED, I hope this does not change.


I'm female, so news of serious sexual assaults is of concern. It would be interesting to hear from any other girls if they've felt at all threatened in the area, and if so where. As the assaults appear to be near Peckham Rye Park it is just a sensible thought to all you fellow joggers (that go round, and round..) to let someone know your run route and ETA home, etc and not have the tunes turned up too high. Not that I'm paranoid, just want gels (and boys) to be careful. :)

It was on Saturday 21 Oct - three hooded 18-20-year-olds pursued the 31-year-old woman as she left The Plough on Barry Road at around 5pm. They assaulted her at Parklands and followed her to her home in Forest Hill. I don't know whether she knew any of them, but probably not, as the newspaper report didn't mention it.

It's naive for anyone to allow themselves the luxury of thinking ED is a safe place to live. After all we still live in London and have high crime area's such as Peckham right next door to us. ED does appear a safe place, but it's only when your ignorance overtakes your self awareness that you will get yourself into a tight spot with some scummy rapist.


Be careful out there, London is London.

Well thank you Mr Kiwi. Once again your daily mail-esque scaremongerring views never cease to amaze us all.


I for one will no longer be leaving my house for fear of the "scummy rapists" of london.


Your words of widsom are greatly appeciated we, the un"ED"ucated, are eternally greatful.


N.

Bob's got a point. If there's a mean and spiteful exchange on the forum Quaywe's always a part of it, pretending he's not.


However he does add a certain thrill, and I know the site would be a less interesting place without him; he only tells us because he cares. He doesn't realise when he's being hurtful ;-)

Mean, spiteful? Moi? Huguenot you could be right, maybe I just don't realise how my comments are being interpreted when read on a forum such as this. It must be my Kiwi view on the world that maybe doesn't fit into the British way. If I was English I'd probably be apologising now but I'm not, so I won't. I'll just carry on entertaining those with a sense of humor and offending those without.


:)

Fantastic! With every post mrED continues to turn into a parody of himself, without even a hint of self-awareness. He's an entertainer! He cares!.. and shares!.. he tells it like it is, goddammit - and he won't cow-tow to The Uptight Brit because he's, er, from New Zealand (or something).

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
