Obviously people like living in ED but to suggest it's one of the best places to live because it's getrifying is just nonsense. There are many places in London besides the five listed that fulfil the qualifying catagories better than those five to get onto the list. Like I said, the list is compiled and aimed at a certain demographic. It's not negative to say that.

if we are to believe in "supply and demand" dictating house prices, then East Dulwich clearly is not one of the most desirable place to live in London. In fact it lies quite low on the list versus other boroughs.


a lot of journalists live round here, of child bearing age... so it fits their criteria


I personally like the area as it suits my own personal needs, but to say it's the most desirable area makes me question their judgement.


it's a relatively 'cheap' area.


entertaining read though.


also, anyone who wants prices to go up is kidding themselves. Unless you're living in your forever house (which most ppl aren't) then we're the fools...


moreover, if you're in your dream home and you have kids... your kids are unlikely to benefit as they'll struggle to match their upbringing when you divide with your siblings and after tax


it's a false economy. nothing is good about house prices going up imo

I agree, if you don't like it here, act now!

I've lived here since 1991 and brought up my kids here (who wouldn't want to live anywhere else... Good luck with that). It was a bit of a shit hole when we moved here from Kennington, and now I'm pretty incredulous at the prices. If I was 30 now with a baby and a decent but not great job, I don't think I could move to what was then a run down and out of the way suburb...

It's already happening.


Nunhead appears to be rapidly going the same way as East Dulwich, including rocketing house prices ...... :(

I also moved here in 1991, and I think it's unfair to call it "a bit of a shit hole."


It may have been a bit run down, but it was (and is) near parks and woods and other green spaces, which was my main reason for moving here.



I've lived in ED since 1987 and have noticed the changes since then, most of which have been for the better.


It was relatively cheap in 1987, which is why we moved here from Greenwich. However, to describe ED as "relatively cheap" is surely questionable, given the house prices and the price tags in so many of the upmarket shops. I suppose, though, that it's "relatively cheap" compared with Kensington or Hampstead.

In London these days 'relatively cheap' means recently gentrified or about to be gentrified, which accounts for probably 2/3 of inner London boroughs. To get real value for money anywhere close to the rest of the country you need to be looking at boroughs like Bexley, Barking & Dagenham, Croydon.

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
