So in addition to our car being keyed again in the last week or so while parked on Melbourne Grove (right near Lordship lane), it has now also had the driver side wing mirror smashed in. This looks very deliberate and was on the pavement side of the car, like someone just walked past and punched it. I discovered this yesterday morning whilst getting in the car to take my dad to the airport and spent much of the ride convincing him that East Dulwich is really a lovely place to live, and is really very safe, we just seem to have a major problem with car vandals. I'm so angry and going to have to shell out for a new wing mirror now on top of fixing the two spots where it has been keyed. We have reported this to the police now and I would encourage anyone else who has had even minor vandalism to their cars to do the same, as I hope that will help them take it all seriously.

Same here.... 3 times now, keying (a lovely little flower painting and a long scratch on the roof), denting and now they tried smashing the windscreen (left a little hole). Also someone drove into it and there are big dents on the roof. Different locations - Lordship Lane near Pellatt Road, on Pellatt Road and now also opposite Colwell Road which I thought must be safer as away from the pub.I just bought the car without a scratch a month ago and it's now looking really rough. It's just a silver polo, nothing fancy but it's really annoying - especially if they try to smash windscreens now....

    • Without doubt a busy road with constant traffic - but can always put in double glazing. If you have a car, don’t expect to park right outside - prob further away but with walking distance. Agree with PeckhamNicola re train times and freight but at least not wizzing by every few minutes! Sorry but little experience in state schools - obviously you have plenty of private - Jags Dulwich College, Alleyns. Judith Kerr on Half Moon Lane - good rep - no idea whether secondary or primary  - think primary. Also Charter School North - good reputation and Ark Evelyn - no idea! You might also look at West Dulwichand Crystal Palace Schools. Try Harris Academy as well. All the best.
    • It shouldn't be a difficult DIY job. Replacement cylinders are available here are a couple  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/236294046742  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/177388193151 What is the make and model of your chair?? Unless its a Herman Miller then its worth fixing but some other may not be worth it.
    • Returning to the question, although still not directly answering I'm afraid as ive not lived on that road: I have previously lived in a house where the railway line was behind the house and over a playing field, and also in a flat blocked from the railway line by at least one more block worth of houses. I would not live that close to a railway line again. In the house the noise with the windows open always disturbed me at night. And you need to bear it mind it is not just the timetables of passenger trains you need to consider, at night time there could be freight trains too. That was my problem in the flat: not noise, I was shielded from that, but the weight of the freight trains passing made the whole building shake enough to wake me up. If you are a sounder sleeper or less sensitive to noise it could be fine. I would suggest checking if freight trains use that route though.
    • Thanks TWB, that is all really useful. However, if  memory serves, The Fox Project actually directed me to The Fox Angels when I phoned them, and had no facilities in this area for sending anybody out themselves. They seem to be based in Tunbridge Wells. The Greenwich Wildlife Network also just suggests other organisations who may help in certain situations. To the best of my knowledge, however, for situations involving foxes, including injured or ill  foxes, Fox Angels are the only people who have someone available very locally who can come out virtually immediately (I waited maybe half an hour after I phoned them). The person who came had all the necessary equipment to move the fox, was very gentle and caring, and took the fox to a local vet (it sadly died). It's possible that if you phoned a local vet they would help, if you could get the fox there. The RSPCA has guidelines on what to do if you find an  animal in need,  however although they have recently had a campaign on this (and sent me a badge and a copy of the guidelines on a pocket sized card) I can't find them online. I attach a photo. Don't know if the QR code would work from a photo.
