In my view, the painted signs - stating the name of the relevant road - on the facades/sides of houses in ED have great character and lend great charm to the area as a whole. Although there are plenty of these signs the vast majority are worn/illegible.


Perhaps this has been discussed before but, personally, I think it would be great for owners/the council to re-paint these where appropriate/permitted. It would preserve the distinctive nature of ED (I do not know of any other areas in London which have retained these signs) and it would permit the removal of some visual pollution (modern signs/signposts).


For those who wish to see what they could like I note that the 'Chesterfield Grove' and 'Melbourne Grove' signs have been re-painted on two of the houses at that junction and they look great.

I agree - think this is a great idea. Maybe James Barber could help in terms of whether this is something the council can do?


I'd also love to know if anyone has the number of someone who can do the painted house numbers outside individual houses. There are a couple of houses on Melbourne Grove with this but I am yet to track down anyone who knows how to do it.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
