I see the house in Lordship Lane with the artwork all over it has been boarded up. This is where the artists resided who painted the murals on the walls of buildings around East Dulwich. They also spent time painting the walls inside and outside the house. I think the house is to be demolished but it occurs to me that the house with its murals may be worth a bit! Hope a big mistake isn't being made here.

The house was used to host the street art event in 2013 and was decorated ahead of being demolished as a temporary exhibit. At the time of its painting all the artists understood it was going to be demolished and that was part of the appeal. Also, I don't think any of the artists ever lived there.



The owners kindly allowed the Dulwich Festival to host a major event there but the plot will be used for new residential housing in the area.

Yes, I did mean the house next to the Fred Francis day centre. Thanks LondonMix for explaining about the artists being aware of the demolition. That would make sense as they knew that no-one was going to profit from their work. They probably just had a jolly good time and lots of fun. I believe it was open to the public for a short while but I didn't get to see it. Art is subjective and I can understand why some people wouldn't enjoy street art but not sure that Lowlander is right in saying it's not worth anything, even if he does consider it an eyesore. These artists were commissioned by the Dulwich Picture Gallery so they must have some standing in the artistic community. I think I will miss seeing it there as it was a bit quirky and always made me smile!

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
