Bambuni have got a bar night tomorrow, and an incredible seleciton of beers. I go most weeks and they still always seem to have new ones in.


No one has mentioned Ayres cronuts yet. Mmmm, cronuts.


(Telegraph is more Telegraph/New Cross Gate than Nunhead. But still v good.)

  • 2 weeks later...

so rahrahrah you say that quote "ED residents would be happy to say Nunhead is better if it makes them feel good"

thats very nice of you not at all patronising. still no one has said which one is better lets have a vote.

ed nv

east dulwich nunhead village, how you going to vote ???

I'm torn. Nunhead still has that traditional Peckham community spirit it's always had for many many years, something that gentrification doesn't appear to have damaged just yet. It also has the best independent bakers for miles around IMO, alongside a fishmonger, greengrocer and various other good quality independent shops. The historic cemetery and telegraph hill conservation area are both on the doorstep and Peckham Rye is a short walk, so no shortage of green space either. It's also still relatively affordable, compared to ED or PR areas which are now ridiculously overpriced. However, despite all the positives, I've always been a sucker for Dulwich Village and the park, and ED is closer to all that loveliness, uniquely green and rural for inner London. We will also be getting a cinema (an expensive one at that, but that's for another thread), and the feeling is that overall ED has (I'm at pains to say this) contributed to the improvements in surrounding areas such as Peckham and Nunhead. I think as long as the two areas keep their own personalities and do not merge into an SW postcode style of generic blandness, they will both have their charms.


Louisa.


I just wish the Telegraph had some couches and more comfortable chairs, but it is a great pub, and definitely over the border in Lewisham. The new Montague arms is fantastic, almost as good as the old. So very thankful it didn't get turned into flats! I actually quite like the Hollydale Tavern too,but I think that's just me.



Even though they're in different boroughs Telegraph Hill and Nunhead are basically the same neighborhood. If anything East Dulwich feels much further removed being on the other side of the park.

Neither!


Both are pretty similar as in they both have independent shops (if you can afford them). ED has more. It also has more pubs & eating places.


I can't remember the last time I shopped in either Lordship Lane or Evelina Rd.


Peckham surpasses both.

Louisa, Rudd's is still there as are the staff, they just changed the name due to the brother or sister cant remember taking it over, all still the same there though.... Its interesting to read the comments,my family and I have lived in Nunhead since 1935, when it was pretty much the same as it is now, of course the town houses were full of posh people and had servants etc.... the interesting thing is that East Dulwich was a place that you wouldn't have frequented in my younger days as it wasn't anywhere near what it is today, thankfully things have changed for the better. Peckham, especially Rye Lane, was the place to be, Department stores, independent traders, large chain stores and great market stalls, it was known as the golden mile, people would come from out side to shop as it was a great alternative to the West End. Things have changed and move and now we have more access to food from around the world at a great price. When I first heard of Peckham Village, I laughed my socks off, it was Bellenden Road!! A street you would not have walked down at night on your own, now its a fantastic place.

There are plenty of pubs, gastro pubs, take away's and fantastic independent traders offering better quality products, for the same price as the super markets.


The old pub /pizza bar will be come a coffee shop/wine bar and then a pub with food in the back, so you will have a choice and it will have more appeal to different families. There are rumours that it will have some B&B space up stairs, but that's just a rumour...


Im glad to say that as a family that has been born and bred in Nunhead and Peckham, I'm happy to live here and see great things happening.... oh and the village once was as this area used to be Kent in the olden days!!!

Have a great weekend...

I don't see the point of this thread. East Dulwich is well established and much bigger than my beloved Nunhead and I like it for different reasons.


I love living i SE15 because I have access to the vibrant and diverse communities that make up ED, eckham and Nunhead - also Brockley, New Cross, Honor Oak Park and Forest Hill. Lets just celebrate and support our local businesses and organisations wherever they are and stop trying to point score.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • 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".
