since mumtaz shut down the place has never been the same ... for all those lovers of local stores on this forum that was the post office i shall never forget.


i lived in nunhead for about 2 years last century (quite literally), in the bad old days of the P3. for all those who don't remember the P3 you are lucky. it was the bus spotted that graced its' route so rarely there were near riots in elephant when trying to get on. i felt cut off and in the middle of nowhere. i have never really liked nunhead since. when we bought over a year ago i decided to max out on the mortgage and not have to deal with living there again. that said east dulwich was still affordable, just.


sorry but i really just don't like the place. however, did you know that it is london's smallest post code district...

yes it is, also it is due to have a bellenden regeneration - smarten up the main drag of shops. I reckon it is a good bet, however the bellenden area is still excellent value and very close to transport and LL. Trouble is, they are all 3 bed terraces (that's why we have just reluctanctly moved from there)could always get a lovely loft converstion....
Nunhead is a great place. Get involved locally and then you won't have to worry whether it's OK to live here or not. Go to one of the Nunhead Forum, Nunhead Residents Association, Commununity Forum meetings or start something of your own. Lots of things are happening here, and in September there will be another Arts week. Remember, Nunhead appeared in TimeOut recently!
I think Nunhead will rise in terms of popularity if some money was put into regenerating the shopping area and this would need better parking in the eighties the area had a strong community feel but the ara lost many of its focal points due to underfunding by the council however it has potential with some right sensible planning.

    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
    • Dawson Heights again  2 lifts out of order at ladlands block Christmas Eve so of course the 🛗 will not be repaired tomorrow Christmas Day or Boxing Day or when how do elderly or mothers with children and prams and food and presents get to the floors and with the 10 minutes you get to drop off  to park and not get a Pcn fine and delivery food to relatives who can’t leave their house unbelievable Southern housing does any know email address of Coe of southern housing 
    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
