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.

    • I may be a scrooge but to pay over £100 plus for a meal is a bit much. I understand that staff costs would be a high factor in this price and that being no transport on Christmas Day - pubs may have to pay car hire fees. The café in Christ Church will be doing a 3 course meal in the run up to Christmas for around £30 per head (Booking essential) so to charge an additional £60 plus seems somewhat unreasonable. The past few years, there have only been the 2 of us on Christmas Day, so we lash out and buy a lot of M & S food - ready prepared or with minimal cooking at a cost of between £30 and £40. We host the family Boxing Day onwards (8 - 10 people) spending around £60 on food and drink. Rather spend £100 for food etc over a couple of days rather than £200 for one meal. We are fortunate that we have the finances  to do this as many people are not able to do this. One family member with young children would find it hard to spend even £10 on a Christmas meal. Our kids come armed with plastic boxes to all family meals to take home any leftovers - so we are left with minimal waste- any veg and meat  get made into soup.
    • That would be Dulwich Wood ward wouldn’t it? One of the wards Southwark added Nov ‘23. Maybe the estate against didn’t get the memo. Oh man what a shit show. 
    • If anyone had half an ounce of intelligence they would vote for the Green Party or a real socialist alternative. I have never, and will never back a bunch of ‘champagne socialists’ who have not done a single positive thing for working class people.    Louisa. 
    • That the leaders of our country are wealthy people comes as a shock to you? How ridiculous.  Why shouldn’t they be living in those houses?
