My friend who I've known since primary school used to live on Fenwick Grove, and it's always been SE15 in our lifetime, so that's 30 odd years. Don't know about before that.


I do remember in the early 90s they were talking about expanding SE15 so it would have included parts of Lordship Lane at the Goose Green end. My sister had a Saturday job in a shop at the time and her boss and all the local business owners were freaking about about it.

I've been here since 1973 in a street next to Fenwick Rd. All streets north of East Dulwich Rd have been SE15 during that time and I have no knowledge of a postcode change before that.

Before 2002 the streets between McDermott Rd and East Dulwich Road (now in the heart of the area called 'Bellenden') were in the same ward - Bellenden(!) Ward - as the SE22(!) streets from East Dulwich Rd to North Cross Road!

Bellenden Ward disappeared in 2002 and was replaced in the north half with The Lane Ward, and in the south half by Peckham Rye Ward and the East Dulwich Ward (boundary along Crystal Place Road).

All these are boundaries that divide these local natural neighourhoods between parliamentary constituencies and Community Councils as well as Wards...

The woman I'm writing about was born in Fenwick Road so we are going back about 90 years! I do remember seeing deeds to a house for Fenwick Road once that said East Dulwich on it, not Peckham! So anyone living in Fenwick Road, check your deeds and you might be able to claim that you actually live in East Dulwich!!!!

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
