You made the right choice - ED has all the gentle elegance of Tooting combined with the edginess of Hampstead.

Good answer!


You'll do well on this forum, friend.


Welcome.

Welcome to ED! IMO one of the nice things about ED is that you have lots of diverse neighbourhoods on your doorstep, each with its own gems in terms of things to see/eat/drink.


Dulwich Village for a genteel environment, world class gallery, nice old pub

Peckham for bars, good places to eat, cheap cinema, nightlife, and the best patisserie for miles around

Camberwell for several excellent restaurants, plus a pub with a crazy cider selection

Plus good places to eat and drink in Herne Hill, Forest Hill... hell, even Nunhead.

Not to mention Lordship Lane of course.

Hi there! My boyfriend and I have also just moved to the area from Scotland! Going really well so far, people are lovely and East Dulwich is just a beautiful place with a real sense of community. We are still finding our feet but a great pub we have discovered is the Lions Head, great food, lovely beers and really nice people. Good luck with the move and anything we can help with, just ask!

    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ? 
    • Sadly, a lot of businesses didn't invite reviews on the EDF at that time due to a number of "negative nellies" that would take delight in posting unfavourable comments, often despite never being to the business in question.  No matter how good the place was, some posters would find fault that wasn't there "don't lile the colour of the bidet set in the private bathroom, avocado 😅" Can hardly blame businesses at the time for not wanting reviews on here, thankfully that has mostly changed now.   
    • Was that the Hare Krishna place? I can't remember exactly where it was (or maybe still is) but it was somewhere around Oxford Street.
    • The "for sale" section on this forum lets people offer things for free or cheaply. And the "wanted" section let's people ask for things they want or need, for free or cheaply. There are also existing schemes like Freecycle, and also local  food banks. And there is (or was) a local scheme where you can bring things to be repaired free. I think it is/was based in Nunhead. Isn't that simpler than having a barter system? You might have something to give away, but the person who wants it might not have anything you want. Or have I misunderstood how it works? I can see that offering services free might not fit into existing schemes, but depending on what they were, what would happen if things went horribly wrong eg someone wrecked your house? Sorry if the above sounds very negative.
