Hello everyone. My girlfriend and I are moving to East Dulwich in October and are looking forward to joining the community.

I'll keep an eye on all here for any info and discussions.

Are you moving from Clapham?

moving in with my better half. I'm Hampstead and she's Tooting so we wanted to find somewhere which combined the characteristics of both.

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

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.

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!
