The downsides of living in or near a vibrant area of shops, restaurants and pubs is that these are, on occasion, noisy, sometimes even dirty. The upside is living in a vibrant area of shops, restaurants and pubs. Every silver lining has a cloud.


At least such disruption is (reasonably) anticipated through location. Far worse is to live in a quiet suburban area with no shops or pubs, and find long, raucous parties being held nightly ? to which you haven?t been invited.

Sorry to state the obvious, but you need to pick a street that's close enough to the attractions but far enough away to be quiet. The streets north of Dulwich Park between Lordship Lane and Dulwich Village are perfect for this (Woodwarde,Beauval Rd etc). Almost rurally quiet but 5 mins walk from ED bars and shops, 3 mins from the park and 5 from the village.


The only problem is that they are full of golf jumpers, sunday morning car washers and retired headmasters.

I love being a block away from the 'action' and the realisation grows. I wouldn't want to be in Mamora/top end of Overhill/Friern eetc even with the bigger space. I think I'd raelly miss it being 100 yards away. (and the noise doesn't get down that far).


You know I'm a bit of a fan of Dovercourt etc MrB but I think i'd miss being one street off the lane if we moved......and I'm not spending ?1.25m on a doer-upper :)

    • tried the traditional beef empanada yesterday and it was amazing honestly, hotter and better than the other place (no offence!). I really don’t see the issue with having more than one of the same type of shop – we’ve got Indian restaurants, two supermarkets, two cheese shops, two pizza joints, even two paint shops! So I don’t get what all the fuss is about. Good food is good food, and there’s room for everyone.
    • I understand you access ancestry from any Southwark library computer. Or see the real post office directories in archive. 
    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.
