I moved to this area at the end of November last year, previously I lived near Alleyns School. I much prefer where I am now. As mentioned, easy access to 3 stations and a fairly quiet location - my only noise complaint has been from foxes in the back garden. Also close to Bellenden Road.


I've yet to have any issues nor feel unsafe walking to and from East Dulwich Station through Dog Kennel Hill estate at any time of day. In general it's usually pretty deserted walking along Quorn Road.

I lived on Ivanhoe Rd for five years. Although not necessarily the most attractive street, it's one of the most conveninent locations in the area. An easy walk to Camberwell, Lordship Lane, Bellenden Rd or Rye Lane. Denmark Hill and ED stations both pretty close. Shame the pub's gone.


Walked through the estate every day without incident. Kept my (fairly new/nice-ish) car parked outside the house without any problems. The only real downside was that it's pretty noisy between Bromar Road and Avondale Rise with buses, emergency vehicles, and boy racers.

Ivanhoe Road is great, especially the northern end. Not on the way to anywhere, so very quiet. Bang in between all the various high streets you'd want to be and a good choice for transport.


Those houses which back onto the railway are bigger than they look, and have that cheeky additional bit of railway garden. On the other side, the gardens are a bit crap.


Slightly cheaper cabs due to SE5 postcode.

Just moved a 10 min walk away, the other side of bellenden rd. Would have quite happily stayed on Ivanhoe Rd if the right house had come up. As cle says, the north end is quieter, with bigger gardens. But it's all fine.


There are lots of nice roads around... Grove Hill Rd is really nice. Oglander/Ondine Rd and the side roads off them are good. It's all in the eye of the beholder I guess. But in terms of being in the middle of all the good stuff, Ivanhoe rd is perfect.

Are you on what I have heard described as the 'Champs Elys?e of Peckham', Choumert Grove ?


My second favourite local estate agentism, after any Wooster & Stock descriptions.

I have lived in the north end of Ivanhoe road for over 30 years and it is very friendly and great place to live. The houses get sun from the back in the morning as it is east and the front in the afternoon (west). Or vice-versa on the other side of the road. The garden gets lots of sun, obviously it depends on whether you have big fences trees etc.

      Just found these matches!

      By Sue · Posted

      Off topic (ish) but does anyone else remember when Blue Mountain opened? They had chocolate coated coffee beans and a range of coffee beans sold loose, and I can't remember whether it was freshly baked  bread or rolls or croissants or  something else, but my then partner used to go and buy it/them in the morning. And behind the part with the counter, it was divided into several little rooms, all different colours and styles. There was another room upstairs, though I can't remember if that was open from the beginning  It was great. It went through many incarnations after that, before eventually sadly closing, but I liked the first one best. Also off topic (ish) there was a Greek? Turkish? deli opposite. My then partner bought some yoghurt there once, and when he got it home he found it was months (I think) past its sell by date. He took it back. The guy in the shop opened it up, looked at it, sniffed it and said "There's nothing wrong with that." 😂

      However, some would particularly like to avoid reviews of the 'there are far too many mice'; 'the cakes are deteriorating badly' nature. If you consider that a 'Negative Nelly' response. My experience was that the hot drinks and the varieties of e.g. teas on offer, were generally a positive element. As were the staff serving.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      The hare krishna restaurant is called Govindas and still going strong in Soho Street, a different establishment to the one that used to be (still is?) in Hanway Street. I must go back to Govindas some time

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Spartacus · Posted

      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 ?
