there's a brand new halls of residence just opened at the top of champion hill behind sainsbury's. it looks incredibly plush compared to my old digs.

i think having this and students milling about is great as modern students, with the advent of hyper-inflated tuition fees, tend to be less destructional. i like the student-vibe of university areas.

i'd advise to give new students a break if they're a bit noisy at first, if it persists then have a word.

For God's sake don't call the noise team without at least having a word. You say they seem like nice people, so try just being friendly and reasonable and hopefully they'll return the favour.


Agree with Quids though, ED is not the type of place I'd have wanted to live when I was a student.

Apparently 20 is the new 40. The youth of today are mild - all cupcakes and laughing gas. East Dulwich is the perfect place for them innit.

Brixton is cheaper than ED nowadays!


This part of town is actually a lot younger and less family oriented than it seems. Almost 20% of people who live here are between 18 and 29. Also, almost half of households are childless!


There are 5,300 households (with 12,000 individual people).


There are 1,600 single person households the vast majority of which are young

We've got another 455 married but no children couples

Then another 615 co-habitating couples with no kids.


That's basically half of ED that don't live with or don't have children.


Perhaps I should open a business to cater for all these free and easy youngsters!

Since they stopped getting free tuition and grants to spend on books beer and rollies.


I realise a lot of parents are actually footing bills but when I went it was not just free but you got spending money too! Irresponsibility, noise pollution and getting on everyone's tits was par for the course.

Last night our student neighbours had a party with 30 or so. Wasn't too bad at first and we initially decided to tolerate them (freshers week after all). Eventually their party spilled into the garden and front of the house, the rubbish music was turned up. At 1.30am our patience finally ran out, and we went next door and politely told them to pipe down. Apologies were muttered (by the few who were still sober) but it was an hour later before things finally calmed down (in fact, it got nosier before it got quieter).


This morning I found used cigarettes and a half eaten apple in our garden which I promptly threw back.


The previous sets of student neighbours were much quieter but this lot seems a tad unruly. We will likely tolerate their behaviors for the time being, at least until term starts, but in the mean time we've started a log.


I can't wait until they find out that my other half is a course director at their university.

SouthwarK (and I'm sure other boroughs) were pratically giving away places in Tower Blocks under Hard to Let in the 80s! Plus the more adventorous squatted - there used tp be loads of squats up the World'S End end of the Kings Road too John. We just rented slummy flats off the infamous Jewish brothers who used to own 1000s of houses converted into cheap flats in North London in (then) all pretty grotty Kensal Green, west Hampstaed, Queens Park, Tuffnell Park, Chalk Farm, Camden, Hornsey,etc etc

Is part of the problem that you don't like their taste in music? Perhaps your neighbours might think that you like 'rubbish music'! Mind you, it must be very grim indeed to be faced with something as unpleasant as a half eaten apple in your front garden - some of these young people need stringing up.

I don't listen to music. But the music being rubbish isn't the biggest problem. It certainly isn't as big a deal as the fact that it was played loudly at 1.30 AM - a fact you seem happy to exclude.


As for the half eaten apple, well, I tend to eat them all, or throw them into my bin (or compost bin) - it's something I do with waste. Not into someone else's back garden, along with their spent cigarettes.


Seeing as you don't seem to mind food being thrown into people's back garden, I would gladly come over to your place the next time I need to empty my food bin. PM me your address and I will sort out the rest.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
