Hi, I'm new to this forum and soon to be new to East Dulwich - been a long time admirer of the area. :-) I'm going to be renting an absolutely amazing flat in Barry Road near the traffic lights and with a view of Peckham Rye - I just wondered what the area is like that end? I currently live in Forest Hill, and have lived in Sydenham and I do know the Lordship Lane area of ED, but this is a new end of the area to me. Is there much trouble in the area? And what kind of age group rent flats in Barry Road? (Hope it's not too specific a question!)


Anyway, am looking forward to being your new neighbour and getting to know you all on the forum, and would love to hear your comments about where I'm moving to... Thanks.

Hey Ocean


Welcome to Barry Road, I also live at that end and its a great location. Age groups around here are pretty mixed and most folks seem friendly, I haven't experienced/seen any bother/trouble. The best things about Barry Road...in no particular order


a) Barry's supermarket - love that shop they sell absolutely everything and the staff are wonderful

b) the view of the Rye

c) view of the Church

d) free parking

e) easy access to lots of public transport

f) The Clockhouse Pub

g) The Plough Pub - especially when Keith is playing:))


Enjoy!

    • I was surprised to learn that East Dulwich Picturehouse now only screens PG-rated films for their baby-friendly showings, unlike other Picturehouse branches. Apparently, this change happened after a complaint to the council about showing films above a PG rating to infants. Afaik, this policy only applies to this  branch. As a local parent, I find this frustrating. It limits our options, especially when many of us would love the chance to watch a wider range of films while caring for our little ones. For example, during Oscar Week, only one vintage film is being shown. Are we really expected to only consume toddler-focused content, like Cocomelon? I also worry about the precedent this sets. If other institutions, like the Tate or the National Portrait Gallery, applied similar restrictions, parents could be left with only child-oriented content. Babies under one don’t fully comprehend adult themes, so shouldn’t there be more flexibility? I’d love to hear what others think—should this policy be reconsidered?
    • I am a secondary teacher in the local area and totally agree that it’s so important for teenagers to be given a space to connect and learn skills. I think it’s lovely that they’ve been able to do this organically due to the carpark being derelict but it defeats the very concept of dynamic urban living to use this as a reason to block the development of the space into something that could benefit the whole community. I would really welcome an entrepreneur bringing a proposal forward that thinks about how we could best make the space work for everyone. I’d also love to see the council engage with the kids themselves on how and where to make the skate park permanent, perhaps in Dulwich Park itself. Give them some funding to make it nicer than a space by such a busy traffic route. I also agree we shouldn’t romanticise the skate park - they’re not principals in the Royal Ballet Company. I don’t think it’s hugely affecting the community, but let’s not pretend there isn’t some underage drinking and drug use going on there. But mainly the building itself is a waste of space and it’s often depressing to see the private security company vans parked out there late at night. Let’s use it as an opportunity to engage in conversations about what this part of Lordship Lane really needs. 
    • This kind of thing? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/286379655798?_skw=vw+front+radar&itmmeta=01JNGWMJGWJBG0HRT2XS211T68&hash=item42ad8ec276:g:ZHUAAOSwJdFnxhF9&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA8FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1dY%2BfrruzZmTdah0d0nXmXVc9FNiTWblTNNY8jXn37QS%2BAVkwkKSljysp3AMj48HKn63sLwl6BYEqy685rlqwWykTX8It5nPW2FAOfewwqb0iEuSPS6%2BmFgBLH75xBeWGHsV%2BgkvvBmlxApgnovZUAVP7QA6XPgyIZDu54SPmrp0v5AtIDU8Mg4O7QJ5gZF%2FBfgePNdu0vc2xLzsSBPoF1Wh84K6OElw3PZl585iPqbaEIvTGa9J3glnIrh5i4SwrG8SmrOtb9gMt3%2Bovwifcz%2FC5GaC59xp%2FP%2B2iKeJcsw5w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBMgqnSnKxl
