How would you compare East Dulwich vs Wimbledown (town not village)?

Prices are comparable, maybe slighlty more expensive in Wimbledon, but it really depends on the streets.

My perception is that:

- East Dulwich has a more villagey feel / sense of community

- Nicer high-street / shops in ED vs chains of Wimbledon, however in Wimbledon town you can really find everything

- Wimbledon has better / more consistent transport link options, even though the commute to the City seems comparable in time if not slightly better from ED

- Both areas seem to attract families and young-professionals, however Wimbledon seems a bit more white / less-diverse than Dulwich (I also think Wimbledon is Tory vs ED is Labour)

- More international community in Wimbledon / more people with education abroad - ED seems more a British area

- Both offer good primary schools, but with very small catchment areas


Do you agree with this? Any other ideas?

I've lived in both. Comapring apples and pears. Wimbledon is sprawling, lacks any sort of central hub to it. Traffic is a nightmare. Pubs are pretty poor - generally but not all. Probably easier to find schools for kids though. ED does have a more local feel although this is changing too. I'd pick ED everytime.

    • Hopefully the Canada Geese were being culled - I'm being serious.  It's permitted
    • You might be interested in watching this video on you tube. It's from a wildlife gardener called Joel Ashton who regularly posts about his work in that area. Being interested in that kind of thing I follow him a lot. Anyway, a few days ago he posted about his plants being deliberately poisoned allegedly by his neighbour. He is going through the process of taking legal action and videoing this journey. There is another follow up which he posted a couple of days ago . It might be helpful to you. I think I should point out that the alleged culprit is not identified on the video so not breaking any privacy laws in sharing this.  
    • Around ten days ago there were around 6 Mallard ducklings and the same number of Canada Goose goslings. Today, not one to be seen 😥
