I have just been to have a look at them. They were vey nice (a lot better thought out than those futher up Dog Kennel Hill overlooking Sainsburys which were tiny and had the most bizarre lay out in the living area). The only problem with the ones by the station is that they do back directly onto the railway line and I don't know how noisy they would get.....Very pleasantly surprised as the 2 beds had 2 huge bathrooms and reasonable sized bedrooms although the view from the front not the most exciting over the back of the shops and the Vale! Very busy when I went so I guess they will go pretty sharpish.

The glossy brochure from Hamptons shows the train journey times from East Dulwich to a range of destinations, including Blackheath in 17 minutes. I defy anyone at Hamptons to find a way of getting from East Dulwich to Blackheath in 17 minutes by train, even with a quick hop across the platforms at Peckham Rye.

the website for the flats is here: http://gv15.co.uk/main.html


Quotes mention that the flats are located "in the heart of East Dulwich" and are "... the epitome of the urban ideal offering exclusive seclusion amidst the 24/7 buzz of the newly gentrified East Dulwich". Blimey!


I'm not sure about the contact us page which says "reasons not to buy" then has pictures of the apartments, the Sea Cow, the Vale and the rusty old lamp post on Goose Green roundabout. Curious marketing.

How much? That's staggering, especially taking into consideration the Railway noise and the general grottiness of the area.

And have you seen the size of the one beds on their site? I'm dure they're nice but I've seen larger bedsits.

This is scarey - boxy concrete flats on the site of an old leccy sub station, sandwiched between a bookies ona urine reeking back alley and a busy railway line. The DKH side of the railway line seems to be sued a dumping ground by some of the residents of the estate for their unwanted wee stained matresses and sainsurys shopping trolleys.


There is a constant leak of raw sewerage from the pavement outside the squalid pair of shops on the other side of the bridge, and this sometimes pools under the railway bridge itself- should be nice on the summer. I pity the poor fools who buy in this sordid little spot.The rats that scamper freely on the tracks and the bankside undrgrowth will at least be happy for some nice warm accomodation in the coming winter.


The DKH estate has its fair share of caps being popped in disrespectful asses, block parties with a 10K watt Ragga soundsystem and all night firework extravaganzas on a regular basis between about Mid october and Mid january for various reasons.The knockabout devil may care japes of the cabal of feral kids in the estate is also guaranteed to produce hours of side splitting mirth for the inmates of GV15, especially when the kids realise that the smartly groomed metrosexual inhabitants of the block are merely victims in waiting.


Longer term ED resident may well remember the legendary Great flood of about 2003 or 2004 , when a Tsunami of greyed rainwater exploded from the drains outside the station and sat malevolently for several hours, effectively blocking the road to what seemed waist height and eventually depositing a fine mulch of gag inducing ooze over the entire area.



And to to top it all, it seems that you will have a heinous starbucks in your block. The smell of coffee is one irritant for some I suppose, but the seeping production line , easy listening jazz lite is likely to produce a Virginia tech response at some point in the not so distant future I am afraid to say.


Im not going to be rushing to buy anything in GV15

      Porch Pirate on Underhill Road

      By Rockets · Posted

      Our camera caught two folks doing this. One of them led me to believe the delivery driver was in on it as he left the package in a very odd place that the thief (who arrived about 10 minutes after from a direction where he could not have seen where the driver left it) went straight to it and took it - but he then dumped it halfway down the next road as clearly packets of freeze-dried food for a DofE award wasn't to his liking (karma sucks!). The second time a guy pulled his bike up in broad daylight, walked down to our door, opened the box, threw the empty box down and stuffed what he had found in his backpack and brazenly waved at the camera and then cycled off. Police asked us to upload his picture but we never heard anything back.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By Pugwash · Posted

      In the 1960s my husband went to a private day school, Although he was a bright child having won a couple of scholarships to other private schools, his father chose this particular one. He went from 11 - 14 years and left as unhappy with the set up which was based on ethnicity. All boys with both parents English were placed in the A stream regardless of academic ability, Boys with an Irish background were placed in B stream. All others were C streamed - this included boys with a Black or Asian  background, mixed race or mixed European background. His schooldays came to an end when he wished to learn Latin and he was told that no boy in C stream could participate in this subject. His father (not English) was very upset at this and withdrew him from the school and sent him  to a country boarding school.  The experiences he had with his schooling culminated in a breakdown of his mental health and several months in Maudsley. He had low self esteem and it took several decades for him to understand that it was the school system and not his ability which had failed him

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Actually, one of the reasons Sylvester Road was closed was that the space available as more and more parcels were part of the mix was insufficient (and the facilities were primitive). And that was before Covid when parcel delivery numbers soared. Sylvester Road as it existed then would not have coped, probably (and the move to Peckham, when Covid arrived, showed that that wasn't sufficient either!).
