If you look at the fixture list you'll see the home fixtures are relatively infrequent.


https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/dulwichhamlet/teams/56196/fixtures-results


In October, there will be two Saturday games and one Tuesday evening*. There will be some noise associated with that, but you may even find it quite warming - it's quite a wholesome club.


* This is for the men's first team. The ladies' team and under 18's I think also have fixtures there, but don't currently draw comparable crowds

Thanks so much everyone , that's really reassuring. Does anyone know when the football stadium redevelopment is happening? I can't find much info online. I know there's also lots of housing planned, which is great, but worried we might be stumbling into a building site as not sure where those are going? So might be a bit out of the frying pan into the fire for us! (We're moving from somewhere very noisy, hence our obsession!)

I remember looking at those houses back when the development was new - 1996/97 - there was a show house just near the beginning. They seem like they?d be easier and more economical to heat and look after. We?re they double glazed as a matter of course?

I posted the original message and my mum did move there - and has been as happy as larry for 5 years. It's a lovely place to live - you can hear the stadium but its not disturbing - if anything it feels really exciting when there's a match on.


I think it has the best ratio of niceness/affordability in Dulwich. Go for it!

Just an update to say that we moved here and are so happy - thanks for everyone's advice. It's like a little oasis of calm and loveliness. Everyone on the street is so friendly and it feels like a real community, and dare I say it, it feels more 'normal' than other parts of East Dulwich we've lived in (plus points)! We're also enjoying spotting jay birds in Green Dale and Peter Crouch in the Sainsbury's 😁

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident.

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
