We live in Peckham Rye (Maxted Road area) and yesterday caught a young bloke climbing over the wall into our garden.


He claimed he was looking for a ball but does not live in any adjoining house, there was no ball and had his hood up... quite obviously up to no good.


We reported him to the police. Please keep an eye out and do the same if you see him. And obviously keep all doors and windows secured.


He was about 5'6", dressed in baggy sports clothes, a red or grey hoodie and white European in appearance.

Looking for a ball - 5'6" is quite tall for a ten year old.

That's because nobody posts when they haven't been the victim of a crime or potential crime, only when they have :)


Crime is happening all over London, not just in East Dulwich, but most places don't have forums where its profile is raised.

I don't want to scare people unduly and agree we need to keep things in proportion.


My perception is that East D/Peckham's growing affluence is sticking out more and more. Walking along Lordship Lane the other day it felt like Northcote Road. Plus all these silly property features in the press are drawing attention to the area. Worth remembering that we're not all millionaire Clapham refugees but this is how some may see us.


We are fortunate to live in a prosperous place. I don't want to get into a debate about the pros and cons of gentrification as this forum already has more than the complete works of Shakespeare on that subject. Suffice to say we just need to be vigilant and neighbourly. Please report anything dodgy and tell your neighbours.

Thanks for posting this. He sounds exactly like the chap I found in my garden, looking over my neighbour's fence 2 years ago.


Same story about the ball (said it was his daughter's). The police were very helpful at the time and appeared to recognise him from the behaviour/description. I seem to remember hearing that he had been apprehended but could easily be back in the area.


I'll be keeping my eyes open.

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
