Right you lot, is there a property or road in east Dulwich or surrounding areas that you would like to live in or would really like to see inside. I live in Forest hill, you know, the place with far more superior views than east Dulwich. Anyway for me it would have to be Liphook cresent in fozzy hill but I'd love to have a legal shufty round some of the village properties.


P.s Can those of you in Peckham and Nunhead try not to get too grabby and fanciful in your choices, thanks.

Ooh, Citizen, do you mean the pretty grey one? Fight you for it! :)

There are some lovely big houses on Colyton Rd that I would love to look inside, one in particular that's been refurbished recently - I see them daily as I walk into Peckham Rye Park. Also the big detached place opposite the Herne, although not sure about the location.


There are some gorgeous houses in Dulwich Village, but I much prefer living in ED!

When I come out of Dulwich Park at Old College Gate, having burst my lungs running like an Olympic Champion, I see those big imposing houses just up from the mini-roundabout, and bet they are fully equipped with all the pleasures to aid recovery starting with a steam bath..

My findings on the areas hallways are:


Farrow 'n' Ball Georgian Duck Egg has been usurped recently by Designer's Guild Aged Sage for the walls.


Antique white still very much in vogue for woodwork and any decorative plasterwork.


Granny's coat and umbrella stand gets an outing in most 499k+ properties. At ?650+ her mirror over occasional table set comes out of storage as well. Those people that have to buy their own furniture usually invest in one of those distressed white mirrors from Northcross road, at this point.


Sub 420k it's IKEA coathooks leaning out of the crumbling plasterwork under the strain of a family's worth of winter clothing.

Occasionally complimented with a Victorian era Elephant tusk.

    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
