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.

    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.
