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.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
