North Dulwich is not quite as cultured as West Dulwich (clearly), it is virtually Herne Hill which protects us from Brixton, so I suppose that it does merit a strong police presence afterall. But I wonder if at least 9 of those police officers would have been better deployed on the number 3 bus, where parents openly drink Carlsberg export from cans on the school run?

I think it's just the name of the station rather than an actual area... but people often describe an area by the name of the closest station (at least they do in London). I don't think there's any snobbery at play.


Bellenden Village, on the other hand, is basically just estate agent language for Peckham.

When I worked for Lewisham Council prospective Council Tenants were directed to North Lewisham, which I understood to be, Deptford!


Cab Drivers would rarely want to venture "South" of the River back in the day (not sure about now) and when I did some Mini-Cabbing no-one ever said "take me to Brixton" though I had plenty of fares requesting "S.W.2"..

I used to work for Pizza hut in Forest hill and I'd usually have an air pistol in my pocket but never used it. I was attached to the Lewisham branch who delivered to the 'jack move' areas of Deptford, Rotherhithe and Bermondsey and I had to refill the magazine several time. I'm not joking!

I can't believe I'm getting into this discussion but hey - isn't West Kensington W14 and Shepherd's Bush W12 and aren't they next door to one another?


Also, I thought North Dulwich was the same as Dulwich Village, or am I talking through my hat? What do I know, I'm just a Peckhamite...

I've said b4 Wolfie.


The A.A. Man patrolling The Brixton Area arrived with an axe back in 1988 (?) !!

Moos, please don't take this the wrong way but please leave a serious, thoughtful and considered discussion to those better equiiped mentally on EDF.

North Dulwich Station lies South-South West of East Dulwich Station and West Dulwich Station lies almost due South of North Dulwich Station.


If the neighbourhoods were going to be named by their station and the stations in turn by their positions North Dulwich would just be Dulwich or Dulwich central, West Dulwich would be South Dulwich and East Dulwich would be North Dulwich or possibly North-and-East-a-little-bit Dulwich.

    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
