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.

    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
