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 didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
