I have to agree - ED is not really in the beautiful catagory - busy and trendy perhaps but not beautiful. Its close to nice parks, Dulwich and Peckham but I guess it does not have much beautiful of its own, but there is nothing wrong with been a buzzing little area, surrounded by beauty.

Why would they open a poundstretcher on Nunhead Lane Keef...... ?


And the catchment group for M&S is generally massive exposure to people, and generally people who are prepared to spend a lot of money with little thought and also spend that money on food that is generally not all that.


M&S local is a far cry from a proper M&S like the one in Beckenham. 20mins from ED.

Third and final Nunhead Regeneration Phase is a waste bin?

Just heard Nick Ferrari describe Woolwich as "one of the more grim and miserable parts of London even though it has a waterfront". He then spent a couple of minutes railing on about how bad Woolwich is.


I think we all agree that East Dulwich is far better than that (in every way possible)!


Keef, I suggest you take your grime tinted specs off next time you look at East Dulwich!


:)

Believe me, I have looked at ED, and it is in most ways lots better than Woolwich, which is a place I generally don't like, having worked there for 7 years. However, East Dulwich is not a beautiful area, however much it might make you feel good about yourself, to claim it is. It is a nice area made up of victorian terraces, with some grim 20th century buildings thrown in. Woolwich does have a great waterfront, recently done up. It has all the old military buildings and grounds, horrid as it may be, it has more interesting and attractive stuff to look at than ED. However, if some bloke on the radio disagrees, then I must be wrong.

So Keef disagrees with Nick ferrari - that makes Keef right by default


Besides keef wasn't being harsh in any way - he just (correctly) pointed out that from an aesthetic viewpoint ED doesn't have much going for it compared with lots of other areas. The shops and houses are all relatively modest, often scruffy and there isn't anything architecturally to make you go "ooh" - not even a town clock a la Harlesden.


It has plenty else to recommend it and I would defend it against anywhere as a place to live - but pretty on the eye? Nope


At least with Woolwich, if you de-grimed it it has potential to be pretty amazing but you can paint up ED all youlike and would still just be low-key. That's ok tho'

Some bloke??!?!? This is Nick Ferrari, the de facto spokesman for all of London, you and I included!

"Come in my back door, and rob my house? "


careful what you wish for Keef, especially if you dwell ED, what with the explosion in cocaine prices, you may well get your wish, some of the organic folk out on a san antonio lane night out don't care how they get their money !

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.

This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system.

Thank you in advance for your support so far, and your support going forward.
