if money's no object, go for one in Court Lane that back's onto the park...


However, in my opinion, the area is a bit suburban and has a rather cut off feel (far from good shops, not much life, etc.) Why don't you try looking in East Dulwich, I think it has a lot more going for it and you would get more for your money.

what about this? it's a funny looking old thing, and needs a complete overhaul, but it's on a quiet road right near the heart of East Dulwich, and it looks massive...

Woodwarde is indeed a lovely road, but if I were you I'd invest my hard-earned dosh in just a few acres of land, with house of course. Preferably with at least 0.4 hectares (one acre) of woodland, but if not you can plant your own short-rotation coppice (fast-growing willow, poplar) to generate space/water heating as well as to provide heat for cooking. A masonry stove (popular in Scandinavia and Finland) would be hyper-efficient and should do all of this nicely. Install all the good insulation you can.


All this will save you no end of grief when the shit shortly hits the fan regarding energy (currently on hold owing to worldwide recession). Alternatively, if you are more community-minded, join with some others and do the same on a larger scale. Your children will thank you for it.


You could, of course, grow your veggies - and indeed keep your chickens - in Court Lane or Woodwarde, but otherwise things might be little grim a decade or two from now.

None of that tosh is possible in se21 or se22 never mind anywhere else in the UK.


Try buying a plot of land to build a house on you?re having a laugh.


Finding a plot would be the easy bit then you?d need the planning that?d take err about 10 years then you?d need to get it build that?d take 5 years. ?+


The costs once factoring in the stress and the time not worth the effort unless it?s your life / hobby.


You?ll get a poorly built modern house in 10 ? 15 years time on a plot the size of a postage stamp in the middle of a load of &rap. If you?re lucky.


Or just do the sensible thing and buy a Victorian house which can be renovated easily at relatively low cost whilst you live in it, the extension may take a couple of years at worst if no planning is required otherwise with planning that?ll take up to 5 years + at least you?ll have somewhere to live whilst waiting.


I tried new build once would never ever ever ever EVER do it again!


It?s easy to insulate a victorian house is you need to.



Otherwise I agree ?grim a decade or two from now?


But why make it worst for your self?

I do realise you're joking. ;-)

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
