Hi Peacem,


I've live in ED for almost 2 years so not so much a newbie however, I love where I live which is on Marmora off Forest Hill Road. It's ideal for me as I can either get walk to Honor Oak or get a bus to Pekham Rye. I dont personally prefer to live near the lively LL but is within walking distance. Ideally though Pekham Rye park is round the corner and with Harris school for girls availbale very close for sporting activities and and the newly being built Harris School for boys available for sporting activities soon I'm in a very lovely spot.


I've yet to get shin-diggy with anoyone on this forum but since living here I love it.


Be nice to you neighbours and have that community spirit and you will love it too....i hope.


There are always gonna be nice part and real crappy parts but home is what you make it unless somone cr4ps on your doorstep.....


Have fun looking.


Not so much ED Newbie

I wouldn't want to live anywhere too near a pub if you value your sleep. I would also nix living near a fast food restaurant, or any restaurant for that matter. Garbage equals more rats. Also check out the street beforehand to see if it is a cut through with speed bumps if you would be sleeping at the front of the house. The roads off Coplestone and Oglander are good. Everthorpe, Danby, Muschamp, Marsden.....but they are not strictly SE22. But they are close to ED station and a quick walk to Peckham Rye. Or you could go further into Peckham, off Bellenden Road going to PR station.

Barry Road is also one of the longest roads in East Dulwich and has MANY roads coming off it, so maybe the crime stats should be normalised for that? Honestly, some people have no grasp for statistics! These two murders were also between known individuals (the first a gang and the second, a couple) as far as I understand. So far I've heard of NO serious crimes against an innocent East Dulwich dweller, aside from the odd perry crime. Get a grip people!


Secondly, the 'nicer' the area, the higher the chance of burglaries, so if you're really concerned then you'd better just go live in a safe house somewhere are lock yourself in all day.


And if you are worried about burglaries, you're probable statistically worse off living in places like Knightsbridge/Chelsea than in ED.

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
