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.

      Peter Vasco - review

      By NicholasMclauchlan92 · Posted

      We recently used Peter Vasco for a full kitchen, bathroom refit, and couldn’t be happier with the result and wall knock through. From start to finish he was professional, reliable, and really easy to work with. Communication was clear throughout, they turned up when they said they would, and kept everything tidy as they went. The quality of the workmanship is brilliant, all the pipework is neat, the fittings are solid, and everything was completed to a high standard. They also gave helpful advice along the way and solved a few unexpected issues without any fuss.

      Is Johnson toast?

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      We are seeing the visible return of the Old Boy Network which Johnson and Cameron before him are part of, they looked after the OBN's interests and were in turn protected by it despite their incompetence. And Farage. Those who are not a part of it e.g. Starmer and Reeves, even Truss (deservedly so) are thrown to the dogs. We've been so caught up with race and gender politics we've failed to see the re-emergence of the 'ruling class'.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      I totally disagree. If you listen to the Guardian podcast, which speaks with the reporter and one of those on the receiving end of Farage’s abuse, it is very balanced and credible. It is also notable that we have a letter written in 1981 by an English teacher at DC, begging the head teacher not to allow farage to become a school prefect due to his ‘fascist tendencies’. That is contemporaneous evidence of his racism at the time.

      Computer Repairs.

      By Pugwash · Posted

      There used to be a computer repair place in Bassano Street is it still there> Anyone know of a computer tech person who will come to house to repair/update PCs? I was recommended someone from EDF many years ago who came and installed all the programmes on my new PC.
