Welcome to our area! I live in Nutbrook St just over the roofs of Amott Rd. We are a special enclave, not Peckham nor East Dulwich nor Peckham Rye, but right between all three. It was a big local secret till the East Dulwich Forum was invented and people started to tell their stories about it! When you are settled in, I'd love to come and meet your fostered cats, and talk to you about the cat fostering. Can you PM me so I can explain my interest and set up email contact?

i just moved to ondine road about 3 months ago and am really happy there! i was also a little worried as moved from a v v safe bit of clapham, but am absolutely loving it. have had no hassles at all (tho admittedly if its after 10 i would prob take a taxi from peckham rye station) and i just love the way this area is a real mix of people (after all the hoorah henrys of clapham with their generic ysl polo tops tucked into chinos :)) Neighbours are particularly lovely and helpful. Gowlett serves a good pint and amazing pizza. Enjoy!

Your're in a far better area to be honest... just call it Peckham though : )

Can you believe it? The landlord of our place now has emailed offering to let us stay! However, we emailed him 4 weeks ago and when he didn't reply we put down a deposit on the Keston Rd house - plus, everyone's been so lovely about Keston Rd that we're actually looking forward to moving there.


However, it does mean that I have to give up fostering cats so if anyone can help with offering a foster home for any RSPCA cats that would be fantastic - I have 2 lovely ladies at the mmoment, Tuppence and Moley, black and white and fantastic. We also have Mousey, a gorgeous, long haired tortoiseshell and white 15yr old who we love to bits. Please let me know!


thanks

morning all,


further to this topic: i am interested in a property in the bellenden area of peckham, on nigel road. now i know the topic of Bellenden has been covered a few times before on this forum, but some of the forums replies by members appear quite a few years old now, and i wanted more 'up-to-date' feedback if i may? now i realise some of you will say its great, and equally some of you will say its not but what i wanted was more specific information on the nigel road/relf road area, or should i dare to say "east bellenden", lol? i trust my instincts and i really like how it looks, but i have heard rumours of some of the roads around there being used as rat runs - what are your thoughts?

Some of the roads there are cut throughs particularly Nigel Road, Nigel Road itself is not bad house-wise but another consideration is you may have trouble parking as it's pay and display and often very fully parked

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him

      It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By MCK100 · Posted

      @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
