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!

You do live in Peckham though. ; )

Peckham denial is a common phenomenon!

'East Dulwich borders' is a good one, if you're an estate agent.

Or maybe 'Gowletti Village'

[TarahC]

Wow, are we moving into an area snubbed by the 'real ED' people? :) We should definitely organise a street party or some drinks, it sounds like we 'inbetween' people should stick together!

[Muley]

Don't do it- the whole area's built on the site of an ancient Native American burial ground and is prone to supernatural activity

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

[Huggers]

I'm in Nutbrook too and love it. It has all the conveniences of east dulwich without the 'petite bourgoiese 'self aggrandisement.

[mumof3girlies]

I say hear hear to Huggers post, although Keston Road is actually 2 streets away from being an SE22 postcode...

I love how much that matters to people

[Jeremy]

I hope you've measured the distance in metres from your house to the postcode borderline.

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

Hi I live on Adys Road (just round the corner) and really like it here. Been here almost a year and haven't witnessed any crime in the area yet. Close to PR station and also close to tescos... can't complain.

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?

[PeckhamRose]

My thoughts are you should have started a new post because I just read through the lot without looking at the dates!

Hey, get to know all your neighbours, be nice, and be glad you don't live in Clapham. Or Alston. Or Norfolk.

Be 'appy!

[bornthefourth]

thanks for that peckhamrose!!!! i think that reply should be used to reply to all topics on EDF. "Be 'appy, don't worry!"

[cate]

I think Nigel Rd. is a cut through. I have used it. You need to go there during rush hour times at least and see what happens.

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
