I have been here 10 years (north end of Hindmans/Tyrrel Road), its a lovely place to live, calm but varied. Never had any late night trouble at all and it feels safe (though some roads would benefit from better street lighting I suspect). Have had the usual periodic bike thefts but no car vandalism or break-ins. Clockhouse is an OK pub, Rye Hotal is nice too, likewise Gowlett and does great pizzas but service can be crap, the Rye is great and never feels too packed and now has a cafe. You are better placed for Peckham Rye station which gives you more transport choices than ED but is not always a pleasant travel experience, the 63 and 12 buses are amongst the best in the area. If you work in town though it is generally an hour journey in rushhour whether bus or train (unless you happen to work right next to Ldn Bridge or Blackfriars). This drove me mad after a couple of years and I now try to cycle as much as possible. The other downside is that you are more of a treck to Lordship Lane and access to grocery stores (though couple of small shops on ED Road and one on N Barry Road), restaurants etc. Fusion gym is very handy for this part of ED and I think is good value with a nice atmosphere if not the cleanest place in the world. Don't know anything about schools.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
