My new flat mate was disconcerted to hear two men talking very late at night outside our flat about having seen her move in. The general conversation was one telling the other about how small she was, how much stuff she had and how easy it would be to overpower her and help themselves to whatever was inside. The bell went twice earlier in the evening with nobody outside. She felt they knew she was alone and that they have been watching the house, one possibly being a neighbour. We have a basement flat ,thankfully we have a security gate ( following a previous break in) and window locks but both she and I now feel afraid returning to the flat. We live near Loughborough Junction. What's the correct thing to do in these circumstances? Is there a neighbourhood watch in the area? No crime has been committed (yet) but it is threatening and unnerving. Any advice?

That's awful.


Ask the police for advice, also they would know if there's a pattern in the area.

Also - anyone that can stay over and make it look like she's not alone?


You can get cameras set up (working or not - would be a deterrent.


Meet her neighbours. Get to know who is around.

Thanks, yes I am usually there about half the week but we both work and are out during the day. I have always thought alarms and cameras suggest there is more inside (there is a lot of stuff but not much worth anything! It's peace of mind and feeling secure that is genuinely precious) but maybe I need to reconsider.

      Returning items supplied by medequip

      By Scruffy Mummy · Posted

      I had this same query the other week - Mediquip no longer cover Southwark and I believe the company when bankrupt? Anyway, after some digging, I found the news on the adult social care page of Southwark Council website.  The new supplier of medical equipment that is issued to Southwark residents via an OT from the council or the NHS is Provide Equipment Hub.  I emailed them about returning two items and they did promptly respond and came and picked up the items the following week.  Email them at [email protected] Importantly, they will come and do urgent repairs of equipment like hospital beds.  I'm surprised that Southwark haven't made this change more widely known as it will impact many vulnerable residents.

      Family Photography

      By dianamaru · Posted

      Hello East Dulwich families 👋 I wanted to introduce myself to the community. I’m a professional family & wedding photographer with 14+ years of experience, and I split my time between the US and London throughout the year. I’ll be based in London for the coming weeks and would love to photograph more local families here in East Dulwich. My approach is very relaxed and natural — no stiff posing, no pressure — just real connection, movement, and the beautiful everyday moments that tell your family’s story. I work especially well with kids and parents who feel “awkward” in front of the camera (which honestly is most of us!). Sessions can take place at home, in the park, on your favourite street, or anywhere that feels meaningful to you. The goal is to create images that feel like your life — not a photoshoot. If anyone has been thinking about documenting this season with their children, I’d love to connect, answer questions, or simply share examples of my work. No pressure at all — just happy to be here and meet some neighbours. You can see my work here: https://bluesparkphotography.com/family/ (use the contact page on the site to send me a message if you're interested!).
