The general Met number for Southwark is

Opening Hours: 06:00-22:00 Mon - Sun



and I guess they'd put you through to the relevant people

Thanks for the replies. Am seeing people obviously casing out houses on our street on a regular basis, and people knocking on doors asking for people who have never lived in the street, then walking to a different street on being told wrong door number. I used to work with attempting to rehabilitate ex career convicts, and can usually spot a career criminal a mile off. Will be getting in touch with the local force from now on, shame they sold up and moved out of ED though. A real shame, our local Police were a good lot.

I can support this. I'm working at home most days now and have had several callers in daytime asking for people who clearly don't stay here before moving down the street. Not middle class paranoia - just blatant casing. The last guy looked like the Notorious BIG with a red baseball cap, phat jeans and a bandanda.


Then on Sat morning we watched fascinated as someone broke into a car on our street - phoned Peckham nick as it happened (ED closed which sucks).- but not heard back. There's no fear! Broad daylight, stuck his hand through the window, strolled (yes STROLLED) round to the other side, got in, jump started it and away - all in under 2mins.

To be honest I don't think they are targeting one part of ED more than another SCSB....I've never understood that particular forum sentiment. Pretty much any street with 2/3 empty houses during the day and high value goods inside, next to a much poorer inner urban area with high unemployment, drug probs etc is an open invitation.

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
    • It's Inner London. You could move somewhere else?
    • They are people.  That's how people often behave.
