I was curious about a local character in the neighbourhood and have done a search on him on this forum to see if there were any comments and surprised no one has mentioned him. There is a guy with a very long wig, who hangs around the top of Lordship Lane (Plough area). He seems to wear a very long wig in a ponytail and hangs around the bank machine up there. The suspicious part is that he seems to go to the bank machine several times in a short space of time which I always find peculiar. I would be sitting outside the Plough and see him come from the Woodwarde road direction a few times to use the machine. I have seen him be jumped on by undercover police but was not sure if he was actually caught with anything. I have never had any issues with that machine and he may be innocent but I do find his behaviour peculiar. Anyone else know who this is!?

I see this guy a lot waiting and getting on buses . He looks eccentric with the hair but apart from that he just goes quietly about his business . Never seen any peculiar behaviour .


Guess the "undercover" police weren't very discreet or protecting their cover .I hope they were police and not impersonaters persecuting a vulnerable member of the public .

I've seen him a lot too at the same place but usually outside the plough . He has a dark wig and a blonde and I believe he is harmless . I remember seeing him outside Peckham rye cafe with a group of people enjoying a cuppa . Just one of Dulwichs colourful characters !
Yes I see him a lot. Sometimes even in fancy dress. He was in a cleopatra like outfit at the plough bus stop last time I saw him. He is pretty harmless, can occasionally be a nuisance when he is waving a can of lager about, but nothing to worry about. My toddler and I usually give him a wave.

Unnerving. We should all be able to go out our day without worry the locals are gossiping about us on the forum.


I am spending my day in Brixton, where no one bats an eye.

From what you have described it sounds like you witnessed this man being mugged rather than set upon by 'undercover' police officers. His frequent returns to the same spot could be his way of coming to terms with his ordeal. I think you should leave the poor man alone.


I am personally more concerned about those who spend their afternoon sitting in a pub making judgements about the local populace.

Indeed. Or perhaps those making judgments responding to questions on an internet forum.

Not sure it's a judgement about most people in East Dulwich looking odd bur more like an observation Lost of them do look odd - blokes in skinny jeans with bears and man bags and the girls not much different. Lots of vegans and vegetarians as well so it seems. God the farting must be awful


Still that's what you get in London when all the rich people move in

Hahah I love this forum and people getting on their high horses when they want to with no sense of irony!! I was not commenting on the fact that he was suspicious because of his dress sense. The way he dresses is valid in my comments above to highlight as it is distinctive and anyone who had seen him before would automatically recognise who I was talking about. I could not give a hoot how others dress to be honest. The suspicious part was the fact that he lingers round the Lloyds bank machine, seemingly on the phone, and appears to make a number of withdrawals within a very short space of time. This suspicion has been compounded with the fact that I have seen him stopped by undercover cops (I am pretty sure they were legit as they had badges and seemed professional enough and there was a police car in the vicinity).

    • Hello We are looking to get a dog of 1 year plus - know how hard puppy training is and want to avoid it! Also keen to know dog’s personality before we jump in as friends have had very difficult experiences with puppies who turned out to be tricky.  Ideally would like to adopt but also open to buying - does anyone have any ideas of where one might buy a dog?  thanks in advance! 
    • I think you have been very kind towards the the council.  And even kinder in your description of Peckham High Street (LOL). Peckham High Street Rye Lane is awful.  I know it is a very controversial opinion   but I am happy that some parts are going to developed and re built.   The dirty pavements, graffiti shops that put their stock all over pavements and racing cyclists make it not an enjoyable place to be in.  In the old days any business would have to keep their premises in good order.   I am much happier being near a simple bit of over greenery or weed.   It is much cleaner and feels safer to be next to.   Some parts of Peckham are plagued by Zombie like people who have fallen prey to substance abuse.  And I don't see the council putting much effort into helping these poor lost souls.
    • Our refuse collectors leave rubbish all the way down the hill after they have emptied the bins. Everywhere you go you see rubbish everywhere. On some days walking through the high street in Peckham can be truly depressing with plastic bags and paper blowing around everywhere, Peckham and other streets deserve better than this Council complacency. I'm sure it wasn't so bad back in the day. Councils everywhere, faced with cuts in revenue, must have decided a long time ago  that litter picking  and rubbish collection were not so important. I think a clean, tidy environment makes everyone feel better about their home environment. Btw, I'm ok with a few weeds. They are just wild flowers in an inconvenient place.
    • Have just enjoyed watching 100s of cyclists go past on Peckham Rye west. Couple of penny farthings, lit up bikes and music too!
