Is Goose Green ED's new kerb crawl hotspot? (Tooting Common)


Recommended Posts

More than 20 suspected kerb-crawlers were arrested so says the Stabbing Times (aka South London Press)please be vigilant around the area. My wife is always being stopped and propositioned by total strangers in and around the Green. Particularly on Fridays. Anyone else had this problem?

This thread is a load of rubbish. The South London Press article is about the notorious red light district next to Tooting Common.

Hands up! Ok it was Tooting but the question was quite serious. So dont fall out of your flip-flops gimme! My missus has been bothered on more than one occasion and so have a couple of her friends up from clapham. Admitadly she hasnt had that issue lately as she is heavily with child (due in six weeks!) I genuinely wanted to see if anyone else had the same experience. We've lived here for three years and I personally think its getting worse.

It's not the pros that are the problem - it's the amateurs

A man in a car slowed down and drove along next to me and asked if I was 'doing business' as i walked home on East Dulwich Grove the other night. (to clarify, my attire didn't exactly scream 'lady of the night.')

I told him to F off and he drove off.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
