East Dulwich Village!

[Rivel]

I heard an Australian the other day telling their friend that they lived in East Dulwich Village! I love it. Does that add value to my property living in East Dulwich Village!

[Penguin68]

Probably only if you marketed it in Australia.

Could move here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dulwich_Hill,_New_South_Wales

Right that's it you lot that are newbies - moved here in the last 10 years (I'm being generous) clear off with your lowering the tone attitudes! :-p

Not at all, because you live too close to Bellenden village which is far posher (according to those who live there) then down to earth and common old East Dulwich

I agree with Kel go away posh people and leave ED to those who have been here for more than 10 years (Kel does 11 years count ? )

I saw East Dulwich described as East Dulwich Village years ago, before gentrification started.

I think the agent was hoping people would think it was like Dulwich Village, which at the time was definitely more desirable.

It made me laugh. A lot.

Hmmm, every village has an idiot. Any suggestions? ;-)

The very essence of a Village is that it is isolated and everyone that lives there knows everyone else.

That could never be said of East Dulwich..

East Dulwich is not isolated but many people that live there feel isolated in themselves.

Just visit any East Dulwich pub most nights, you will be spoilt for choice as far as Idiots go..

I heard someone one day they lived in Northeast Dulwich, which I assume is Peckham.

[spark67]

Peckahm is far cooler now, you would probably hear people say they live there rather than ED ;)

I remember listening to a comedy show on radio 4 whiles driving, about 10 yrs ago where there was a sketch about an estate agent using agent speak to big up properties in less desirable areas. He mentioned East Dulwich, to which a client replied, " don't you mean Peckham ?"

How things change :)

What KK said.

Fuck off back to Clapham, East Dulwich is ours.

[Take Note]

haha Jah Lush :)

We've just moved to Copleston Road (not from far away, from Ruskin Park House on Denmark Hill) and are loving the area, but there seems to be some confusion from the Post Office and estate agents as to whether we're Peckham Rye or East Dulwich (ED being the nearest station but PR being not far away either). A friend suggested we style ourselves East Peckwitch, which I rather like for its Dickensian sonority.

I thought it depended on the postcode? SE22 East Dulwich, SE15 Peckham??

[TheArtfulDogger]

According to the proposed changes to the ward boundaries, this is about to become goose green village !

Sigh

[edhistory]

That's not so bad.

The name Goose Green appears on some of the very earliest maps.

rendelharris - basically you live right on the border of Camberwell, East Dulwich and Peckham... but it's technically in Peckham.

> but it's technically in Peckham.

What technicality is that?

[Earl Aelfheah]

I live in South Peckham, SE22

[Jeremy]

rendelharris - ignore edhistory... he's always doing this.

I think edhistory's question was fair enough. I didn't know what "technically in Peckham" meant either!

[Jeremy]

It's in Peckham.

Yes, but it's about how Peckham is defined, isn't it?

There have been similar discussions on here in the past about what exactly is East Dulwich, if memory serves?

[rendelharris]

I'm very happy to be in either but yes, I assume the SE15 postcode makes it Peckham. As long as an envelope has the correct number, street and postcode it'll get here anyway, won't it, so I might start giving out East Peckwitch as my address just for fun...
