We are thinking about buying a house on Underhill Road, but we are worried about the commute to the city. Just up from Belvoir Road, going away from Lordship Lane. Anyone live around there, commuting into the City (Liverpool Street and Aldergate area)? What is the commute like? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I live on Underhill near you and work near Moorgate. It normally takes me less than an hour door to door.

There are several ways to get there:

1. Get to ED station and then get the train to LB and then walk/tube it in.

2. Get the P13 to either West Dulwich or Tulse Hill stations and get the train to City Thamslink/Farringdon and then the walk/tube from there.

3. Get the 363 from Underhill to Peckham Rye and then either the train to LB or to City Thamslink/Farringdon.


The 'difficult' bit is getting to a station, which takes anything up to 25 minutes. After that it's easy.

Hi,


That's really near me. I live off Underhill between Melford Rd and Lordship lane.


I moved in March and either cycle which takes me 30 mins to Bank, or when its bad weather take the train from Forest Hill which thankfully now takes Oyster PAYG so I dont have to queue for a ticket every fluffing time.


Getting to FH station you can either walk over the hill past the Horniman which takes about 10 mins or hop on a 176, 197 or 185 bus which are normally quite frequent.


I personally think its a great place to be located (though I am clearly biased) as you're near the park and being connected to FH is handy not only for getting into town but also to connect to East Croydon which is a major hub to lots of other places. And its going to be on the East London line. The only downside is that its a zone 3 station where as East Dulwich is zone 2. The Plough at the Barry Rd/Lordship lane junction is also a rather nice pub in my opinion.



Anna.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
