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.

    • I've just had James from Trelco round doing taps and hot water.  Prompt, efficient and pleasant people and the cost came in under what we thought it would be! Will definitely use them again.
    • Yes - adult care is a large part of the CT bill.  That does not mean the council spend our money well or wisely.        
    • “What do councils spend all the money on?” Is, in my view, one of the most profoundly emblematic of our times  we go about our lives, backed up by councils and governments and complain they aren’t needed  reform win elections based on “we’re gonna go in and slash all the waste!” Only to later admit there effectively isn’t any oh and by the way we need to increase council tax   Now all we have to offer is racism and ineptitude sorry about that  https://www.gbnews.com/money/reform-elon-musk-doge-failed-savings So where does the money go? On a multitude of services - but the increasingly aged population and the care provision required is a large part of it  the government could give councils more money to avoid council tax rises  - but the we would have to pay more in jewels taxation  and as a country we tend to pay less than other similar countries  so we end up with an expensive mend and make do approach  I don’t see any political parties offering a solution   Starmer is obviously lacking in many areas but he is the result of a hostile media and a reluctant population willing to hear truths  (wait until we hear how much we will need to increase defence spending by in the coming years) If a party stopped pretending all the money was wasted but published a list of costs, projections and proposals that wasn’t gutted to suit the landscape of needing to not bemonstered by the press or deemed too expensive by voters I would be very interested      can’t see that happening tho  (also worth reminding ourselves of all the brexiters who said things like “I don’t care how much it costs   I don’t care if I lose my job  it’s about taking back control!” And yet now we find them complaining about increasing costs. As they always will complain about everything  because it’s always someone else’s fault)   
    • I wouldn't be going all the way to Dobbies  just to take flowerpots! 😀 It's a very good garden centre with a wide range of well kept  plants and helpful staff, at least it was on the only occasion I've visited it, last year!
