Dominic and his sister are the beneficiaries of the trust (I think). I understand two properties in The Gardens were named after them by their grandmother (one is called Dominic House or Dominic Court). They are slowly but surely renovating the houses owned by the Trust in the square. All but a handful of the houses are divided into flats and owned by Tilt Estates (the Trust). The Gardens are very quiet and pretty. Residents of the houses/flats have keys to the garden square. There are sometimes barbeques and parties during good weather in the square, but there are many trees/bushes with thick foliage which keeps the noise down to a minimum (or at least it does on the side I live on). The best kept local secret is the superb park in Peckham Rye - it is like stepping out of London. It feels safe and is very well kept and very pretty. Well worth a visit.

FJG, the park is the continuation of the same land as the football fields you refer to, just further up. There's a path that cuts accross from Peckham Rye (the road) to the other side, there is a car park and a children's play area. Beyond that, fenced off is the park. Was done up recently and is now really lovely. Take a look.

In defence of TILT -there's onlty one thing worse than a landlord who always has the builders in (its called maintenance)and mows the lawn/ trims the hedges.....


The only thing that this part of E Dulwich needs is better communication (I mean it would be nice to be closer to the trains)One day maybe...


btw we forgot the tesco express or was that on purpose.

Most of the houses in ED were built between 1875 and 1885 although there are Georgian exceptions near LL. I think the first census reports of residents in the Gardens were 1881, so that would put you at the ealy end of that phase. 1870-1880 would be a pretty good decade to choose.

      Family Photography

      By dianamaru · Posted

      Hello East Dulwich families 👋 I wanted to introduce myself to the community. I’m a professional family & wedding photographer with 14+ years of experience, and I split my time between the US and London throughout the year. I’ll be based in London for the coming weeks and would love to photograph more local families here in East Dulwich. My approach is very relaxed and natural — no stiff posing, no pressure — just real connection, movement, and the beautiful everyday moments that tell your family’s story. I work especially well with kids and parents who feel “awkward” in front of the camera (which honestly is most of us!). Sessions can take place at home, in the park, on your favourite street, or anywhere that feels meaningful to you. The goal is to create images that feel like your life — not a photoshoot. If anyone has been thinking about documenting this season with their children, I’d love to connect, answer questions, or simply share examples of my work. No pressure at all — just happy to be here and meet some neighbours. You can see my work here: https://bluesparkphotography.com/family/ (use the contact page on the site to send me a message if you're interested!).

      Be careful in local shops

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I don't! But I've also taken to calling myself David, as it seems to shorten the odds of achieving something in life. It's not King Dave, Dave Lloyd George, Dave Hockney, Dave Bowie or Dave Hasselhoff is it? And I'm not sure Michelangelo would have had such success if he'd called his sculpture 'Dave'.

      Where to recycle shoes & trainers please?

      By ed_pete · Posted

      I think there is still a shoes/clothes recycling bank outside of North Dulwich station.
