Technically Dulwich Village but...

[Earl Aelfheah]

There are loads of different ways you could carve it up, but I am with Louisa on just using the postcodes - SE21 (Dulwich Village / West Dulwich); SE22 (East Dulwich); SE15 (Pecknam). Simple. I notice Hops, Burns and Black sometimes identify as being in Peckham which is interesting.

I thought that side of ED road was SE15 rahrahrah? Maybe not everywhere but the block of flats on ED rd near the intersection with Peckham Rye rd is definitely SE15.

H,B&B have an SE22 postcode (or at least they do according to their website). But they're definitely right on the border with Peckham.

The roads coming off it are. But ED rd itself is SE22. I guess when it's a corner building, it will depend which side the entrance is on.

Not that it's particularly important. Don't know about you, but I don't detect any immediate difference when crossing the threshold into SE15! And the houses round there are just as desirable/expensive than SE22.

Got it and agree.

Relevant GLA ward names are

1. Peckham

2. The Lane

3. Peckham Rye

which run north to south from (1) St George's Way to Peckham High Street, (2) Peckham High St to ED Rd / Nunhead Lane, and (3) from there all the way down to Honor Oak Park.

West of The Lane is South Camberwell and west of Pckham Rye is East Dulwich.

There is a useful thread on boundaries here:

A little late to the party on this conversation but in reply to rahrahrah, we (Hop Burns & Black) hedge our bets and call our location Peckham Rye/East Dulwich because we ain't one thing, ain't the other - we're pretty much equidistant from both ED and PR stations so don't want to put anyone off paying us a visit. Interestingly enough, Time Out classes us as Peckham as it goes with the theory that our side of ED Rd has always been known as Peckham, despite our SE22 postcode!

I?m planning to reinstigate the tradition of ?walking the bounds? of the borders of ED - I need some fellow bounders to help - anyone fancy helping? I think it will establish a sense of community.

I know the answer.

We live on Peckham Rye itself, so that's got to be as clear as it can get. When we got the gym in CPR, we don't say we're going to ED, but if we got to Goose Green Clinic (yoga) we do. Any further than Crystal Palace Road is ED, this side is Peckham.

Now if people want to be all divisive and split Peckham up into posh Peckham (Rye)and Peckham, then you've only got Estate Agents and those pretentious ones to blame.

There's quite a bit of trouble in PR, but you don't hear about it so much because there's more trouble / muggings/ thefts etc in ED and people talk about it more. Having said that, the trouble I know of in PR are far far nastier....and it doesn't ever hit the news.
