Sorry to replicate threads from over the past 2-3 years re Primary Schools however we are looking to potentially buy on East Dulwich Road. We are keen for our child (to be!) to go to Goose Green Primary. We would be 0.4 miles / c650m away. Does anyone know if this sits within the catchment area? Very grateful indeed for any insights.

Panicking... the LB to Victoria line potentially being axed! Do we know how likely this is? This wouldn't make any sense at all... from 6:30-9:30pm all the trains are packed when I get on at Denmark Hill (and even more so afterwrads)... Thanks

I merely posted (and then corrected) to make local people aware that there was a very unpleasant event which might have taken place near where they, and likely their families and friends live, so to be vigilant. No underlying tone, no intended inaccuracies, no postcode-snobbery, just purely in line with how other East Dulwich residents post such things in the "General Issues" section of this site. Everyone is clearly entitled to their own opinion however I am now signing out of this dialogue.

Horsebox, Manda et al - thank you all very much for your posts and PMS. We will certainly be trying to support her as much as we possibly can. Nom de plume - I am frankly surprised you don't have better things to do with your time than pick apart posts trying to help ensure safety of our local community - be they in Dulwich or Peckham.

Just spoken to my friend and apparently, although it does not make it any better for the poor lady, the attack was actually more Peckham than East Dulwich - on Nigel Road. Basically not too far from the Victoria Inn & the Rye pub .... she was buying a pizza from the shop at 10:30pm and it happened just outside the shop. By the sounds of it, it could have turned out far worse - he was punching her in the face while she was on lying the ground and luckily gave up when someone approached. Sorry for the spook and lets hope the police get him...

Just found out that a friend's colleague was badly mugged last night in central East Dulwich by a guy in a hoody - he only took the ?20 she had on her, but punched her in the face. She has a black eye, severely swollen face and has lost a tooth. Absolutely horrific. Waiting on confirmation of the time and exact location - shes a bit too shaken up still so don't want to probe further. I know we all say it, but day or night, you just need to be so aware when walking around alone.

Wow - purely by chance saw this!!! Can't believe the cheek! My boyfriend's Vesper gets drained nearly everytime he fills it! We are on Underhill Road. Found out the same happens to our neighbour! Now they've cut the pipe and the bike won't start....grrrrr! Getting him to call the number above to report... Can't wait for the solution...although not sure what it will be!
