East Dulwich has always felt safe over the last 11 years (am I allowed to call ED home yet?!), but the only road in ED that I would not advise any girls to walk along alone at night is Townley Rd. Such a stunning road by day (one of my favs), by night it's not well lit (The street lamps are far apart) and as it's only residential Lordship Lane end it just seems a long, dark, quiet road. A friend was mugged at knife point three years ago, she ran in terror to the police station but it was closed.
