Hi Norfolkvillas Well done for taking up mentoring, I'm sure it will be very rewarding indeed. Do the activities have to be in the Kennington/Oval area? Or would it be a good idea to take that child out of her regular surroundings to experience some different things & to widen her horizons? I'm just asking as I know someone who mentored a 15 year old girl and she took her to lots of places outside of her immediate surroundings (street dance shows, theatre, restaurants, music events etc). Do you have any idea what interests she has? Well done once again, I know how rewarding it can be.

Nice post von, I agree.

the-e-dealer - it's Binoculars not binoculers and having grown up in East Dulwich all my life, I am the last person to stereotype people. Let's hope that your not a victim of a burglary.

You're welcome muffins78!

Last night at approximately 11pm, I was sat in my car on Belvoir Road where I spotted a suspicious man. He obviously didn't see me as he wandered around scouring the area looking at parked cars and properties on Belvoir, Underhill & Melford Roads. After observing him for a while I then drove past him and when he spotted what I was doing, he hid in a garden on Underhill Road (somewhere between number 32 and 50) The mans description is; white, 5ft 8inch tall, slim -skinny build, short brown hair scrapped back with a slight wave in it, navy tracksuit, white trainers (Nike Airforce trainer boots- they looked new so he probably will have these on next time!!!:) Anyway I have reported him to the Police crime number.

Thank you Pugwash, very useful. I visited there recently and enjoyed the shopping centre. You're right there's certainly a wide range of shops & lots of local buses to surrounding areas.

Thank you duchessofdulwich

Does anyone know what Worthing is like?

We stayed here last year, it was very basic, but clean, comfortable & in the centre of town. http://www.ibis.com/gb/hotel-5477-ibis-praha-old-town/index.shtml

The yellow/blue monstrosity used to be called Two Trees restaurant...they used to serve great food

I think it's a lovely photo, very atmospheric

East Dulwich dweller - yes "The Cabin" rings a bell and how reassuring it is that someone (other than me)remembers it from all those years ago :)

Have sent you a PM

I went past the chippy a few days ago and noticed that the 'Kebab' shop sign has disappeared...I wonder if it was the old shop sign that I mentioned below??.

Or this which mentions both Therapia and Scutari....and the Sea of Marmara (not sure if this relates to Marmora Road)? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haydarpa%C5%9Fa_Cemetery

Crimean War 1854-1856 - British troops sent to the Scutari Depot http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/research-guides/army-muster-1730-1898.htm

Anyone remember 'Jonathans' newsagents and the small sweet shop next door to them? If I recall correctly, many many years ago prior to it being a chippy it was a Kebab shop!

Don't forget Margaret Thatcher during her short-lived time in Dulwich http://www.dulwichsociety.com/2013-summer/861-baroness-margaret-thatcher

That's funny Penguin68...it made me remember the time as a teenage fan I looked in the telephone directory for the telephone number for Ben Volpeliere-Pierrot of Curiosity Killed the Cat ! His Dad answered and told me he wasn't there:)

Not sure how accurate this is ; "From 1945 until 1964 the Browns lived at 77 Court Lane, Dulwich" http://www.oxforddnb.com/templates/article.jsp?articleid=30861&back=

Perfect, thank you malleymoo :)
