Hi Mike


Franster and I used to live on Burrow Road..now on Abbotswood Road. Its a nice road...where we first lived when we moved here.


Its about a 10 min walk to East Dulwich station..about 2 mins to the Sainsburys (open 24 hrs) and of course you have tbe Dulwich Hamlet Football Ground which is great fun local football.


The neighbours are mainly young couples, families and very nice and friendly.


Ooh just down the road from Burrow Road...is Costcutter...open 24 hrs , 7 days a week ...fully stocked with booze all the time!


Yes you have us, Ladygooner, Ladymuck, Dave and Ratty living here!

Ten minutes Weegee...really?...someone as young as you? Takes me 4 mins. to get to ED Station!;-)


Mr. Pallywotsitooos, Royalty live here you know...but being Chief Bhuna and all that you might just get a look in;-).


There's a really friendly, nice community spirit, it's quiet and yet most things are close by. And as Ladygooner has said, lots of lovely neighbours. I love it.

I looked at the neighbourhood when first looking in ED. Is it right that it was built by two different developers? Barratt and Wimpey? Is there any difference to the quality of the builds? Soundproofing and heat retention etc. They look like they would be easy to maintain.
Yes etate was built by both Barratt and Wimpey. Key difference is how each chose to do lay out as dimensions are pretty much the same (originally was due to all be built by Wimpey but then sold off about half the estate). Later build tended to have downstairs cloakroom and smaller living room. I lived there for 10 years and always found it a good location with the train and Sainsburys on your doorstep.

Built by Beazer and Wimpey. Wimpey slightly better quality build, but Beazers are more roomy. Maintenance? A doddle!

    • No, you didn’t write the article. But unless you’re a Telegraph subscriber, you haven’t read the article either. Have you read it? The psychopath Telegraph lives behind a (rubber) paywall but using this kind of sensationalist, accusatory headline gets it traction on social media. The headline becomes more important than the article; many will see it and some will take it as a statement of fact. And it will be shown on endless “let’s take a look at the papers” segments on TV and radio for 12 hours or more in every news day. And so, a tiny number of reactionary, right wing hacks has a vastly disproportionate influence on the popular conversation despite the papers they work for being bought by almost nobody these days. 
    • Trelco are wonderful. James has been super reliable and they are a gem to have around us locally. Trust them completely, will give honest advice and have very fair pricing for all small work around the house or bigger plumbing projects. I've used them multiple times and they will always find the time to help, even when they are busy they will pop round to make sure we aren't stranded which is a nice touch.
    • "attack on the tax", I posted a link, how was that an attack? I didn't write the article, so how was that an attack on the proposed tax?  Are you now saying what can and cannot be posted, when did you become Admin(NOT).
