I've been in East Dulwich for about a month now. I've got a friend who is interested in moving to the area and whe wants me to show her round. The problem is, I haven't had time to have a proper look round myself yet. So, what should I show her to prove that East Dulwich is lovely, and a good place to live for a very pretty Mexican girl.

Firstly welcome to East Dulwich, secondly you can use East Dulwich as the base to vist some of the surrounding attactions:

Dulwich Picture Gallery

Horniman Museum

Peckham Rye Park


And of course show her our excellent array of bars and restaurants. How about you tell us all which night you're showing her round the area, we all wait in a pub and when you enter we're you best friends, pat you on the back and say things like "damn good to see you", buy her drinks, offer her our seats, crack jokes about Zapatistas, make her feel at home (!?) etc. Never fails.


And tell us what you look like, so when we see you with her in the street we can nod and say hello, how you doing? Have you settled into the neighbourhood? You look well have you been working out? "You must pop round sometime the family are dying to meet you, little Jos?'s even made you a Welcome to East Dulwich cake.." etc etc


How could she resist such a community?

If you've got a car drive over the hill between Honor Oak and ED for an amazing view of East Dulwich and the whole of the city of London. Canonbie Road off Honor Oak Road I think is the best one. We were there at midnight on new years eve - was really clear and you could see all the fireworks.

No ulterior motives there then dave.

Agreed with all_star, one tree hill is a pretty cool spot, liz the first apparently stopped there once, but it's a newer tree now, but it's not really ED. Peckham rye and common, the japanese gardens there, northcross road for funky shops, spot of lunch in Franklins (devilled kidneys available from the bar mmmmmmmm). Then a pint in any of the places down from there, more food, perhaps a chinese or gasp an indian, followed by cocktails at Black Cherry or liquorice.

She'll be good and tipsy by now, and it's getting late, but of course, no ulterior motives ;?)

A "semi-rural location with easy access to the centre of town".. hmmm, sounds like FUN!

Uurgh.. Laura! "Dulwich does not need to sell itself, the fact it is..." well hopefully not the kinda place where people rap each other on the nose with a pointy finger!


Surely the best bit about ED is the charnimg residents? I'll see you crazy kids in any watering hole you care to mention ;-)

    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
