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 ;-)

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
