Hi both


My girlfriend and I moved to Bellenden Road a month or so ago. We really like East Dulwich, but our journey to work is from Peckham Rye so it's great to live so close to the station.


Completely agree with Chantelle about the local eateries. We also love the chocolate shop (The Melange - check it out for a thick steamy hot chocolate if you haven't done so yet), Ganapati and the Meat Wagon (which turns up from time to time at the nearby industrial estate of all places). For drinks, Bar Story and the pop-up place on top of the carpark (Franks, I think) are also good fun. Looking forward to the Warwick Gardens WingDing on Saturday week - maybe see you there ...

Consider the graceful, riverine sweep of Bellenden Road as it flows from Danby to Chadwick.


Here on its sunny banks we find bakers, choclatiers, clothiers, launderers, automobile entertainment specialists, hairdressers and licensed victuallers.


Scuttling through the undergrowth are the night animals; prostitutes, addicts and the lost seeking the warmth of a darkened burrow as day breaks.


On the upper, western reaches of the Bellenden slumber the urban masses, tightly secured in loft-converted dwellings.


To the east, the street meanders with estuarine langour and reluctance into the great Peckham Delta.


But here, between Danby and Chadwick, that is all yet to come. And life seems possible.

panda- I moved in to the victoria inn when we opened almost 4 months ago & I have been overwhelmed with the area. I feel like i have lived here for years!

everyone is so friendly & there is a real community feeling around here & i can honestly say i couldn't imagine wanting to live anywhere else.

you have Ganapati on your doorstep which i think is one of the most incredible places you could ever eat.

have you been there yet?

& obviously you came here so i'm glad you approve of your new local. I missed you that evening though so please do pop in & say hi soon.


Stephen W- did you come to the Meatwagon here last night? now we have knocked down the wall for Yianni to work his magic I'm sure he will be visiting again very soon.

    • They’ve overhauled the kitchen and I gather they have a new chef. Also, a new menu is on the way.   What with Norbert’s arriving soon on Melbourne Grove, there’s going to be an Interesting offer down there.   
    • I watched this BBC expose on the news a week or so ago and wasn’t surprised at what they found although ii’s shocking when you see what the Police uncover. The amount of nail bars in London appearing almost daily is also cause for concern. What I can’t understand is the places that were raided had thousands and thousands of pounds of unpaid gas, electric etc bills. 
    • GPs are general practitioners, hence the name; they are not specialists.  Specialist doctors only work in hospitals.  Each GP surgery has a catchment area; you cannot just choose a GP because you think they are the best match for your health condition, you have to be in their catchment.  If you are not happy with the one you are currently with, ring round the others nearby and find an alternative who is able to take you.  Then, work with your hospital clinic and the GP together to maintain your health. As an aside, I have a chronic autoimmune condition and have had no problems with the shared care of my GP (The Gardens) and hospital consultant ( I am under Prof Heneghan).  I visit the clinic twice a year, they advise my GP of any changes and the GP does my prescriptions (which include a controlled drug) and my blood tests in between.  When there has been any queries about compatibility or suitability of a treatment, the GP contacts the team at Kings for advice.  The system works perfectly.   Good luck with your change of GP and give them any hospital letters when you sign up.  A GP along cannot manage your condition, so you will need to ask your hospital specialists to set up a new shared care agreement with your new GP (this has to be done this way; a GP cannot set that up).
