After having a couple of pints of real ale that has brought a smile to my face. Seriously though it seems you're not that clued up as to this area. Some estate agent schpeel for you http://www.thatchandco.com/locations/West_Dulwich.htm You perhaps ought to find out a bit more of the area if your geography is so poor.

Children and geography!


We used to get out our old bikes and explore. When we got home we drew maps from memory of where we had been.


I well remember regular visits to the West Dulwich Police Station wooden notice-board to check the Colorado beetle poster. Never did find one that we could report to the police.


The Belair council-run cafe/canteen was more useful to park-goers than the exclusive eatery that's there now.

i'd have to go for sydenham although i understand the big houses in the conservation area go for anything up to ?800k (stupid money i know, but the houses are huge)...


high street does have potential and the transport links are first rate... i dont know an awful lot about schools but i dont think that they are that great? (i'm taking about the state schools here)..

I think they're a mixed bag. A good friend of mine worked in a local school a couple of years ao and told me it was absolutely awful and advised Mrs Keef (a teacher) to avoid it. Mrs Keef did some work in another school last year though, and said it was great.


Biggest shame is that they're probably going to close Brent Knoll which is a special school that Mrs Keef worked in for most of last year. They are fantastic, and offer great support from kids from primary through secondary, with autism and other needs. But Lewisham in their knowledge have decided that these kids will be better off in mainstream classes of 30, with a couple of mornings a week one to one.... Go Bless the money men

Nunhead Lass--Please don't take offense at what I'm saying about schools. I am not slating the children who go there. I am simply saying compared to other schools in the wider area, Nunhead schools are not as good. I'm sure we can all agree that it helps to have decent facilities, staff that aren't under-supported and over-worked (and probably underpaid), and parents who are willing to get involved in the schools. Unfortunately, all these things combined need to reach a "tipping point" before things turn around for a school. But of course, it takes a long time to reach that tipping point, and usually an under performing school becomes stuck in a viscious circle.

A small quibble here, Bolands shut at least two years ago. It's now a restaurant but the names of it slips my mind. Dave, who ran the bar there now runs The Drum on North Cross Road.

Agreed, I grew up there and for the strip north of jamaica Road there simply is no comparison. As a little kid walking round that wasy I used to dream of living in one of those Warehouses overlooking the Thames.


Bermondsey is not ED - that's like comparing apples and pears. But they are both good in their own way.

Hey Downsouth I know the guys who made a stack buying up those old warehouses when they were going for a song, simply to get the storage, then sold out later. Nice guys, and own the kind of jets you dont have to bend down to get into.All of the millionaires I know from bookselling made their stack on property speculation necessitated by needing lots of cheap storage. Look and learn, as the fans used to sing...

    • Trump suffers from opening his mouth before putting his brain in gear. Needs to take a lesson in statesmanship from Carney, slow well thought out responses to media questions. How about Carney for President of the US as well. That should upset some and more.
    • As every day goes by, it looks increasingly likely that Trump is going to sell Ukraine down the river. It's a re-run of Chamberlain and Hitler over Czechoslovakia. Trump talks of re-allocating "assets" which means conceding assets of Ukraine to Putin  and of putting in peace-keeping forces into Ukraine  to "guarantee" security. History tells us that peace-keeping forces are ineffective. Remember Bosnia & Hertzogovinia in 1996. Remember the peace keepers on the Golan Heights. They disappeared without firing a shot when Serbia and Israel took military action. It will be the same in Ukraine. Give it five years (or less) and Russia will extend its land grab.  Sadly, history repeats itself because the appeasers fail to grasp the realities. Just pray that The Donald becomes the fifth before too long.
