Hi everyone, I'm writing a listicle for a London publication with the title 'you know you grew up in East Dulwich when...'


So far I have:


You know that the best view of London can be found from Dawson?s Heights field or Nunhead reservoir


You supported Dulwich Hamlet FC before they were cool


You've probably lied about being from Peckham at least once


You bought all your gifts at either ED or Willow on Lordship Lane


Interested to hear your suggestions!

I think that can be extended to the whole of London......

You remember when Woolworths were in the building where Foxtons now occupy.


When North Cross Road market was famed for getting cheap items and operated during the week.


When there were at least 3 or 4 butchers in the lane.


When you got money from the office licence for bringing back empty pop bottles.


When there were corner shops on most corners.

I've read this a few times Rendel... but no. Nothing.

When: you got chucked in Peckham Rye Pond, went to the R Whites Disco, when your expectant friends skipped boroughs for their delivery to get a better location on their paperwork, when you went swimming at the baths then undone it all with chips over the road. When people in East Dulwich, leave "east" out, like they are in the posh bit! When you could drive all through the back turnings "outlander rd".

    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.  
    • BIAB is supposed to be less damaging to the nails than Shellac. It stands for Builder in a Bottle. 
    • I have been training at the hub for just over one year. I really enjoy the variety of training offered and the quality of the instructors. Very effective group classes and enjoyable in the open air! A very welcoming place which makes a fitmess journey pleasant!
