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".

    • Personally I feel its a shame for the tree. The bridge looks pretty badly damaged-I just hope it does'nt mean the entrance from Dulwich Common/Lordship Lane will be closed for ages while they fix it.
    • This is such a shame for the bridge.  I wonder if anyone saw it fall, and when it was (at night?) Is the walking path through the woods still accessible?   
    • Free range chickens &/ organic whole chickens are around £15-20 retail these days…  Given their credentials in hospitality etc I’d assume Norbert’s has sourced decent quality chicken, wholesale. The fact they aren’t saying anything about that on the menu or website seems strange…  if it were true it would help justify the price. Chicken & 2 x Chips - would work out £10.50 a head between 4… not bad if it’s decent quality chicken and seasoned well with care & skill
    • I have no lawn but still trying to get wild flowers to germinate. After a couple of years sowing seeds I've finally managed to produce some ox eye daisies. Still trying to succeed with cornflowers, vipers bugloss to name but a few. A couple of foxgloves are coming up. Its a gradual process for which we need lots of patience. Don't forget after No Mow May it's Let it Bloom June.
