Due to the international interest in ED, It is now time to produce a guide to ED, so allow the expected throngs of international jet setters an easy assimilation & allow them to use their precious time to the best effect - a begiuling combination of A-Z, Time Out & local Dictionary


no particular order


North Cross Road Market ( The )


A line of council maintained stalls & spaces situated in the Vibrant, Buzzy,exciting North Cross road area of SE22.Vendors sell a wide range of goods, mostly useless, all being insanely overpriced. ED Residents do not actually shop or buy anything at the market, as there is a plethora of retail outlets within walking distance. The market is used mosly by residents to show their prospective In Laws that the area is not a scruffy suburb and they have taste abd culture, befiting a future son in law.The Usual route for exploring the NCR market is via a Lordship Lane gastropub for an offal based lunch, thence a leisurely stroll in the direction of CrystalPalace road.Accepted Protocol means that the ED resident must always constantly remind their out of town visitors/ Prospective in laws, that ED has a village atmosphere and a wide selction of esoteric goods on offer , to suit the dymanic nature of this up and coming Area. Repeat ad nausem for any subsequent tranches of visitors.ED Residents with children should include remarks on the fantastic primary state schooling, but avoid any discussion of potential Secondary schooling Options.

East Dulwich is easily reached from International Airport London Gatwick.


First Capital Trains to London Bridge then Number 40 Bus to the Heart of East Dulwich.


Gatwick Express to Victoria then Number 185 Bus to the Heart of East Dulwich.


Be amazed at the opportunities to waste your money.


Local pubs, no need for cash. Card will do nicely. (minimum charge may apply)


Visit the new Waitrose. Opening in ED shortly.


Just a stroll from North Cross Road Market. You will see the Quaint Terraced houses

the locals live in (Guided Tour avaiable) Ask at the ED Tourist shop. Opening in ED shortly.

Broad-bosomed, bold, becalmed, benign lies East Dulwich 4 square on the London Bridge line. We enter East Dulwich through the verdant grasslands of Dulwich Park or Peckhan Rye, a rose red garden half as gold as green, matched by no marvels seen in eastern cheam. Lo stands a church clock at ten to three and is there honey still for tea. East Dulwich, gateway to the south? (Inspired by words from D. Norden and F. Muir). - 'oneys off dear. -




'Balham Gateway to the South' Peter Sellers 1958. (Not much different to ED?)

    • The year of Councillor Naima Ali's tenure as Southwark Mayor comes to a close on Saturday. Her energy and enthusiasm have made her a popular local figure and she has been dubbed the Hugging Mayor and sometimes the Dancing Mayor. She talked with Chris Haydon on PECKHAM PODCAST about her life journey, FGM and being proud to be British:  
    • It's started. And seeing it just now made me feel genuinely a bit flat and sad. 
    • I'd forgotten about that place.  It wasn't a market as such, it was just run by one  couple. They did have some quite interesting things. I still have a mirror I got from there, which had been  put inside an old painted  shuttered window frame from somewhere in India. Mumbai I think. There also used to be occasional indoor  markets in the church hall where the cinema now is, next to where the Irish shop used to be. But if memory serves they were usually either jumble sales (do they still exist?) or craft sales before Christmas. There have also been occasional indoor markets at the church hall in Dulwich Village and the church hall at the church in Barry Road up by the Plough. There never seemed to be many people buying things at them. But it does all depend on what is being sold, whether it appeals to the local demographic,  where the market is located and how it is publicised. And, obviously,  whether it is profitable for the traders.
    • How the hell did Mad maxxi do that given the state of the rest of us?
