I was assaulted and robbed at 12:55am on Copleston Road, just off Grove Vale on Friday night (23/9/2011), by two non-white youths. I was lucky to escape serious injury - though I was punched multiple times to my head and ribs. I just wanted to let people know and to be safe - the attack happened only a few hundred yards from the East Dulwich Tavern which I had just left.


A very kind gentleman found my credit card and driving license by the Magnolia Pub on Lordship Lane. If anyone else has found any other items with A Taylor on them or a dark brown leather Mulberry wallet I would be grateful if you can let me know. I can't imagine my i-phone will have been thrown away! The same gentleman suggested I alert everyone on this forum.

Sorry to hear that. Do you think you were assulted because you had an iphone or was it just random? It seems iphones are the thing to steal at the moment if the reports are a true reflection. Thanks for reporting it though. It may save someone from having the same experience.
Yes, I was answering a call as I left the pub - so I'm sure that is why I was selected. That said, I'm sure they would have assaulted someone that night, even if a phone wasn't flashed. They were clearly lying in wait for a victim. I've told the Police.

There is - one guy even managed to get his laptop camera (ok that was an apple laptop) to take pics of the scum before getting the cops to pay a visit.


findmyiphone app is the start.

xxxxxxx


Bit difficult to call police when the robbery happens if somebody has nicked your phone .....

Ummm really sorry to hear about this. It happened to me a few years ago outside the police station. I have to say the police were completely useless. They seem to wait in a car, follow you and then jump out just when its a bit dark (like at the back of the police station!).


We all must be aware but not paranoid!

i know it was poor liz , darlin hope your ok i was broken into at 5.30 am while in bed they came in stole my bag and lovely new car , police have been very good keep your doctors double locked or you wont be covered by the insurance i am lucky they didnt come upstairs, East Dulwich is not the safe place it used to be ladies dont walk home at night get a cab x philly:)-D

Be careful on the No.12 bus as well, I was mugged on that the other week at about 6:15pm on a Friday evening so when the bus was pretty packed. Helpfully the cctv wasn't working. As muggings go it was pretty mild to be fair - physically unscathed and he dropped my bag so just got my ipad which I stupidly had on display. Apparently it's not the first time it's happened, I think it was a kid taking an opportunity rather than hanging around in wait so less sinister. I don't think any area is particularly less safe than it was, these things happen and it's unpleasant but unfortunately they do.

    • It always amazes me how people choose to live near a pub which is already there, and then make life difficult for the pub because of noise! So it's great that Lulark is checking it out beforehand! Hoopers (R.I.P.) had the same problem. People moved in next to the pub and then complained about noise .... People have different thresholds for noise, so probably the best thing would be to go to the house  at different times of the week/day/evening and see whether the noise level is acceptable to you inside (if possible) and outside the  house (in the garden, if it has one?)? You could also ask the pub what events (if any) they hold during the week, and check out the size of their garden? Noise from the garden will obviously be more in the Summer. You could also ask them if they have had any complaints about noise from nearby residents? I imagine they would be happy to tell you, because they won't want anyone else moving in who is likely to cause them grief 😅 Also, they may have a time after which people have to be inside the pub rather than in the garden, so you could ask them about that. Gowlett Road is a nice area to live (and the pub is also a nice friendly pub!) . Good luck!
    • I'm guessing it must have been early. I passed about 7:30 and there was no signs of police or ambulance only the recovery truck.  My guess is that the bin lorry was approaching from the JAGS direction, heading down the hill, turned right, overcooked it and tipped.  Hopefully no one was seriously injured though I imagine those in the lorry must been hurt.
    • We live on Adys (just round the corner). The area is safe and we’re happy for our child to walk around by themselves. There are occasional phone snatchings outside East Dulwich Station but I don’t think it’s massively different from most of London.    The Gowlett is pretty tame, there are tables outside so there will be some noise of course. We have friends on Gowlett and they’ve never complained about the noise. I seem to recall that a couple moved in to the road and made life pretty difficult for The Gowlett for a while over noise, if you hunt around you should find the thread.  I guess it’s whether you’re looking at a house straight across the road from the pub or further down the street but overall it’s a nice area, convenient for transport and the schools are decent.  Good luck. 
    • Fortunately it's school holidays. Depending what time of day it happened there could have been lots of children around.
