Does anyone know or have views on Worlingham Road as I am looking at houses for sale and wondered what it is like to live there? Have previously looked at nearby roads such as Crawthew, Lacon, etc but property on Worlingham seems a bit bigger and wonder if road is quieter, being tucked away behind the others? Thanks.

Am I missing something?

I don't understand why this question warrants such harsh reactions?

There have been similar threads started in the forum, all if which (as far as I'm aware) have been treated respectfully.


Surely it is sensible to do as much research as you can before buying into the hugely expensive property stock of ED.....


good luck in your quest

I live on worlingham road, parking is not brilliant but always manage to get a space. Houses are bigger as it's not as pretty as Lacon and Crawthew roads, great location for everything and is quiet even though off East Dulwich Road. I would recommend it-but of course I live there so I would.

Jeez what is wrong with some people?? well said ellie78.

i live on worlingham and like it - quiet road, though you do get people speeding down it sometimes. parking can be a bit of a pain and i have had to park in adjacent roads before but doesn't happen too often - usually when spaces aren't taken up by skips then there's enough space. good location too - you can walk to the station in 10 mins, peckham in 20 minutes, you're minutes from peckham rye park and lordship lane. i don't know about everyone else's houses but mine is very old - there's no straight corners, everything is wonky, no insulation, so freezing in the winter and cold in the summer, but as we rent there's not much that we can do about it. the road seems to be a mix of old and newer houses so depends on what one you're looking at. anyway good luck with your house hunting!

Worlingham is a lovely road, it's fairly quiet as, unlike crystal palace road that runs parallel - it's not a through road.


if you live on the right (if you're standing with your back to Goose Green and looking up the road) you will probably have a nice garden that gets all the sun in the evening.


if you live on the left you will most likely end up with a postage stamp sized one that only gets sun in the morning, ho hum ;-)


house prices are quite variable, we got ours for a fairly good one as it was previously a bedsit and basically a right mess, great if you want to get your foot on the property ladder in a nice area but I can safely say I'd never do it again, too much stress, especially if you have neighbours who want you to continue living in squalor and not attempt to do any work to your property!


houses are quite big though but yes, they lack insulation so walls are thin and you can hear your neighbours if their TVs are on loud!


great road though, lovely plum trees :-)

Why Worlingham Road?


It is cramped, heavily parked and doesn't have much character.


The only good thing I can say about Worlingham Road is that when I was courting my wife in the early seventies she lived on Worlingham Road. I remember we walked up and down that road, arms round each other, oblivious to the rest of the world, for hour after hour.


Wouldn't have bought a house there though, even in those far off days.

I looked at a house for sale on Worlingham road a couple of weeks back. Personally I thought it was quite narrow compared to a lot of terraced houses in the area, meaning that if you have a good sized middle-of-the-lounge coffee table, it ends up virtually on top of the hearth of the fire. Also, the garden wasn't a postage stamp, it didn't really exist beyond the side return. On the positive side, the location is good and I guess that's what your paying for. Personally i'd move into Se15 slightly and get a slightly chunkier house, but it just depends on your priorities.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
