I was walking along Lordship lane today when I fainted and hit my head on the ground (I am okay now if slightly concussed!). One lady managed to grab my rucksack and stop me hitting the ground so hard. Someone else rushed to get me a cup of water from a cafe, a passing nurse also stopped and checked I was okay and finally another very kind lady drove me home.


I just wanted to say I felt so touched and if any of them are reading this then thank you so much, it makes me very happy to know I live in such a caring and nice area :-)

Hi Mokoglides, hope you are ok now, get along to the doctor just to confirm all is ok, if you have not already done so. The ED community are lovely, and we we are very unique in the sense, that we do look out for each other. We are very blessed, and the East Dulwich Forum, is a fantastic platform for our sense of community.

Thanks ED Forum :)-D

We have lived here for 4 months and whilst have not needed rescuing from fainting on Lordship Lane, we have been struck by how friendly everyone is here. Friends had commented on the sense of community before we moved in and it has proved to be a happy place to be. It is great to walk down Lordship Lane (particularly on a sunny spring day) and see how many people smile and say hi. We are definite ED-converts! Here's to more sunny days, the advent of summer and glasses of winr outside at all these new bars opening up (irrespective of the merits of their new names!)

      GALA 2025

      By fishboy · Posted

      I would have thought the cost of erecting X meters of metal barriers would be the same irrespective of location, plus given the issues with access now due to the "bunds", it would also be easier given the ample direct access the common provides? The reason I've heard from the organisers is that their footprint has been tailor made for that part of the park, so it's not possible to fit it anywhere else. Which is a ridiculous argument given that  they've already altered / extended it due to the space they've 'lost' from the "bunds". The reason I've heard from FOPR and others is that as the common is public land (or similar) it requires permission from the Home Secretary (or similar) due to ancient grazing rights or something. Oddly it doesn't seem to have affected the circus, the steam fair, the dog show etc etc etc Yes, the wide path where Parkrun starts & finishes will become a controlled crossing during the build, and completely closed off during the festival. Also, when I asked about the reason for the extended footprint onto the sports pitch, they said it was to replace lost space where the bunds are, which they used to store equipment. However, they were unable to explain where this storage area now was on the new plan... And when asked about the loss of the sports pitch due to the extension & access road, they said the council had assured them there were no matches booked for that period. But what about the kids, families, who play on them? No answer...

      I think one of the organiser's marketing lines for the event describes the festival as 'nestled' in the park- clearly having the trees and park as a backdrop is viewed as a major selling point.

      Thames Water - water meters

      By first mate · Posted

      It may be good to check the meter is not malfunctioning; this can happen. Equally there may be a slow leak. If TW were sure metering would reduce your bills- I think there is some kind of comparison transition period, where they get a sense of how much water you actually use- then I'd think it is worth checking.
