hello there,


We are close to move from ED to West Dulwich but I am not 100% sure about our decision due to my lack of knowledge on West Dulwich.


We are living now in Beauval road, a quiet street not too far from the Dulwich park/village...the new property is in Park hall road SE21, close to west dulwich centre/shops.It's bigger and more modern inside than the house we have now, but I have some questions about the quality of life in West Dulwich.

Even if I've loved the property in WD, the environment has seemed a bit less "residential" than in ED side Village ( busier road, it's close to a really busy one, South croxed road,and around the new house, it's more various style/type of properties).

I am also questionning a bit about the "safety" around there, even if there is a lot of nice family home in WD, it seems, especially Park hall road also to be close to really up and coming streets.


At Beauval road, we are in the catchment for Heber/infant's school.I know that both of them have good reputation.

In park hall road, it seems to be elm school the closer.


Have some people here moved from ED to WD recently and I would love to have your feed-back please?

PM me if it's more convenient to give me your opinion.


I really don't want to launch a fight thread about ED or WD!!!!

Just want to be reassured that we make the good decision as I've often good advice on the forum.


Many thanks in advance.

Hello - I can't comment on Ed vs Wd for your family move but just wanted to point out that this year you wouldn't have got in at Heber being on Beaval as the catchment area was 191m... So you are not necessarily in catchment every year.


Good luck with your decision making!

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      Right or wrong, his public statements are going to make it difficult for him to work with the new US president.  Lessons from the past, don't bite the hand that feeds you. If farmers have to sell land to pay inheritance tax, then we lose food security and at the moment that isn't a good idea.

      If you've got to raise taxes, then those inheriting multi-million pound estates, landlords, second property owners, the privately educated, and wealthier pensioners (considering how they have been disproportionately insulated for many years), doesn't' seem like the most unreasonable places to do so. We can't just keep loading more and more pain on young, working renters because it's less noisy. The fact that the media are absolutely up in arms, suggests there has actually been some political bravery, and that power, wealth and influence isn't acting as an absolute inoculant to tax rises for once.

      Lammy was right on both accounts.  That is not incompetence.  Kim Darroch, the then US Ambassador was also correct with an assessment of the last Trump presidency.  I don't want to be the 51st state

      Model Wanted: Pregnant Person for Campaign Shoot (Sat 23rd, Peckham)

      By ByrdIsTheWord · Posted

      Hi all,    We are looking for a pregnant person for 1 hours modelling for a campaign shoot that is happening this Saturday (23rd November) in Peckham. We are looking for real people, so no previous modelling experience required.  The shoot is for a new body care brand, and so the model will be required to wear a bodysuit and apply product (all product is clinically proven to be pregnancy safe).  Payment would be made in a goody bag from the brand.  If this is you (or you know anyone who would be good for this), please reach out!
