Hi everyone,


I just moved from Switzerland to East Dulwich a little less than 2 months ago and so far have struggled getting to know anyone (mostly because I?m shy in social situations) so I figured I?d try the forum. :) (I hope this is the right section for this.)


I?m pretty chill and would love to connect with people of all ages, backgrounds and interests, male or female, singles, couples, families, ? (I myself am 28, female, single, no kids but love children, currently no pets but absolutely a dog person).


are there any local ?meetups? where my awkward self could try and get to know people? or would anyone be interested in meeting for coffee or a walk in one of the lovely parks?


I?ve already checked meetup.com, but would prefer getting to know people who specifically live in ED since I?m a bit of a homebody and prefer to stay in or around this wonderful area as much as I can (other than work).


related to this, is anyone else likely going to be alone for Christmas and would like to maybe do something one or both days?




Cheers,

Tanja

Hi Tanja,


Welcome to East Dulwich!


It's not like me to throw myself out there, because much like yourself, I'm very socially shy & awkward. Just call me the Newt Scamander {Fantastic Beasts} of East Dulwich??? 😅


I like to spend the majority of my time around animals {I'm the girl behind a local & personal cat sitting service called "The Wingless Bird"}, but my background is in fashion, floral & web design. I'm very much a Libra so I'm easy to connect with.


Because I work so locally, I'm always around between 11-2pm on my lunch breaks. Count me in for a coffee meet up/gathering or if you just ever need a hand with anything, I'd love to be someone you can call on for help!


Warmest wishes,

Heather

I'm unsure if you work, or study, but volunteering is a great way to meet people and get out there? Also check book groups etc in What's On?

      The Mansion Tax

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!

      I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
