hello... my boyfriend was beaten up and mugged quite badly yesterday on the train from east-dulwich to gipsy hill at about 6.00pm by two men one in roughly mid-fourties and the other mid-twenties. The took his wallet and phone etc...and beat him and he has probably broken his jaw... he thinks that these two guy were probably on the train on purpase to do this.... did anyone else see them?? anyway.. be careful !!!

A big deterrant is needed to be honest in cases like this - the last few attacks on trains/tubes seem to have been sent down for a while.


Three girl muggers caught mind - maybe a bit young for the ones mentioned on here previously.

I'm really sorry to hear that. I think however the police are looking out for these men. My boyfriend was also mugged (though later, around 8 PM) at the gipsy hill stop on his way back to ED and was threatened though thankfully not beaten (this was about 6 months or so ago). He unfortunately had his laptop with him at the time and they stole it. When he reported it to the police they said they had several similar reports and were attempting to catch this man/men. Speedy recovery to your boyfriend

oh my lord Im so sorry to hear this.. I was on the 6.10 from LB to GH and nothing so can only assume it was a different train.


I have just moved to opposite GH station and I must say I dont feel safe and am beginning to regret my decision..


Anyway I will keep an eye out for you and again Im really sorry and hope he mends quickly..

i'm not one for thinking that we live in crime-ridden times but crims do seem to go to violent lengths for little rewards these days - see the red apple newsagent thread from the other day.


i always thought that GH was not a bad area, the bit round the station looks quite posh.

This is completely frightful. The poor unfortunate man. His confidence must be shattered. The people who did this are animals.


What part near the station looks posh Mr Chin? Gipsy Hill is indeed a dreadful toilet of a place, I agree with Mr Snorky. They should build a wall around it and guard it with sub machine guns. Actually, Norwood is horrid too. Could we not have a great big wall around Gipsy Hill, Norwood, and Brixton and Peckham as well?


Er... actually, why don't we just create a huge gated development called Dulwich (SE21 and SE22). We could get some great big dogs and athletic testosterone fueled security men wearing combat trousers and large boots. I should imagine that the security men would have enormous rough skinned hands and very short hair...


OHMYGOD! I have drunk that last glass much quicker that I thought, I will just go and lie down for a while...

As with everyone (including DM) my thoughts go out - it's an awful thing to happen to anyone and the repercussions can be the worst part - hopefully a speedy recovery and maybe join the forum at the next drinks for a bit of humanity-faith-restoration therapy?


PeckhamRose - As a long term reader of DulwichMum I'm aware that here posts are rarely "on-topic" but are often just the tonic for anything bad going on in life. It is satire after all and even if the victim in this particular case is still feeling shaky, it can be therapeutic to have some levity in even the grimmest of situations. And she will have seen more from the "grim" side of life than most of us, believe me


If we are to censor or "advise" DM to amend her posts then we will be in a situation where any humour/satire will be as cutting as the that found in Saudi Arabia. Songs such as "Dear God" would be shelved lest they cause offence to recently attacked Christians (or somefink)


(all that said I',m assuming you are aware that DM is satire by now? The fact that people might take here posts as seriously as say.. Louisa's is frightening)

Gipsy Hill is a such lovely Conservative Ward, loads of very, very nice people and hardly a bad word to be said about it. The local councillors are always out an about fighting crime. They say it is the greatest place on planet earth and very safe. They want lots and lots of security.

    • I have had this many times at Superdrugs on LL. I find it disorganised and many times I was yelled at 'we are closing in 5 min' when I entered after work on my way home. I don't mind being told that they are closing soon, but not the way they did it.  I try to avoid it now and go to the store in Peckham which I find fab with bigger selection and prices correctly noted. 
    • Jo Berry and her inspirational story come tomorrow on PECKHAM PODCAST. If you're not familiar with it, try it. An audience of locals were rapt. Their Q+A ran an hour. Available from midday: https://www.youtube.com/@PECKHAMPODCAST-r2f
    • Couldn't agree more with the recommendations for Greg and Raven Plumbing & Heating. Swift and accurate communications, speedy diagnosis of the issue with our ancient boiler, and a well-priced solution identified and put in place. All topped by friendly and helpful face-to-face interactions with Greg and his team. Thanks again, guys!
    • Not sure if this has already been posted, but players are needed for a league that is being put on by Go Mammoth. Players can sign up as a team or individuals for a Men's Monday Nights or a Mixed Tuesday Nights league. It's on a new indoor pitch apparently. https://www.gomammoth.co.uk/5-a-side-football/dulwich-north/?leagueid=2374
