dulwichmum Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I love Dulwich, IT IS THE CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE as far as I am concerned, the only place to live in London.I love Nero's, Moo Too, Dr Boo, Hope & Greenwood, Black Cherry, Mrs Robinson, William Rose, Moxons and ... White Stuff! There are so many other reasons too, there is a lovely park just a hop and a skip off Lordship Lane, nice places to eat and drink, good hairdressers, the super dry cleaners/cobblers next to the post office, even my munchkins love it. I can even have the inside of my car cleaned of Ribena and melted chocolate. I find everyone really friendly.All that is missing is a branch of Sephora and then it would be simply perfect!

Parker's Folly Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Nothing wrong with the place, just the snotty, self-satisfied people that populate it now. The thrusting, preening, "Oh my God, look at us, we've arrived!" types, who pay over-the-top prices for very average, working class Victorian terraces stuck in a ditch in South London.
