does it have to be strictly East Dulwich - if not how about Phyllis Pearsall, who lived in Court Lane Gardens and who started the A to Z. Didn't William Blake have his vision of angels at Peckham Rye, and there is a blue plaque to the actor Boris Karloff at 36 Forest hill road.

why do people think that 'interesting' facts means 'celebrity' facts.


i would think census info would provide more interesting stuff about the demographic of the area. ED has changed immensely over the past 10 years, is any of that reflected in the census data?

There are no very interesting facts about East Dulwich it was largely farmland until the late 19th century, has had a couple of famous authors and a horror film star born/live locally and now has a smaterring of tv actors and a few comics...it has very little of architechtural merit and is mentioned in a jeeves novel (the mention hinting at the awful drab surburban nature of it). Doesn't mean I don't like it but it's hardly Greenwich...or even Deptford....or even Camberwell for historical/literary merit is it?

    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
    • My initial thought was whether they would keep the East Dulwich Road site given how close they are - but then they've only just re-done it so I assume will be planning to run both. 
    • I hope witnesses are phoning 999 to report a crime in progress.
