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?

    • 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
    • That sounds like a good addition to Lordship Lane. Good luck to them!
    • I would have agreed, but the pub which was there previously seemed to do alright? It might work the other way round, that if a pub was there the nearby businesses (eg the plant/flower  shop) might actually get more custom? Admittedly that bar which was briefly on the corner of Melford (?) Road didn't do very well, but I think that was for different reasons.
