Personally I love checking out my neighbourhood from the air and so I thought I would share for those who like to do the same. Taken back in November 2012.


Here is a link for anyone who wants to see the full-res version. http://dancelikenooneiswatching.com/photos/East-Dulwich-from-the-air.jpg


Enjoy,

How excellent. I took a similar photo when I was flying over but it was not nearly as clear so well done you! Love how green it looks and you can see the train line and either someone has a blue roof or a swimming pool can't work out which!

Also the edge of Brenchley Gardens, and the Reservoir.


Thanks so much for posting!

> and you can see the train line and either someone has a blue roof or a swimming pool can't work out which!


On the Google maps satellite photo there's a pair of games pitch areas together, grey and terra cotta coloured, just south of N Dulwich station, if that's what you're looking at. I'd guess that the grey one has been recoated in a trendy blue.

Good work, great pic, well done for sneaking the camera out on the plane. I flew into City the other day and couldn't pick out ED....think I was on the wrong side of the plane.


See there is some benefit to being on the flight path to all those who moan on here about having knowingly bought property under a flight path.

Glad everyone enjoyed them. I've put up a few more that I took in the sequence. I spotted Peckham Rye station first and started clicking from there. It was just my iPhone and unfortunately it doesn't capture the same quality as my SLR.

SteveUK - I actually usually pick my seat based on seeing London or ED if I can. I was flying in from Vegas and knew Heathrow lands from the east to west over ED and then Richmond Park. Was lucky to be spot on.


Ianr - Yes, it is surprising how much more interesting it is than Google Maps/Earth. Something about seeing it in one shot for real is quite fun. Speaking of maps though for those who haven't seen BING (Microsoft) maps have been updated with Aerial Photography from 2012 that is brilliant. You can almost recognise people in the photos. Super close and you can see all the detail on the buildings:

    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.  
    • Yes thanks that's exactly the choices I get.  I will block and if somehow they find a way back I'll report.
