Hello


We are thinking of moving to East Dulwich in the next few months. We have been looking at some places in Derwent grove and Melbourne road. The houses look great but we were concerned about the traffic particularly on Melbourne. Does anyone live around this area and is the traffic much of a problem? It would be good to get some inside information!


Thanks

Both of them are good roads. The biggest problem with them is parking, because they are so close to the station. Both are also used as rat runs to avoid Lordship Lane, and Melbourne is the more used of the two because it's the first turning for those coming from the village, and also because Melbourne carries on over ED Road. But Melbourne is better now than a few years back when it was on the 37 bus route.


By the way, one day they'll be building a new community hospital behind Melbourne, which will no doubt improve the view for those currently overlooking rubble. But in the medium term, perhaps in 3 or 4 years time (who knows?!), you can expect a major construction job to be going on during the day for several months.

    • 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.
