Moving to ED


Recommended Posts

Hello,


My boyfriend and I are thinking about moving to East Dulwich in the autumn, I was wondering whereabouts would be a good place to start looking. I need to be close to a train station that gets me to East Croydon and he needs to get onto the Thameslink trains (but neither of us mind changing trains if needs be).


Any advice would be much appreciated!


Thanks

I worked in Croydon for a (short) while, and it was a pain in the ass getting there. There is a direct train, but they're not frequent and the last one in the evening was stupidly early. However, there is a bus route which goes along Peckham Rye, Barry Road, etc, which is OK as long as you don't mind a fairly lengthy journey.


On the other hand, it's about a 25 min drive, or I imagine about a 30 min cycle.

It's probably quicker cycling than driving!

You'd be best looking at Herne Hill/North Dulwich than E Dul I'd say. HH for the Thameslink trains, HH or N Dul for trains to Tulse Hill or Norwood or Streatham where you can easily change for a Croydon East train. Direct trains from W Croydon to North Dul station.

Hmmm, me cycling is prob not the best plan!


Looking at the trains from ED they'd be ok for me, just a question of whether there is anywhere nice that is walkable to there and say Herne Hill for the Thameslink.

Peckham Rye has Thamslink trains (Trains to Victoria, Blackfriars, London Bridge). You're best living somewhere around The Gardens area, as you'll be equidistant from both ED and PR stations. It's 5mins on a bus to PR station from The Gardens and only 5min walk to Lordship Lane.

    • We ended up getting a large garden shed for our build, it did the job and kept it after to store the garden and sports stuff. If you need off site storage, most of the storage companies do introductory offers, such as £1 for first month and its generally cheaper to book this online to avoid the admin fee - check the small print as most charge a lock fee and compulsory insurance fees. Consider how often you'll need to access your items as the cost is generally higher for more accessible storage where you can visit as you please, such as Suregard and Big Yellow, and cheaper for the companies where you fill a storage container and they take it away to a remote storage location. Hope this helps

    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Leon from Electrical Initiative Ltd did a fantastic job replacing our bathroom fan and light today. He is super responsive and easy to communicate with. He is professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Leon took the time to explain what needed doing, worked efficiently, and left everything neat and tidy. It’s rare to find someone so committed to quality work and customer satisfaction – highly recommend Leon for any electrical needs!
    • True. But I hope you aren't saying that to try and erase the situation in Gaza? Where our government is actively contributing to the genocide by selling arms and contributing to intelligence missions (via Cyprus). As well as a complete failure to meaningfully condemn
