Hi


Open House invitation: Forest Mews, 56a Rockbourne Road, SE23 2DD.


Are you struggling to find an affordable space to build your dream home in East Dulwich? Come and see how two local award-winning architects Robert Barker, director of Baca Architects, and his wife Jessica Lawrence have managed to squeeze three cool and innovative new homes on to a tiny triangular-shaped plot in SE23.


The canny build is now well underway with the houses due to be opened as part of the 2013 Open House scheme, enabling Londoners to see how, with clever design and spatial planning, it?s possible to create a spacious urban oasis in the heart of a city.


Unfazed by having to contend with 32 party walls, the couple has redeveloped a series of dilapidated buildings and created three bespoke homes ? loaded with green eco features - in a smart mews development surrounded by traditional Victorian stock. The houses have green roofs and will also be clad with striking greenery to the walls; with a variety of plants creating a slice of the country in the midst of South East London. Robert Barker said: ?Our small site is highly typical of many misshapen plots found stranded within tightly-packed urban areas across the Capital. Such scrubby strips of land are frequently overlooked but are actually ideal for anyone who wants to live in a certain postcode. This unique plot has enabled us to build our first home plus two other houses to help fund the development, I would definitely recommend it to others in the same position. We will be pleased to show aspiring home-owners how we did it and share our design/planning knowledge over the Open House weekend.?


Nearest rail: Forest Hill. Buses: 185,197.

Booking is essential.

Open Sat 21st and Sun 22nd September, from 10am to 5pm, last entry 4.30pm.

Tours will take place every 45 minutes, with personal insights and advice from Robert and Jessica.

Book at: [email protected]

      Needed: local registered address for my small business please

      By ms_wilson · Posted

      Hi there. I’m a local small business owner. I am struggling since a registered office service I used in Forest Hill closed down. I work from home and don’t need any coworking. I simply need a registered address to protect my identity for not publishing my address on Companies House. As far as I can tell the cheapest service for this, simply to receive one or two letters a year is £50 a month. Most of the time this service is bundled with coworking and even more expensive which I don’t need. Plus have three businesses so need to do this 3x over with some providers. I am simply looking for a local office to use as a registered address to simply be notified if there is a letter from HMRC. Please can anyone help with this or suggest a location? Happy to pay a reasonable fixed annual price. Thanks!

      Noticed today the Oliver Bonas shop is closed and it says the same on their website. Was up and running before Christmas. Wonder if they’re having a re-fit?

      Dog Faeces in East Dulwich!!

      I'd move out to the countryside.  Only worry there is the fly tipping.   https://viz.fandom.com/wiki/The_Parkie This bloke wouldn't stand for it.  Can't find the cartoon where he 'dispatches' the hound

      Elon Musk's attack on UK government / democracy

      I am quoting what a Tory SPAD said about Jenrick.  I've not analysed Jenrick's exact words but it sounds like he is going down the GB News route which if true is rather sad.  This was picked up by the media so you can follow this up - an article below, the Mail and Telegraph may have alternative takes. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jan/05/badenoch-defends-jenricks-remarks-about-people-from-alien-cultures I could stereotype and generalise about many cultures, races, nationalities and religions but I try not to.  I'd rather hear in more detail from a Pakistani community leader and the like rather than a white privileged politician.   https://mcb.org.uk/the-muslim-council-of-britain-calls-for-jenrick-to-be-sacked/
