I know money orientated people that cashed in on inflated ED property prices and moved to cheaper Nunhead-they have regretted for various reasons incl high levels of crime esp associated with gangs, unfriendly people, lack of range of shops, and a general rough area. They are looking to move out already.
What a load of rubbish unlurked. I live in NunHead and can honestly say if someone offered me the chance to live in ED I would not take it - whereas a few years ago I hankered after ED. Every house that goes up for sale near me goes with lightening speed. I live on a lovely quiet, leafy street, 2 mins from Peckham Rye, am now surrounded by a selection of great pubs, great shops, great cafe, lovely neighbours, good primary school etc. it doesn't feel very different to ED to be honest , except a little less 'busy' and crowded which to me is a good thing. I think there's a big difference to the bit of NunHead near the rye and the one past the station and prices reflect this. My three bed terrace has more than doubled in price since I've lived here so while of course it's still cheaper than ED the gap is rapidly closing so it's not necessarily the much cheaper option though properties past the station, towards queens road might well be. All in all I love it.

Yes the gap in house prices is closing rapidly and yes, houses are selling very quickly.


Rough area, unlurked? You're joking, yes?


Unfriendly people? Quite the opposite in my experience.


Though - if "money-orientated" people are moving to Nunhead, that's a definite point against as far as I'm concerned. It's one of the reasons I'm considering moving out of ED :(


ETA: I'm looking at the Rye end, not the Queen's Road end.

I live at the top end of Nunhead/Peckham Rye. It's quieter up here than down in Nunhead Central, but I love the proximity to One Tree Hill, Brenchley Gardens, Nunhead Cemetery and the Ivyhouse, plus the fact my garden backs onto the reservoir. Lordship Lane is a 20mins stroll away, across the park and down Northcross Road. I can't say how it compares to living in ED, as I moved here from Brixton.

I've heard the Ivy House is rubbish.

    • Hi if anyone has one pm me cheers 
    • You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.
    • I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?
    • Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
