I used to live in ED from 1969 - moved away in 1971 and recently moved back - so take my word for it ED has changed but of course so has everywhere else ! Just get over it

I remember in the 80's some people did use these names and also Stockwell became San Ockwell..what goes round ect.etc.

Saint Ockwell actually, in honesty all made up by journalists or said ironically doncha know

We reached a point this year when we looked at our apartment we have lived in for 8 years and had it valued ( for a ridiculously high amount) And had a ponder about wether to sell up and get a house somewhere cheaper (we could never afford a house here, even with the equity from our home.) After a while we realised that we have such friendly neighbours, and love using Lordship lane where we regularly bump into people we know, that we thought why should we move to somewhere where we might not have any of those things just for the sake of an extra room and some stairs. So have decided to stay put.

Everywhere I have lived in London in the past 18 years has had a mix of nice and not so nice people, I suppose I have been fortunate to meet more of the former.

Peckham Wry wins by a self-conscious whisker.
