How would you compare East Dulwich vs Wimbledown (town not village)?

Prices are comparable, maybe slighlty more expensive in Wimbledon, but it really depends on the streets.

My perception is that:

- East Dulwich has a more villagey feel / sense of community

- Nicer high-street / shops in ED vs chains of Wimbledon, however in Wimbledon town you can really find everything

- Wimbledon has better / more consistent transport link options, even though the commute to the City seems comparable in time if not slightly better from ED

- Both areas seem to attract families and young-professionals, however Wimbledon seems a bit more white / less-diverse than Dulwich (I also think Wimbledon is Tory vs ED is Labour)

- More international community in Wimbledon / more people with education abroad - ED seems more a British area

- Both offer good primary schools, but with very small catchment areas


Do you agree with this? Any other ideas?

I've lived in both. Comapring apples and pears. Wimbledon is sprawling, lacks any sort of central hub to it. Traffic is a nightmare. Pubs are pretty poor - generally but not all. Probably easier to find schools for kids though. ED does have a more local feel although this is changing too. I'd pick ED everytime.

    • 100%. Many of the problems that Labour have (after 1 year in office) are down to that 14 year legacy. They have very little room for manoeuvre. UK debt is around £2.925 trillion and the costs of borrowing are rising. The government is at the mercy of the bond markets. Meanwhile many services are on their knees and people are demanding investment.
    • Heya - not sure where to ask this, but I have an appointment on Bellenden Road tomorrow and in order not to miss too much time at work, I was going to work from a cafe nearby. Is there anywhere that would allow this for like an hour? I'd just be tapping away on a laptop and buying a coffee etc.
    • I'm getting into golf and have played a few times. Looking for a whole golf set to get started. Budget ~£200 max    Anyone looking to get rid of an old set? Ideally want to buy something all in one.
    • The tories didn't lose their way towards the end. They destroyed the country over 14 years.
