Hi Peacem,


I've live in ED for almost 2 years so not so much a newbie however, I love where I live which is on Marmora off Forest Hill Road. It's ideal for me as I can either get walk to Honor Oak or get a bus to Pekham Rye. I dont personally prefer to live near the lively LL but is within walking distance. Ideally though Pekham Rye park is round the corner and with Harris school for girls availbale very close for sporting activities and and the newly being built Harris School for boys available for sporting activities soon I'm in a very lovely spot.


I've yet to get shin-diggy with anoyone on this forum but since living here I love it.


Be nice to you neighbours and have that community spirit and you will love it too....i hope.


There are always gonna be nice part and real crappy parts but home is what you make it unless somone cr4ps on your doorstep.....


Have fun looking.


Not so much ED Newbie

I wouldn't want to live anywhere too near a pub if you value your sleep. I would also nix living near a fast food restaurant, or any restaurant for that matter. Garbage equals more rats. Also check out the street beforehand to see if it is a cut through with speed bumps if you would be sleeping at the front of the house. The roads off Coplestone and Oglander are good. Everthorpe, Danby, Muschamp, Marsden.....but they are not strictly SE22. But they are close to ED station and a quick walk to Peckham Rye. Or you could go further into Peckham, off Bellenden Road going to PR station.


Barry Road is also one of the longest roads in East Dulwich and has MANY roads coming off it, so maybe the crime stats should be normalised for that? Honestly, some people have no grasp for statistics! These two murders were also between known individuals (the first a gang and the second, a couple) as far as I understand. So far I've heard of NO serious crimes against an innocent East Dulwich dweller, aside from the odd perry crime. Get a grip people!


Secondly, the 'nicer' the area, the higher the chance of burglaries, so if you're really concerned then you'd better just go live in a safe house somewhere are lock yourself in all day.


And if you are worried about burglaries, you're probable statistically worse off living in places like Knightsbridge/Chelsea than in ED.

    • I'm confused. If there are no lifts, does that mean people who are in wheelchairs or who otherwise can't easily  walk, or who have heavy wheeled cases which they can't lift up and down stairs,  can't use Peckham Rye station? I'd have thought that was against some or other disability legislation?
    • Whose priorities? Peckham Rye station is operated by Southern Railway. Southwark Council doesn’t own or operate the station, and it can't force Southern or anyone else to install lifts at the station. I'd love there to be lifts at Peckham Rye. It would be very expensive.
    • Anything that improves the front of the station has to be a good thing. Opening up the square in front is a superb idea, it will show the beauty of the architecture of the station, just as they did at Kings Cross when they ripped out the monstrosity of the 1960's frontage and now the station gleams. People probably go there to see the beauty of it. Now wouldn't it be good if once opened up and cleaned up, people visited to see how wonderful it then looks. I guess there is a generally lack of trust that the station square will open by the end of next year, HOWEVER, when the current frontage is removed and the square is opened up as it originally was it will look grand.  
    • i) You must think Liebour can do no wrong, can lie through their teeth and yet you appear to believe every word Starmer and his stooges utter. ii) More assumptions made by you, well guess what you're utterly W R O N G, seems like that's your first trip, just as I predicted.  iii) and you won't be blaming me old man. Shockingly, I actually have to agree with some of the points you've raised.  Reform are the relics of BNP and UKIP, both detestable so add them together and you get an even worse result which is Reform that the UK can do without.
