Dulwich Picture Gallery has recently become aware a scammer who has been operating in the local area mascaraing as a Gallery member of staff. On 8th August a resident on Turney Road was called on by a man claiming to work at the Gallery called ?Jack?. Jack asked her for money, ?60-70 for a taxi to Essex, claiming that his pregnant wife was about to give birth. The resident was told that the money would be paid back to her, that the gallery would ensure it, and that she would get a bottle of wine for her troubles. Fortunately the resident was wise enough to not give him any money and the incident was reported to the police.

The man was white, medium build and height. Short brown hair and in his early 40s.

Please be aware that this individual is not connected to Dulwich Picture Gallery. If you become aware of anything similar in the future please inform the police and Gallery on [email protected]

- Such a shame the Odeon and bowling at Surrey Quays has gone

  I would not describe the area as very gentrified, esp not the bit that was built 30 years ago. It's human scale, low rise flats and terraces mixed on cul de sacs for the most part, but it's not knee deep in Gail's and, candle shops and luxury butchers. The cluster of new blocks of flats near the new Decathlon and Canada Water tube is shinier- but tbh that's just what modern blocks of flats look like these days. Everything gets promoted by estate agents as luxury. More housing is good, whatever the type - dumping supply on the market always helps. I am sure there will be adequate provision for pizza restaurants and entertainment in the new mixed use development. And don't forget everyone's favourite Dulwich Library also has a ~free~ film club for adults: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/libraries/adults/library-activities-for-adults

  Odd comment about high end development at Surrey Quays - when the docks went most of the area became very gentrified, thirty plus years ago There's the odd bit of old school working class left. Go a mile the other way, and very old school, but I don't see anyone reminiscing about closed pubs off Trundleys Road and the like , the loss of New Cross Greyhound stadium or the Venue
