Could be one for the lounge this - it's definitely ED related but is whimsical too - let's start and see what happens


If ED and it's environs were somewhere else what would the different areas be called?


As an example the area at the top of LL near the library has been called the Upper East Side - a NY reference which probably makes:


North Cross RD = Greenwich Village

Peckham Rye = Battery Park.

Dulwich Village = The Hamptons


Anyone else have any NY references and then we could move on to another city.


If there are any artists out there perhaps they could sketch these up as they develop and they might end up being worthwile local artwork?

I like the buildings being named as well - some more dubious than other tho'


Some great suggestions on here but preferably we should have some kind of geographical relationshiop. Bermondsey might be the Bronx to some people but that's isn't going to work on a map.

(Besides I walk through it every day and it's not bad at all. I saw Tobet Maguire looking at some apartments there yesterday as well)

funnily enough I have never had reason to hang a left when I reach that crossroads - I am curious by nature but you are hinting I would be wise not to?


Anyway - back on topic - do we have any volunteers to sketch this out - I think it could be a seller (along with the ED postcards)

Indeed Tillie, I lived on Rotherhithe St (Downtown area)for 4 years prior to moving into ED in 1981. I think the part of Bermondsey I was referring to was the Abbey Road Grange Road St James Road triangle, not at all salubrious!


BTW, when you mentioned, ?faces? did you mean faces in the south London gangster idiom?

    • Wouldn't it make more sense to ask the guy who posted the rumours for the source of the information? The Crown & Greyhound refurb was a big job - not surprising that it took longer than just a simple repainting. But renovating the Grove would be even bigger because it's totally wrecked, and there's a shortage of skilled labour and much more expensive materials now...
    • Rather bizarrely, I received a text from TJ surgery offering this service. To be clear, no data was asked for in the text so I don't suspect a scam but surely this is dodgy? Where does my DNA info end up and who would have access? I'm going to the surgery on the invite date to ask precisely this.
    • I used Emmaus https://emmaus.org.uk/slc/ to clear my grandfathers house last year. They were great. They all charge for this service so will come and give you a quote first.  
    • Hi, does anyone know of any charities or companies that can come and clear your house to be donated for a good cause? I know the British heart foundation does but wondering if there are others? We are moving overseas and hoping to donate most of our belongings in one swoop if we can! Thanks.
