SeanMacGabhann Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Could be one for the lounge this - it's definitely ED related but is whimsical too - let's start and see what happensIf 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 VillagePeckham Rye = Battery Park. Dulwich Village = The HamptonsAnyone 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?

Nero Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 This is a good idea. It reminds me of the Underground map in which the stations have names of the stars of the constellation.

SeanMacGabhann Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 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) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/870-alternative-dulwich/#findComment-21473 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TillieTrotter Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Bermondsey has a reputation worse than its bite IMO. Rotherhithe is rather sulubrious, I lived there before moving to East Dulwich and we had lots of well known faces moving into the area.

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?
