Where does Dulwich Village end and East Dulwich start, and where does East Dulwich end and Peckham start, and where does Peckham Rye end and Nunhead start? I need to know as I generally only want to do my everyday activities in East Dulwich and Reckham Rye. Thanks.

Who actually knows.. ?


People just open up a new Pop-Up and then decide where it is according to where is #Trending at the time..


#Peckham seems to be the place to be at the momment.. #East-Dulwich is on the decline..


#Nunhead is definately on the up..

The lines tend to be drawn based on postcode boundaries. So technically, Adys RD is the dividing line between ED and Peckham. In a border context, I think someone living in Commercial Way would be unlikely to class the Bellenden end of Peckham as 'true Peckham', just as someone living on Friern would be unlikely to class Ondine as 'true ED' etc. It appears ED has now lost its edgy trend as the bland brigade has successfully transformed ED into Barnes the second. So yeah all the cool kids are in Peckham (for now).

M&S coming to East Dulwich gives it a bit of a Richmond touch.. but Richmond is by the River and has boats

and the planes fly lower and are noisier.. and Richmond has a Green where they play cricket.. and has a tube station.


East Dulwich is nothing like Richmond.. The 37 bus used to run directly between East Dulwich and Richmond but doesn't any more. But the planes that pass over East Dulwich also pass over Richmond a few minutes later.


Funny that.. init ?

Bob Buzzard I would assume the Gowlett is within the SE15 postcode area and is therefore Peckham (technically speaking), but it certainly has a lot more in common with ED/Bellenden than it does hardcore Peckham (Peckham Hill ST north). Why do you propose using strings on lampposts? Is Google on the average smart phone not good enough for boundary definition? Where is edhistory when needed.

Blue is already taken by the Ghetto Boys, in honour of their home turf of Lewisham. So that might trigger a turf war in Dulwich. But I guess it's also the colour of Dulwich College, and they do have a cadet force so would probably win.


You haven't specified a colour for Peckham. Is that because it is instead defined by the singular scent of Rye Lane? (On that note, has anyone else noticed that the "vomit cheese" smell immediately outside Peckham Rye station has disappeared in the last few weeks? I don't miss it!)

  • 4 weeks later...

It's Black (as you well know) :)

Ok, yes, thanks for this - but can you specifically say where ED ends and PR starts then? That would be helpful for me. Thank you.

I've always called it "Peckham Rye", because it's the name of the station, and it's near the common. Nothing to do with estate agents!


If you want annoying estate agent names for that area... try "Bellenden Village", or better still, "The French Quarter".

Peckham Rye is an open space consisting of Peckham Rye Common and Peckham Rye Park.


Rye Lane is the road leading to this open space.


Peckham is a vast area and has 2 stations.. Queens Road Peckham and Peckham Rye (due to it's proximity to the park.)


Bellenden Road is in Peckham and is NOT a village..


Blackheath... Highgate... and Dulwich being the only true London villages.

    • That is sad. I didn't go much but it was interesting. The pizzas were really nice. Hopefully it's not just a chicken shop for the after school market. 
    • There's an 8 storey building about 200 yards NW of the site in question! It's so unremarkable that apparently many of the objectors don't even know it exists.   1) you're objecting to the economic analysis on the basis of "having a student"? That's hardly an evidence-based position. 2) 50-100 vehicles per day for move-in and move-out weekends, not every weekend, then?  3) It is a bit disappointing that you are disregarding the fairly obvious substantive difference between students enrolled in universities and pupils enrolled in local schools. Adults travel from all over England, the UK and the world to study at university in London. Parents of pupils at state schools try to send them to study as close to home as possible. Equally, you are ignoring that the student accommodation sector doesn't have enough capacity to house all students anyway. That is why many students live in share houses, whic increases competition with "regular" non-students who also want to rent those houses. Further, it's disappointing that you have decided students' accommodation needs are somehow not a valid consideration for you. They are also members of society - although perhaps they don't vote as much in local elections as houseowners do. Finally, you are again contradicting your own position that more student accommodation is unnecessary when you point out how expensive it is! That indicates an undersupply, and is a good reason to allow private companies to build more - it depresses the market price and makes it incrementally more accessible to lower income students.   Does it not strike you as odd that are simultaneously suggesting that only rich foreign students will live in the student accommodation BUT also that there aren't enough local students to fill it up and students don't have any money to spend in the local economy anyway?
    • You can also use the CDs on a string as bird scarers on a vegetable patch or allotment! Loads of other ideas online, eg: https://www.momsandcrafters.com/things-to-do-with-cds/ It seems a waste (literally)  for them just to go into landfill. If I didn't already have a house full of things to do, I would take them off your hands! Maybe kids at  a nursery or primary school might be able to do something with them?
    • I'm in East Dulwich and heard them in the distance and also wondered what they were celebrating.
