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!)

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.

      Things have changed a lot since the 2024 election. But the trends even in that period are very clear.  <iframe height="537px" width="100%" src="https://www.ons.gov.uk/visualisations/dvc3411/fig01/index.html"></iframe> This graph shows the trajectory and it's very bad news for housebuilders and the housing market.

      Post Office Lordship Lane is Broken

      By Eats Dulwich · Posted

      How widely are people aware of Royal Mail's sending service - if it's a parcel you can pay and print off label at home and just drop off. link below. They will even pick it up for a small extra charge (maybe even free depending on item). I did this on Monday and was aiming to drop off at LL PO but saw the queue was stretching way out into the street so diverted over to corner shop in Upland Road and dropped it off there.  https://send.royalmail.com/?cid=SM_RMP_0223&s_kwcid=AL!10933!3!781157212692!b!!g!!royal mail tracked 48&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23192018280&gbraid=0AAAAADnU4TDfp6wGzzGiPexY0ahf0UnAT&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyP3KBhD9ARIsAAJLnnYKkFDCIiPu21DB_Iv_oQaBMiAsWz8toFN1mHaGgYdQFRc5U9UfZ8MaApJpEALw_wcB It might help morale if they got their sign fixed. It's been like this since before Christmas.

      Twitter / 'X'

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      Elon Musk's 'X', rapidly spreads misinformation, hate speech, harassment and enables the creation and distribution of deepfakes. It is in my opinion, having a malign influence on society. Recently it has been reported that 'Grok' (it's AI function) allows people to create sexualised images of children. It is disgraceful that the UK government isn't taking any action to regulate the platform, in the absence of their putting reasonable controls in place themselves. At the very, very least, the UK government and our MPs should not be actively supporting 'X' by using it themselves. If you agree, I would encourage you to write to Ellie Reeves demanding some action (she posts regularly on the platform). Her email address is [email protected]

      Only tend to use Lordship Lane if necessary opting for  Denmark Hill. Or Little Hut (near Nat West Bank, Peckham) who have longer opening hours and offer  Royal mail, Yodel, Inpost.
