You must be mad, superfoods was like an overpriced cornershop compared to tesco.
We must be nearly neighbours then cos I live very near the tesco.

Their fishcakes are the dogs, I also like Pullens (same owner) for overpriced food (though the new french chef has managed to reduce the prices somewhat)...Originally Posted by T & P
yeah and it made me make the effort to use it only for bare essentials - and it had more interesting products and fruit and veg that actually was fruit and veg!

tesco sucked me in for ages before i realised i was eating sub standard produce and about the same 5 things for dinner every day
plus the queues
oh right. i live above one of the shops in w dulwich
Oh yes..pullens fillet steak with just garlic butter and some side salad and thick chips with mustard mayo.....drooling..Herne Hill rocks...but what happens when all you media types move in and change the character of the area...Their fishcakes are the dogs, I also like Pullens (same owner) for overpriced food (though the new french chef has managed to reduce the prices somewhat)...
It happened already with the commerical going all wine barrery..
how long before they get Brockwells shut down and fully gentrify....
It's always been pretty mixed in Herne Hill classwise. It's always had the middle class spill over from Dulwich and the house prices always reflected that.
It's definitely getting going again though. The flat next to my mums (3 floors incl. ground) has been turned into flats for SIX people!
I'm not a media type!
I've lived in West Dulwich for 4 years and love it
Wow! Where?
I'm Tulse Hill btw. It's so much nicer than horrid Loughborough Junction
Oi – it's very civilised around the Junction, doncha know. Well, it has since I moved in
You know where you need to move to
The only area in Herne Hill with any character anyway is that strip of West Indian shops on Dulwich Road. Herne Hill, like Tulse Hill suffers as it's essentially a road junction for people commuting back to Surrey/Kent.
Those organic steaks are cracking though init?
Never ever eat in that 'mexican' restaurant - worst food I ever had.
Will probably putting an offer in on a place in Brixton tomorrow.. fingers crossed!
wow! must be super excited!Will probably putting an offer in on a place in Brixton tomorrow.. fingers crossed!
more info!!Will probably putting an offer in on a place in Brixton tomorrow.. fingers crossed!
Yeah, few factors could get in my way, but there's a chance I'm ready to make said offer. If I do, I'll be so excited, it's a gorgeous flat, wicked location, really cheap (relative to other property in the area)
Er, like what? Don't wanna say much, 'cos there's not a lot to say. Found a flat I like, mortgage seems sorted, just a few parental conversatioons to be had.more info!!

what happened to Herne Hill/Tulse Hill/West Dulwich then
Brixton was always on the list, but I'd written it off as too expensive so didn't expect to find anything.what happened to Herne Hill/Tulse Hill/West Dulwich then

Right, learning a lot about housing market.. that one was too good to be true, 78 year lease and absentee freehold.. not worth the hassle.
Viewing 7 places on Sat.. looking forward to it.. lots in West Norwood which is further out than I'd planned, but if the right property came along..
Maybe a bit late on this one, but just to add to the general consensus... I've lived in W. Dulwich for 3 years, & it's nice.
Not much going on there, but transport's good; trains take 10 mins to Victoria every 1/2 hour (or about 4 mins to Brixton, 2 mins to HH). You can walk to HH in 15 mins, or get the bus if you're lazy (tho' often ends up taking about the same time). Oh yeah, plus there's a handy night bus that runs from Oxford circus thru' Brixton & up Croxted road, which is v. useful; get back from the middle of town at 2am in 35 mins or so.
Shops/food wise, as people have said, there ain't much aside from the wee Tesco's, which is ok apart from the queues at peak times, & aside from the country-pub-feeling-pub in Dulwich village, the pubs pretty much suck (unless there's somewhere i've not discovered yet!).
But it's very green, the air feels fresher than most places further into town, you've got various parks at your disposal (within walking distance: 2 parks in Dulwich, Brockwell park, Crystal palace is a bit of a walk but easily do-able). It's well peaceful, which is good & bad... good in that you're pretty much guaranteed no stress, no hassle... bad in that it *can* feel a bit middle aged/boring, but then personally these days I prefer to go find excitement when I feel like it & have things calm the rest of the time.
Herne Hill would be really nice if you can afford it; much more in the way of shops etc., tho' bit more hectic.
W. Norwood's always struck me as a bit crap... the high street feels kind of bad & it feels as though you'd get the roughness without any compensating excitement.... but then I've never really spent that much time there other than going to various shops, so the back streets could be lovely for all I know.
Grosun, you mean you still haven't discovered the charms of the Alleyns Head

its like drinking in a Travelodge reception
its only use if when we run low on pint glasses just pop down and get a drink, walk into the 'garden' turn left and walk home
Aw it's not that bad, quite cosy in the Winter with the Ember Inn fire burningcharms?

I prefer it in there to my local, The Rosendale, which is like a bloody barn (good pizzas though)
Been to the Mansion at Gipsy Hill a few times recently which is nice but drinks v.expensive
The Rosendale has been pretty joyless everytime ive been. its like whatever they wanted to do with it when they refurb'ed it didnt quite work!
