I think it's cheap because it's a bit middle-of-nowhere-ish and the transport links aren't that great and there's bog all to do. West Dulwich anyway.

BTW Dulwich Picture Gallery isn't free for everyone but they do have much more generous concessions than most other non-national museums.

Oh, I dunno.. direct trains to Victoria, Blackfriars, City, Farringdon, Kings Cross, Gatwick, Brighton, etc. But then this does take into account my proximity to Tulse Hill station n' all, in fairness.
As for nothing to do, yeah, not much in way of nightlife. There's The Railway at Tulse Hill but not much else. 5 mins on the train to Brixton though. Good for weekend days, so much green space there's probably better access than living in a provincial town, museums as mentioned, really good cycling, some nice options for eating out in Dulwich.
I certainly plan on buying round here one day, love it, about as green as you can get in any city!
ED ( rather than snobby Dulwich )is great- Ise an ED resident, but its changing daily - the Wandsworth Diaspora are flooding in and you can feel the change in attitudes on the streets for a few years ago.
Price wise, its exploded - theres a 2 bed GF flat in the next street - £360K! who the fuck can pay that for a ground floor flat ?
Sainsuburys is shut for a week as it expanded and will doubtles open with a a new setup to cater to the well heeeld ever so slightly earnest and thrusting arrivals- the new arrivals are now bealting about Lordship lane being " taken over by chains" - despite the fact that their arrival has pushed up rents that effectively exclude little shops that have been around for a decades.
Nice place to live - too much scum coming in tho'

WHICH BOROUGH HAS THE BEST LOOKING INHABITANTS?
Out in East Dulwich last night, it struck me that, overall, East Dulwich does not appear to sport a particularly good-looking populace. Not as bad as Nunhead, obviously. But there is a grimy, potatoey sheen to most of the people you see on the streets of SE22. Now, I’m no Adonis myself. But there’s no doubt the inhabitants of some other areas of town are more consistently pleasing to the eye. On the Kings Road or on Battersea Rise, for example, the overall radiance of passer-bys – male and female – is high. Islington, too, isn’t bad.
So is there a best looking borough? And why are some better than others? Is it just wealth or youth?

Hackney's full of yuppies though. There again, so is Brixton so we must be as equally good-looking

Minnie, what is this loathesome London by London you refer too?
And which odious turd has so insulted Nunhead that I must slap him/her/it with a kid glove and challenge the thing to meet me on the Field of Honour, ie Nunhead Green outside the Saly Army to duel by abuse - I'm sure I can reduce this obvious fop to tears in minutes!!!!!
Zoltan - the Wandswroth crew have already turned North Cross Road into their own mini Northcote Road - I've been running from these buggers for years, used to live by Northcote in the 70s, Clapham in the 80s - its enought to give you a persecution complex!!!!!

There's a stuffed walrus there and it's huge. Absofuckinglutely ginormous.
I went there (as an adult) and saw this and then raved at my friends about how incredibly HUGE walruses are. I knew they were big but bloody hell, this one could fill a ballroom.
But they got it wrong.
They stuffed and stuffed and stuffed the walrus skin until no more stuff could get in. But they didn't realise that walrus skin has folds. It's not tight like that. And they're nowhere near that big.
NO WARNING
NO DISCLAIMER
I remember that from visiting as a kid.
It's a fantastic exhibit. who gives a rat's arse if it's not realistic?!?
I think it's awesome.
I haven't been sicne I was small, so it's *even bigger* in my mind!

East Dulwich is getting the social benefits of pretending to be posh like Dulwich Village. I see great fun in calling them South Camberwell or West Peckham - think of the effect on their house prices!
I lived briefly off North Cross Road and it was hell. Yuppie shopkeepers would watch you as you walked past to see if you would nick anything. It was the snootiest and most yuppiefied place I've ever lived in - much worse than Battersea.
I once walked into a place selling coffee to the total horror of the owner. "Private party" she shreaked. It wasn't - it was just a "no dogs, no proles, no irish" thing. They were all sat round reading The Guardian for what it's worth..
Middle class hell, turned Lib Dem at the last council election. They care deeply about mobile phone masts and sending their kids to all white state schools. The local SWP ran campaigns objecting to bus lanes as it damages the small shopkeepers.

Is that a new place? This was about 5 years ago and just seemed to specialise in coffee.
