East Dulwich

Picture perfect oasis of suburban living

Residing between charming Dulwich Village and edgy Peckham, East Dulwich needs no introduction. This leafy south London suburb was first developed in the nineteenth century on land owned by Alleyn's College and is now a lovely, friendly community with a great high street, outstanding schools and fantastic open spaces only a 15 minute commute into London.

At the very heart of East Dulwich is Lordship Lane – a bustling high street filled with coffee shops, boutiques, organic food outlets and the kind of pubs you'll want to spend the entire day in. The famous organic butcher, William Rose, has queues around the block at the weekends. The area also has a busy street market on Saturdays on North Cross Road.

The houses were predominately designed for large families (mainly upward of three bedroom properties) and the area is now filled with professionals, families and well to do types. The property market has thrived over the past few years due to the picturesque setting and well-connected (Zone 2) location - think “Wisteria Lane”.

Parks & Green Spaces

Belair Park

A beautiful park packed full of historic heritage.Belair Park is the only park in Southwark to have a grade II listed landscape, there are also listed structures within the park including the park lodge, entrance gate and an old stable building

Dulwich Park

Perfectly positioned in the heart of leafy Dulwich is this expansive and pretty park. A favourite for families, joggers and cyclists, it has something for everyone. Around 72 acres in size, it was opened in 1889/90, having been originally a collection of meadows and farmland. Aided by a grant from the heritage Lottery fund, the park was recently restored to its original Victorian layout.

Goose Green

Once common land, Goose Green was preserved as public open space by the Camberwell Vestry. Its name derives from the 17th century, a time when sheep, cattle, pigs and geese would be taken to markets in London to keep up with the increasing demand for food. To avoid congestion, the drovers would use the back routes into the city and Goose Green was a popular overnight rest spot for goose drovers from Kent.

St Francis Park

St Francis park is a small green space commonly used as a cut through. Conveniently positioned in front of a large Sainsbury's, this park is probably under appreciated as most people usually pass straight through, pre shop and post shop. Those who pause for a minute or two will notice some beautifully manicured flowerbeds and mature trees in the area.There is a children's playground too.
