Life in Dulwich

Yesterday, in the Thai Corner Café on Northcross Road there was a whole table full of Buddhist monks having lunch. There's a sight you don't often see. I thought it would be rude to peer through the window and take a photo though.

East Dulwich was absolutely heaving due to pre-Christmas shopping frenzy. I notice on Southwark's planning apps website that Le Chandelier, a few doors down from Karavan, has applied for mixed use to include a café or something. Interesting...

I've taken to wandering up and down the streets of Dulwich looking for possible do-er, up-per opportunities or plots of land on which we can build. I suspect I'm not the only one. The estate agents windows seem to be full of ex-authority flats or dwellings with such dodgy floorplans, that you can't help thinking that no building regs were acquired when they were converted. And that's it! No wonder there's a one-bed flat which needs doing up on Blackwater Street for the rather princely sum of £250,000.

Also saw a rather bijou contemporary build on Lacon Road that is very nice. That's the kind of house I'd quite like to have. That one's not for sale though.
