Dulwich Wood
Southwark, London
Dulwich Wood sits in the south of Southwark, rising toward Crystal Palace on the ridge, with Sydenham Hill Wood and Dulwich Wood itself providing a genuine patch of ancient woodland. Nineteen listed buildings include the Grade II* Six Pillars, the Grade II* Main Building of Dulwich College — Charles Barry Junior's 1870 'North Italian of the Thirteenth Century' terracotta composition — and the Grade II Pond Cottages. Green space runs to sixty-nine hectares and nature scores strongly. Nearly sixty per cent of the ward sits inside a conservation area. Safety is solid, pollution is near the midpoint, and schools are moderate with eight outstanding nearby. The drawbacks are transport and culture: public-transport access is moderate at 3 via Sydenham Hill and West Dulwich, culture scores low, non-food venues are modest and new housing delivery is zero.
