Goose Green
Southwark, London
PocketsEast Dulwich (Lordship Lane · east · south-east · north-west)Peckham Rye Common (East Dulwich · Barry Road · East Dulwich Road)
Goose Green covers East Dulwich, running from Peckham Rye to Lordship Lane. The character is Victorian terraces organised around the green itself, a compact triangle where North Cross Road meets Lordship Lane. Ten Grade II listed buildings include the Dulwich Leisure Centre, the terrace at 164 and 166 Peckham Rye and the pair at 31 and 33 East Dulwich Grove. Public transport is good via East Dulwich and Peckham Rye stations, thirty-two outstanding schools lie within reach, and the food-and-drink scene along Lordship Lane is among the most active in south London. The drawbacks: the ward has almost no public green space of its own, with the largest park recorded at zero hectares and total green cover nominally zero — residents walk to Peckham Rye Common or Dulwich Park; safety readings sit around the London average; and the market score suggests prices have been firm for years.
