Backtracking a bit: at least two posters on this thread would extend the northernmost boundary of Honor Oak to include the stretch between Wood Vale all the way up to Peckham Rye Park. Is that the majority view?

When I grew up in East Dulwich I always thought of those roads as part of East Dulwich. My memory is that people who lived there did as well, possibly on account of the SE22 postcode. And this would have been a time when there wouldn't have been any status or financial advantage to having a home in East Dulwich rather than Honor Oak. East Dulwich was just one more ordinary South London district with a predominantly working class population. (Or 'a dump' as a snootier / more discriminating poster has styled it elsewhere on this forum. Take your pick.)
