Walking Tour – Dulwich: Hamlet, Village and Suburb
7 January 2025 Comments Off on Walking Tour – Dulwich: Hamlet, Village and SuburbA tour on the development of Dulwich Village with diverse architecture, historic graveyard, iconic London boozer and great local characters.
On Richard’s second tour of Dulwich, he shows how it developed through the nineteenth century and onwards, with new transport links, a new Parish church, new park, new suburban streets, houses and shops springing up while retaining its rural character and charm.
Richard goes beyond its famous wide verges, grand villas and legacy of prestigious schools to find the story of its development is far more interesting than it at first seems.
Walking south from North Dulwich station, we take in a fantastic array of building styles, a wonderfully atmospheric graveyard, an iconic Victorian south London boozer and great Dulwich characters from a diminutive grocer-artist to a Nazi rabble-rouser.
