About

Dulwich Wood ward is a residential area in the London Borough of Southwark, characterised by its quiet streets and significant green spaces. The ward is anchored by Dulwich Wood itself, a remnant of the ancient Great North Wood, which provides a dense, wooded backdrop. Housing here is primarily composed of detached and semi-detached homes, often set along leafy, winding roads. The area maintains a distinct separation from busier urban centres, fostering a notably tranquil atmosphere.

The ward includes the southern section of Dulwich Village and borders the extensive Dulwich Park, offering ample recreational space. Local life centres around independent shops and respected schools, including Dulwich College. A network of footpaths, like the one leading to the Belair Park ponds, weaves through the woodland, allowing for quiet walks amidst ancient oaks and hornbeams. This integration of settled community and preserved forest defines the area's character.
