Dulwich Village is unique. It retains the feel of an unspoilt English Village but is only four miles from Central London. The Dulwich Estate Governors have protected the area from over development for 400 years resulting in a fantastic selection of high quality and well maintained properties and a feeling of space rarely found in London.
The Village has a 72 acre park at its centre and an excellent selection of private and state schools.
It also boasts the oldest art gallery in Britain, The Dulwich Picture Gallery, and a selection of great restaurants and shops that add to the village atmosphere.

Many properties have been renovated and extended to create fabulous contemporary homes.
