Dulwich Places

Before 1850 Dulwich was a small village when the coming of the railways and the expansion of London brought great change. To start with, large villas were built in the 1860s at Dulwich’s southern end, the residents sending their children to the newly rebuilt Dulwich College. The population more than doubled from about 1,700 in 1861 to 4,000 ten years later and by 1920, Dulwich was transformed from a rural hamlet to a London suburb, with a population of around 12,000. Between the wars there was little building but after WW2 housing demand led to the building of council estates and more private housing.
