Talk:Camberwell

message: I would welcome some discussion on whether or not a link to the fabled carrot is of relevance to this page. Personally I think it should stay in. Camberwell and neighbouring Brixton & Peckham are places where you can't walk down the high street without smelling marijuana, and the "Camberwell Carrot" riff from Withnail and I is one of the few times the place is referenced in popular culture. Perhaps if there was a "Camberwell in popular culture" heading we could dig up a few more links, such as Basement Jaxx's song "She lives in Camberwell, I live in Brixton". Thoughts? --PaulWicks 10:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The camberwell carrot is one of the most recognisable things in popular culture that refers to Camberwell. I think it's as relevant here as Guns of Brixton is to the Brixton article. - Vaughan 06:45, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

message: There are a number of active community websites which could be added to the list of external links. In my view, they would provide useful information about the area. However, they are mostly unofficial blogs, which the guidelines say should generally be avoided. The ones I am thinking of are the Camberwell Online Blog, Forgotten Camberwell, and the SE5 Pool within Flickr. There is also Camberwell Environment, though here there is a potential conflict of interest, as the blog is the creation of my husband.
I'd welcome views on whether it would be appropriate to include these.Cdmason 15:13, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The following is unsourced information:
*Jarvis Cocker frequently visited the art college in the early 1990s - Pulp's song "59 Lyndhurst Grove" is about going to a party on the Camberwell/Peckham border 
*Felix Mendelssohn stayed with relatives in 1842 and wrote a piano piece called "Camberwell Green", whose popularity increased after it was renamed the "Spring Song". 
*W. S. Gilbert also made ironic mention of it in the comic opera, Trial by Jury.
* Muriel Spark's novel, The Ballad of Peckham Rye also makes mention of places in and around Camberwell
* UK dance act Basement Jaxx released a track called I Live in Camberwell
While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 11:59, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

message: The 1916 map seems to indicate that Dulwich, Peckham and Nunhead  – also part of Herne Hill? – are part of Camberwell, but the articles appears to contradict this. I'm presuming that the problem arises because of changes over time (in particular the sub-dividing of the original parish with the growth of suburbia). It needs to be clarified.

message: I think this page on Camberwell would benefit if it had a section on Camberwell's industrial history, and other well known enterprises that were once based here. It used to have a lot of factories - all gone now. This is something that could be reflected in a section on Camberwell. For example R White's lemonade, Marmite and Dualit toasters all used to be made in Camberwell. Codd, a famous Victorian lemonade maker which used bottles with glass balls in their necks was also here. Futura paperbacks were once headquartered here. Save the Children the charity used to be based in Camberwell. Any thoughts?

message: Why has Muriel Spark been taken out? She lived in Camberwell until she moved to Rome - living at 13 Baldwin Crescent. Why has she been taken out? She is among the most significant people to ever live in the area, and her omission is bizarre. https://www.theguardian.com/news/2006/apr/17/guardianobituaries.booksobituaries https://www.spectator.co.uk/2009/08/the-goaway-bird/http://www.notableabodes.com/person-abode-details/10559/dame-muriel-spark-author_13-baldwin-crescent-camberwell-london~~~~
:Booklung, she is discussed in the section "Literature" (my edit indicated that). Rwood128 (talk) 13:19, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

message: Why is it relevant to an article on Camberwell that "The South Circular Road passes through Dulwich"? I guess you could say "nearby Dulwich" if it is regarded as a sufficiently significant asset to note having this in a neighbouring area. Mutt Lunker (talk) 13:56, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
