I'm just selling in SE18, round the corner from Plumstead.
Pros
Some nice parks, especially if you run (probs also if you MTB), notably Bostall Woods
Crossrail is likely to help connections and prices
Handy to cycle out to Kent at the weekends
Near Harry Perry's bike shop in Woolwich
Locals are generally a pretty nice bunch
Do you like fried chicken? Knock yourself out
No shortage of evangelical churches, many offering miracle working and gayness cures
It's not Lewisham
Cons
Depending on where you are, transport links can be shocking, needing a lengthy bus ride to a tube or mainline - but you've got a bike, so not crucial
Any short term value rise due to Crossrail has probably already been factored into the price
House prices have been historically stagnant (my place increased c.30% in 10 years - other places in Ldn manage that in a year)
It's still pretty much a shithole - almost as bad as Lewisham
