Me and @andyp I believe. You're in the countryside after 15mins riding, racing at Palace (on my doorstep) and HHV also within 15 mins. Kent House 19mins to Victoria. It's pretty decent and close enough to Croydon to get there easily (17mins on tram for me) but far enough away so you have a healthy distance from Croydon!

Yup - been between Beckenham and Shortlands for four years now. Leafy. Great transport links. Nice if you have a young family (loads of green spaces). Easy out to the lanes for cycling. Easy into the trendier parts of London for pretending you're still cool / rich / not old. People quite friendly for London. Fantastic schools.
Beckenham itself is ok - if you like mediocre Italian you're quids in. Pubs very middling. Good sausage shop. Does get a bit rowdy of a Friday and Saturday, or so I'm told. There are good places to eat and drink not too far away though (Penge, Palace, Shortlands etc).
However, quite Kent-ish if you know what I mean. Solidly Tory. Local council are as corrupt as you like if the f-up of re-doing the high street is anything to go by.
If you want to buy an upstairs two bed 60s maisonette with garage and garden and 3 lovely neighbours do let me know.

Ok. Anyone in Beckenham?
Which is London, so kind of wrong thread. Never mind.
