@prole yep I moved to East Ham 12 months ago (the rent in Wapping frankly ridiculous) and already I’m seeing quite a few positive changes, east ham north high street is a bit meh, and it’ll be a while before M&S or Waitrose move in, but everything you might possibly need is close by. You will notice a lot of young families out/about at weekends and the local primary schools have good records. It’s still a poor borough compared to the rest of London, which makes house prices affordable imho. My bike commute to Clerkenwell about 45 minutes each way via greenway and CS2. The bonus for weekend cycling is that within 30 minutes you are on back lanes with stables, allotments, without road traffic and the Essex region having tons of descent routes. If you fancy a spin out to the North Downs region, doable via woolwich ferry or foot tunnel. Check house prices on rightmove then come over for a spin some time.
