  • @amey I am ready to go and look at that house on Carholme Rd, but my wife is still insisting that we don't move south. Can you give me a long list of the pros of Catford?

    Carholme Road is very quiet and it's actually in Forest Hill, not Catford, Honor Oak isn't fair either.

    I lived there for a year (rent a room), road is very quiet with minimal rat running, I and my partner tried to find a flat around there but was priced out.

    18 minutes walk to Forest Hill Station, 7 minutes to Catford Station (7 minutes also to a small Sainsbury)

  • Thanks Ed. I think you said up thread that you actually lived in that house on Carholme Road for a while ? It obviously looks like it needs a full renovation, but are there any particular things you would point out? Going to see it on Tuesday in any case.

  • Yeah I did, was run down and rented by room, but if you think it’s good to go for, it’s a decent area of London and easy access to Bythe Vale and the surrounding.

    Be warned that cause our families (mine in Surrey near Berkshire and her in Sheffield) mean the South East isn’t the easiest to get out of London!

  • Found my old Catford post here, but doesn’t read as particularly helpful for your situation. Prince of Nunhead was so long ago it’s almost like it never happened. Another place I left just before gentrification hit in a big way. I left before the Ivy House happened!

  • Ah shit, I'm not around on Tuesday, otherwise I'd give you the locals tour! You wanna be more SE23 than SE6 anyway mate...
