  • I lived here for five years, until we sold last year. I got used to being looked down on by parents from my son's school, who mostly lived in Victorian terraced houses. One of them memorably referred to it as a 'yuppy prison'.

    Before that, we rented here for five years. That was pre-kids, so I don't know how we would have been judged by snidey London parents.

    Both were far superior to the various period houses and flats I have rented in London over the years. If I could find a 3/4 bedroom house in a development like either of these, I would go for it. Except leasehold is a nightmare in the UK (service charges, ground rent, EWS1, etc, etc).

  • You rented in the single greatest location in London.

    Olympic park had these, we nearly bought one.

    stoke newington is the prison IMO. On a weekend it's harrowing scenes on the high street with all the young parents wandering aimlessly from coffee to gift shop.

  • It was a bit weird tho mate...

    Ha I lived there for a few years when I made friends with posh girls. I really liked the space. The guys we rented off didn't bother putting central heating in so the electric bills were a nightmare but it was an amazing place to bring girls back to.
