• Is De Beauvoir really that bad? I lived in a flat in the estate for 9 years, never had a problem, lovely people. Ok,the odd person got stabbed or shot, but it never involved me. All I ever got from the youts was a friendly "alright?".

    London crime map shows that De Beauvoir has "average" reported crime figures, but the area around Shoreditch is "high", as is the area around Dalston.
