Owning your own home

I do like the area, I wish they'd route the A205 through a wormhole though

A friend's parents sold on Croxted Road. Even though it was freehold, the Dulwich/Alleyn's nonsense made the process unnecessarily painful by all accounts. The £1.75m they got for it probably provided some respite.

Ha ha, even Clapham Common area had 25% fewer reported crimes than Swiss Cottage and Hampsted in March. (Don't look at Clapham Town)

Yeah....trying to get to Lewisham / Blackwall tunnel is a ball ache.

If you like where you live, then go balls out.
Horniman drive and that area.
The thorpe roads in SE26
Venner Road
Woodhall drive?

If the traffic drives you mad where you are, I'd avoid Perry Vale and Lower Sydenham.

Also: Catford is not the answer.

So you've never actually lived in any of the nice bits.

I agree that all the places you have lived are awful.

Swiss Cottage is an anomaly - a traffic snarled gyratory full of council estates in the middle of much nicer areas. Go west, east, north or south and everything is a vast improvement (Primrose Hill, St Johns Wood, West Hampstead, proper Hampstead, Belsize Park, etc).

Primrose Hill, St Johns Wood, West Hampstead, proper Hampstead, Belsize Park

So spendy spendy tho

North/East London is filthy, crime ridden and full of cunts.

Everything in London west of Marble Arch and south of the river is contingent. There is no earthly reason to ever go there.

So spendy for no discernible reduction in crime rates too.

Yeah....trying to get to Lewisham / Blackwall tunnel is a ball ache.

I'll be selling my place soon

Middle class SE10 postcode
Easy access to Blackwall Tunnel

Slightly too easy access to Blackwall Tunnel
Basically underneath the sodding A102 Blackwall Tunnel approach

The quieter roads with the larger houses round the back of Beckenham? Close for the lanes, only down the hill from where you are now.

Yeah but Dammit's rich now

it’s the dullness that would bother me.

Well, he would be if he'd left his Porsche alone.

I’m a long way from rich, I just have a lot of bikes, books and a couple of old cars

Beckenham doe.

Next stop : Conservative club membership. Blazer. Slacks. etc.

Nah, it's all new money these days isn't it? Footballers and builders, like Chislehurst. Pluses: Good green space, acceptable walkable high-street with useful shops, solid quality housing stock. Cons: The people.

Where is it acceptable to live?

Anywhere but East London.

Plumstead or Croydon. Fuck West Croydon though.

Catford is always the answer.

FTFY

Anywhere in East London

Feel like the first one could be ok - the rest I've no idea what I'm doing

On a boat.
