Which is the shittiest place in South East London?

[TorchSong]

There are some shitholes round here. Whether it's the scummy, ratpiss-infested wino excavation wasteland or the acres of chinless NIMBY haven't-spoken-to-another-disgusting-human-being-since-I-was-a-wayward-youth-living-in-the-slums-of-Manchester whitewashed lawyer-belt...where is the true filth??!

[behemoth]

Some wild generalisations going on there. Good and bad people in every area.

Thamesmead and Abbey Wood is an area I would hate to have no choice but to live in.

[lenny101]

From experience I have only lived around Deptford and New Cross which were both alright. Sometimes I had to go down to Lewisham town centre which seemed to be a bit of a scally infested shit hole.

[ddraig]

Woolwich, eltham, plumstead, abbey wood/thamesmead, downham, catford, peckham etc
e2a - agree with lewisham as well

Catford isnt bad. Eltham too.

Downham, is not shitty and going through a lot of regen including my fab now health and leisure centre, complete with library and pool. ddraig's just got a thing against SE London, i really dunno why he bothers to come down :rolleyes: :p

I wouldn't like to live on Downham Way.

But I would far prefer it to the concrete hell of Thamesmead.

I wouldnt like to live on Downham way either but putting all of Downham (which is quite big innit) under the same umbrella cheesed me off :D but each to their own innit :D

Of course, I don't disagree, there are some very decent places in SE London. For example, I think Crystal Palace is great, Greenwich and Camberwell are pretty cool and Blackheath, Forest Hill, East Dulwich and Beckenham, if culturally 'thin', are okay places for a number of things. What I mean here is specifically the shitty and down-at-heel (e.g. Penge) or the wholesome-but-dull-as-ditchwater (e.g. Orpington), the kind of thing there seems to be a lot of in SE London.

Poll may follow. :cool:

[lau1981]

Abbeywood and Thamesmead by far! Truly horrid. Great place to buy or sell drugs.

[Andy the Don]

Woolwich Arsehole.. but I will counter with UN world heritage site that is Greenwich.

[foamy]

the concrete republic of Thamesmead - as it hosted my gorgeous but crazy, stabby chivvy saaaarflaaaahdarn luvvlie.



(but only cos i cant vote for the docks cos they is north)
