Reasons to live in the unlikely parts of london

I can assure you all that the pre-fabs are still there! The gardens are always lovely. The bus route 284 services them.

There were a couple of bus routes which refused to serve Downham actually, some local kids terrorised the drivers and passengers.
 
I blame the Eltham kids ;)
I think its the name though! It has to be the one of the worse place names in London
 
LBJ, you are totally right, Nunheads the fuckin Nuts, its wonerful and we have parrots, well ring necked parakeets to be strict about it, what with all the crows we just need a few monkeys, a bit of sun and you could pretend you were in Dehli, well except for the lack of lots of other elements, but with the eyes shut, etc......



Anything East or South of Catford bridge is a pile of utter crap - lovely prefabs full of asbestos not withstanding, packs of feral, underfed inbred children roam the streets in packs, all clad in knock Nike shellsuit type bollocks. The people are obviously left over from some lost offshoot of Neanderthal, only lacking the brow ridge because they have learned how to file them down with angle grinders to reduce chances of indentification and consequent confinement in a Zoo - though how the fuck be able to tell the difference I dont know - that part of the world, reaching as it does into Kent, with the joys of Dartford on the river and Bromley inland and causes a riple of aprehension at its very mention, lost mad world of the barely human it makes me want to introduce post-natal abortion( up to 30 years should about do it) as a pest control method.

heh - nevermind me (Bexleyheath originally), you should be warned that you;ve just disrepected the 'hood of onenameshelley, a Belvedere lass. I'd be very afraid - she's scary...:eek:
 
Tanners Hill. Brockley conservation area to run in, Deptford market down the road, tube/DLR/train, increasing amount of decent bars and a fantastic Victorian local with no music or TV. All this and an underground garage and roof terrace with views over London for £620 per month :-)

I was engulfed in a wave of fear the minute I posted it - I had visions of being stomped into ribbon-ness by the Kidbrooke Massive, but the warning you give leads to even greater horror!!!!!!!!


I think I'd better get my will together pronto!!!:D

Downham....(almost as good as Penge!)
Nice little cottage style housing (ex council) was cheap up until last year ;), now prices rising fast. Close to Bromley shopping centre :) lots of trees, massive gardens, loads of facilities, properly working class, 20mins on train to London Bridge, new leisure centre, clean air, not far from Penge, close to the countryside, close to the inner city, well built housing...see below.

i love it!!

Just remembered! The roads around that estate are named after Camelot and Arthurian legends!

Fab!
 
Thamesmead.

1) Nature reserve
2) Lake with herons
3) Easy to get to Plumstead and Woolwich
4) Bostal woods and Lesnes Abbey just up the road.

Sweet :cool:

Lots of people dont like Bromley, it can be fairly souless: ugly new buildings, the traffic system, middle managers and their god awful wives and daughters, each thinner than the next. It can be laddy too.

But in truth I dont mind it. I get what I need from Bromley- its great shopping and there are plenty of restaurants and bars.
I dont often socialise there though.

There are some good schools and wonderful homes, roads to rival anything you'd find in the posher bits of London.
