Lordship Lane is also residential an was well before all these late night bars started up. In fact I remember standing in the middle of the road at 11pm in the eighties smelling the curry cabin and saying this is a nice area to move to. It was very quiet. Anyone who moved in then could not be expected to put up with the fighting, wee wee and shouting we have now . But tis true that if you moved in a week ago you could not (or should not ) complain.
