I don't think "ED is Run Down with Dog mess, litter, broken street lights". Yes the pavements and roads aren't perfect but that's true of most places. I've stood in dog phoo but they are trying to sort that out, some people will always not pick up after their dogs. Never noticed a broken streetlight (but i've never looked). I've never had a problem finding a bin, and there are always home wheelie bins to pop rubbish in. The toilet in the gym is I think meant to be a public toilet and there are pubs and cafes but I agree it would be handy as I always feel sneaky using an establishments toilet if I'm not buying anything. There's a sticker scheme somewhere (can't remember) where local establishments can sign up to to allow their facilities to be used, I think they get a small payment from council but I don't think Southwark has a scheme like this. All in all I think ED is well looked after, just my opinion.
