Hi all,


Just wondering if anyone can help us - we're looking at renting a house in this estate and wanted to know if people have any experience of living there. What is it like at night? Should we be concerned about walking back from the station in the dark and are there any problems with gangs/overly antisocial behaviour etc that people know about? We currently live in ED/Camberwell borders (off Dog Kennel Hill) - we are not shrinking violets but we want to live somewhere safe with our young family.


Really appreciate any thoughts!

I live up the road just a little so don't know what the estate itself is like, but the area is lovely. The park of course, the pubs (Clockhouse / Rye Hotel), a great doctors surgery (Nunhead Grove), Nunhead shops. Come to police ward panels and make yourself known to the local safer neighbourhood teams, the local police, which may make you feel safer, but I am not aware of any particular issues around there. Enjoy!

      Disagree. Where are the police when you need them? People want a police presence, they want to feel reassured by seeing them do what the word suggests, policing, so go catch some bad guys, arrest, charge and get the CPS to prosecute with the evidence to enable this to happen. Stabbing and shootings are so common place they no longer even get reported in the public domain. How many crimes don't get solved? Rather case closed and forgotten. The number of low to high level crimes which remain unsolved is staggering.  The criminal fraternity know this, they know they won't get caught so they just carry on.  Biggest crimes which affect most people, probably are phone and car theft, both are prolific and what do the police do, diddly squat. zilch, nothing, provide a crime reference number and the case is closed. Not good enough, not by a country mile.   Met Engage? I don't think so.

      https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/violent-crime-plunges-london-homicide-rate-b1247078.html Worth doing a little checking before making assumptions about violent crimes. Recent data suggests a drop in violent crime. Gang violence will make a significant contribution to the numbers. You are unlikely to be attacked by a stranger

      Unfortunately there are plenty of shops which don't care and will sell vapes, alcohol and weed to minors, I'm sure they won't care about selling them fireworks. Or the kids nick them.

      It’s getting a bit annoying. We’ve a nervous dog who trembles when they go off. I know to expect it around Halloween and Diwali but it seems to be happening more through the year.
