Scylla Road/Philip Walk/Galatea Sq estate - what's it like?

[buggles]

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!

I agree with Peckham rose..It seems no worse than anywhere else and Rye Oak children's Centre is a great facility for your young family

Thank you so much for this information - any other thoughts people have would be great to hear - especially from those who live in the flats/houses of the estate...

Cheers! x

you could try the nunhead forum- it's a bit sleepy but someone on there may know the area
