Crawthew Grove

[ecfc29]

Hi all. Does anyone live on or close to Crawthrew Grove? I am looking at moving into the area and would appreciate any comments on the area or this road in particular. I noticed there was some building work on the corner of Crawthew Road and a pretty uninspiring block on flats close to Crawthrew and Lordship. Hows the area in general? Thanks

No down points that I know of. A typical ED road, fairly quiet, parking can be difficult, handy for shops/station.

Thanks for your reply. How is it taking the train from ED station? Southern are a nightmare surely.

The best bet is to get trains from Peckham Rye or Denmark Hill as there is far more choice and you are not limited to Southern trains!

There's a huge great thread on Train cancellations and delays

here somewhere :)

Thameslink OK but usually late, Southern awful, Overground not too bad.

Lovely street in a very popular area. Skid row it is not!

Worlingham Rd, is, of course, far the better choice

Agreed, but then I was born there so biased.

Good area. But if you were planning on commuting into central London from ED station, then you're in for a world of stress. Forest Hill, Herne Hill, Peckham Rye, etc may be better options.

ED station is not great but a walk or bus (or walk and bus combo) to Denmark Hill may be a better option.

If you're on foot, Peckham Rye is a similar distance (without that bloody hill), and you have the added bonus of the Southern trains, just in case one actually turns up.
