Hi, we are considering buying a house next to the stadium of Hamlets FC, on the opposite side from tribunes. Can somebody advise on the noise in the area because of football fields? None of us is a football player/spectacular, we cannot even understand the FC webpage. The agent is saying that we should only worry about the noise from Saturday afternoons. Is it true? Are games always scheduled around the same time? Should we only worry about screams from tribunes or players as well? Thank you in advance

I am a resident living on that estate for the past 3 years.


The matches happen mostly on a Saturday afternoon, plus occasional games on Tuesday/Thursday evenings.


No usually not a problem with noise, their average turnout is around 200.

Occasionally there are pre-season friendlies where the place is rammed but these are very few and far between.

Tribunes?

I'm sure Sulla had one or two of them tortured, but I'm sure it's not enough of a problem in modern Brittania to worry about.


Seriously though, I wouldn't give it a second thought, the car wash in the car park probably generates more noise than the Hamlet crowd.

Yes, particularly dangerous in the winter when its got ice on it.

I live on Abbotswood Road rather than Burrow Road, so can't comment on the lane running down the side of the football club... but "kids riding and burning stolen motorbikes will leave your 2am slumber in tatters too.". Pfffft. Come off it. You are making it up. There is a noticeable lack of burnt out bikes round here for that to be true.

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
