back to the OP

as much as accessing the local forum is good & a few weekends walking around, I usually have a gander at the local newspapers etc as preparation when moving house or a long term stay somewhere new. it usually give some background to the place.

In this case however, do not read any of the rags that serve the area. they are a cavalcade of unerringly bad news that in no way reflects the nature of the place.

good luck OP

Of course, the most beautiful house can be ruined by neighbours.....so lots of things to consider.

Yes, Natty - it is very hot!

Since you asked about Playfield and nobody has mentioned it, I'll give my view having lived there 5 years now. It has a great location, nice and quiet being a crescent and not a shortcut to anywhere. Parking is fine, since there are always spaces up by the school. Very little traffic or noise, but still just around the corner from Lordship Lane, under 5 mins to the cinema/pub/shops etc. Under 10 mins walk to ED station which is a bonus - east of Lordship Lane you tend to have a bit more of a walk.

Houses are terraces and vary, there are some smaller half-houses on one side, slightly larger ones on the other side, gardens are small but still big enough to have a BBQ in summer. Definitely worth a look around.

There are some council blocks in the middle between Playfield and Melbourne grove, which I know can put some people off but really you shouldn't worry, they are all good neighbours in the street, certainly no trouble. Most summers there's a street party, which is always good fun.

I didn't say it was. It was a recent example in response to the 'none that I'm aware of' comment.

If you look at the first page of threads in this section, roughly half are about minor crimes and associated topics like antisocial behaviour.

I must confess I actually felt safer in Manhattan in the 80's and 90's (when I was there a great deal) as a lone woman

because there were plenty of cops in evidence and yellow cabs parked at most major junctions.

i used to walk around downtown alone in the early hours of the morning and knew as long as I didn't look 'lost' or like a tourist I'd be fine.

I'd never dream of walking alone round central london (or round here for that matter) in the early hours.

Its bad enough leaving my work in the West end at 10.30 at night and circumnavigating panhandlers and moped gangs
