Further to SingingWilks comment above, maybe you should consider the area in between Peckham Rye and ED stations? You would still be very close to ED Lordship Lane etc but also within easy reach of Peckham Rye station (which has a better service than ED station). You'd be in SE15 but arguably closer to ED's main shops/pubs etc than mamny parts of SE22.
Honestly, at your age, I would rent in a cheaper area. At some point you will want a mortgage? If so all the money you can save now could go towards a deposit. Have you considered New Cross, Lewisham, Nunhead, Old Kent Road, Bermondsey, Sydenham, Crystal Palace, Lee Green, Eltham itself? All of those will cost you a couple of hundred less per month in rent.

I was not sure you could travel to Eltham from Peckham Rye...


Time table


It would appear at the very best at least 1 change was reuired. ie. Travel to London Bridge then back out.


Some journeys required 3 changes..


Journey time 44-56 mins not good


Fox.

After reading all this self- satisfied, borderline delusional propaganda why would you want to move here?! It's nicer than ahem South Norwood and Penge but that's not saying much. It's actually pretty dull and suburban but if you want to base your quality of life on an array of pleasant but hideously overpriced croissants it's a paradise.

Er, weird couple of posts.


Where's all the delusion Granc - actually alot of people on this thread saying precisely that it is a bit dull and surburban for a 20 something...did you raed any of it or just pile in?


And as for Jimmy, I can only see one bit of venom on this thread...step forward, take a bow.

i'd consider camberwell instead. 15 minutes walk to ED if you fancy the cafe's and shops/ parks and more young at heart with loads of frequent nightbuses from all over london. much younger and trendier. i lived in west hampstead for a year when i was in my early 20's and god it was boring. ED is in general a bit more middle-aged. also camberwell will be cheaper. good luck whatever you decide.

    • Shout out to a local Science Tutor (ex ED Charter teacher her). Parents, you can boost your child's science performance while giving them the confidence to revise independently — with tutoring that costs half as much as traditional one-on-one sessions. I’m Harry Ingamells and I am a secondary school science teacher. I have six spaces available for private tuition this coming academic year. Over the past three years I’ve tutored many students in the local area, and one thing I’ve noticed is that while tutoring helps in the moment, many still struggle to revise effectively alone. So, my approach doesn’t just boost test scores — it also teaches students how to direct their own learning. It’s still the same personalised tutoring, but delivered differently to help your child develop as an independent learner.  If you’d like details, just drop me a quick message – I’d be happy to share more. (07554045276 / hitutoring@outlook.com) See why others trust my tutoring – read their success stories today! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cUr2uRT-at3PkNd70x-_UFDiSiPbtBnq1oq8C-DnhjI/edit?usp=drive_link
    • Hi!! Moving house soon so looking for some cardboard boxes. Anyone know of any shops or cafes that may be giving some away?
    • They're probably feeding rats, mice and squirrels as much as anything. All of those will move into a warm home with a reliable food source if they aren't careful.
