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.

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
    • The Pie House Co-op Deptford Emergency Crisis - Needs YOUR Help. This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system. We have been forced to close for one of the busiest weekends of the year, losing thousands of pounds in income, and are now having to fight our landlords for support with the leak. We are asking all our allies for support as we try and reignite the crowdfunder to reflect the new expensive work that needs to take place, and the gear we need to replace. Thank you in advance for your support so far, and your support going forward. If you have any ideas with getting media attention, or fundraising - please get in touch on [email protected] Even if you like myself have not previously visited this venue, supporting small not for profit venues are vital to the life blood of what 'commmunity' is all about. HOW YOU CAN HELP: 1) If you are an electrician and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 2) If you are a Sound Engineer and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 3) If you are a journalist or have connections with the local and wider media (Print, on line, TV, Radio, please email: [email protected] 4) 'Every Little Helps' even just £1 will make a difference, please support the crowd funder: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/.../piehouse-workers-co-op...
