Louisa Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I agree South London is past it's prime, but fortunately for us in ED the miraculous knock on effect of nearby south west London has 'saved us'. We should all be so terribly grateful we aren't any further east, look at poor old Lewisham.Louisa.

Otta Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 That's two years old, and whilst there are undoubtedly still poor families around, I suspect the area has changed in the last two years quite a lot. Money is flooding in to Hackney these days.

Otta Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Don't get me wrong, I know that any money in these areas is definitely a recent thing, I was just surprised to hear that people still think of E London as "poor". I mean there are still loads of poor areas in E London, but I thought the current image of Hackney and even Stratford would have glossed over all that a bit.

Jeremy Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I guess they mainly interviewed people from north and west london!To be honest most of east london (anything east of canary wharf and hackney) seems to be pretty grim and scruffy, with property prices to match. And the majority of SE London is just characterless and unloveable IMO, with a few exceptions.

Louisa Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 South East London contains two genuine villages, Dulwich and Blackheath, numerous conservation areas which look the same today as they did in Victorian times, Brockley is a great example of this. Our problem in this corner of the city is poor transport connections. Overground is changing that perception of isolationism, but it will take many years and until then the only areas to benefit will be the areas of zone 2 on or near an overground station and preferably close to an SW postcode - fortunately we in ED have both of these things in our favour.Louisa.
