> East London is poor? Isn't Hackney East London?


Hackney is pretty poor: http://www.hackneygazette.co.uk/news/shocking_child_poverty_map_of_london_shows_hackney_is_third_worst_affected_area_in_the_uk_1_1176263

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.

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.

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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
