I love Deptford


It's way scarier than 'New' Hackney


Plus i'd take a visit to Surrey Quays shopping centre, it'll realign your gentrification view

I took a strol through South Kensington last night and saw some of the same shops I'd see in ED these days. I think in general Penge is just a little too far out for all the gentrified BS to occur, but I rule nothing out since I started seeing bearded hipsters blocking the corner of Blenheim Grove outside a trendy bar. Come back in 2050 and even Orpington might be gentrified.

Was in Bromley today and had a great time strolling the boulevards looking for Christmas gifts. Granted it's not what it used to be, but it still retains a certain Kentish charm. Anyone ever drink in the Pawlenne Arms in penge? Is that what it's called? Looks old school boozer think its Irish owned not sure.

Drove through Penge earlier today and absolutely love the effort all the traders and local council go to for the Christmas lights. Looks very warm and seasonal. Unlike our local area, same old each year, especially the village, home to Charles Dickens and yet no effort put in whatsoever.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.
