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.

    • Saw this today about Southwark voting in support of a tourist tax in the borough  BBC News - Tourist tax visitor levy comes closer in Southwark https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5ypvw0qln7o Makes me wonder what else they can find to tax, maybe a fine for breaking wind, or breathing or even a tax on windows. Of course I am being facetious but it does feel like if it moves, they will tax it. 
    • Politicians particularly so....remember it's always party before people! I doubt McAsh will be in cabinet much longer...he might find even more attempts to kneecap his political career. I wonder if he might have to move to another area and restart - he obviously has political ambition but it seems Southwark is not going to be where it blossoms anymore - unless he can manage some sort of coup.

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.
