Crime rate and safety - Appleshaw House and the surroundings (Champion hill Estate)


Recommended Posts

Hi all,


I just rented a property in Appleshaw House, Champion Hill Estate. It looks very nice, however I came across some stats and opinions in forums, saying that the crime rate is pretty high and it's not very safe.


Can you share with me your thoughts on the crime rate and the safety around Appleshaw House and Champion Hill Estate?


Many thanks!

There was a previous thread on this, started in 2011 with more recent updates in 2014. Opinion is it's a nice place to live, I've always found it a peaceful place to walk through.

You'll be fine.


I used to live in an area where there were frontdoor shootings up the road, a firearm supposedly went off in my neighbours house (and armed police stormed the place), and several shady looking kids were always gathered by the station.


Nothing ever happened. Any incident would always be a personal matter between two parties or gang-related.


Unless you're in a gang, or do something to specifically piss someone off - you'll be fine.

    • I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa. 
    • How long is a piece of string? AI was a bit rubbish on this one, but Checatrade : average cost to paint a house exterior is around £30 per square metre So depends on the size, access, time to put up scaffolding and cost of hiring and building that, surface preparation, and quality of materials.   Checkatrade put it at £2.5 k for average semi, that sounds a little cheap.
    • Wow what a lot of reactionary stuff going on here.  Even by the high bar set by others on the EDF. So let's start with the title.  I thought wrong season for leaves on the pavement.  A bit late for ice, but it can still happen.  We all know about uneven pavements and tree roots.  Oh my word, perhaps Zombie apocalypse or sink holes.  Those damned Lime bikes?  But no, a four year old. The streets are rightly or wrongly full of kids scooting and cycling to schools in the morning.  Would or could a four year old cause a serious injury hitting an adult, perhaps but unlikely.  I'd rather a child on two wheels on the pavement than a car driving them to school. As said we are judging this on the original post.  We were not there.  We can not speculate. How this is victim (were you really a victim?) blaming, I don't know. How my response, similar to the previous two, is revolting, heavens knows. There is a serious conversation to be had about middle class parents.  My they can be annoying. And similarly for teenagers, adults, in particularly illegal ebikes including delivery riders, on the pavements, There are threads on the latter on here already.   But a four year old?  Really?? PS off to watch Newsnight and some more serious matters.
