École, SE16

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The streets are mostly quiet, even at night, which is a pretty rare find in London. The location is wonderful. A few minutes walk to Bermondsey Station which gets you to central London in 20 minutes! And approx. 45 minutes to Gatwick airport. The property is surrounded by supermarkets (Iceland, Savers, Tesco Express within 5 mins + ASDA & Tesco Extra a little further), off license shops, weekend market and lots of other shops including hair salon, pharmacy and Medivet. Pretty self-sufficient area. If you have a dog, there are two nearby gardens with a friendly dog committee. Neighbours are all nice.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Knowing you neighbours and surroundings before any purchase is high on our list. We were 70% confident that this area is safe. After months, and having made friends with others who have lived here for 40 years, we are glad that this turned out to be true :)
