Me and a bird were in London couple years ago. Stayed in Crystal Palace. Decent enough spot imo but looking in the estate agents windows there was 3 bed semis going for the guts of 1.5m etc. ****ing mental.
If memory serves me it's near the Scrubs,used to play football there and White City hosted the Olympics and think BBC was there at one time,hope this helps
That is why I was surprised to read this article not even 300 minutes ago http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-36794222
Tower Hamlets is rotten with bearded hipsters drinking artisan soy lattes, who can afford to pay through the nose to live in a broom cupboard. It remains, however, a horrendous ****hole. As does anywhere with an E postcode.
Yeah, Sth Woodford is very pleasant. Technically must be in Essex though, judging by the number of retired crooks living thereabouts. The whole of West London is a toilet. A very expensive toilet.
