So we are in the process of looking to move from our 2 bed apartment to a house with garden (isn't everyone?!). We started off looking in Greenwich, which is nice but property is hard to come by lately and what you get for what you pay is not brilliant. So we are now looking more around South East London and considering somewhere like Brockley - Zone 2 and on the East London Line, which is ideal for our commutes to the City and Canary Wharf. There are some fantastic houses in the area (especially around Telegraph Hill) and we went on a small visit yesterday and it seemed lovely.
Anyway, I have probably out-researched and am now getting concerned about schooling, crime, safety etc etc. Is Brockley a bad idea? Would we be better off looking further out along the ELL in, say, Forest Hill or Honor Oak Park?
I should say, we currently live in East London so not adverse to an area other people consider 'undesirable' but we are in a very 'nice' part.
I would really appreciate any - honest - advice!
