London, E3 4LZ
0.6 km from your searchfound that my area has lost its colour and life
I found that my area has lost its colour and life. As an attempt to modernise, deconstruct old buildings and space, it’s taken a part of my childhood which only memories can fill now. Like for example, the green grass that is now a parking area, like the mini parks dotted around that are now devoid of proper park equipment and children. But lucky for me, as bittersweet as it can be, I’ve grown up and had my childhood. So at least there’s still local shops I can rely on to go and buy my bread and milk when I need it or buy some unhealthy snacks as I’m coming home from work.
Transport
The distance between my house and the two underground train stations (Bow station and Mile End station) that are situated opposite, is about the same for me. It’s within walking distance so I find travel much convenient, especially the bus stops. There are night buses too so if I’m travelling late, it never poses a problem. In addition, the waiting times isn’t too bad for the buses at my local bus stop, about 2 to 5 minutes. However, when it’s rush hour, getting to where I need to go can be annoying, particularly travelling in the direction towards the city as I go to work. And since my location is close to the city, there is always extremely bad traffic around rush hour.
Community
In my area, I get a mixture of couples, families and renters living. I can’t remember the last time I ever encountered any anti-social behaviour. As the years have passed, you hear less children play outside. It’s become a rare thing and my neighbourhood is fairly quiet most of the time.
Amenities
If the subject of the conversation were both local and convenient, then my local Tesco would fit right in. It’s a grocery store that contains all the basic food necessities one can buy. If it’s baking, all the must-need ingredients are there at my disposal. If it’s snacking on a lazy day, watching Netflix, my favourite reeses packet never fails to satisfy my craving. If I’m on the go for work and in need of some food, worthy to fill a lunchtime appetite, then there are plenty of options to choose. But the issue with our local Tesco’s, is that it’s small and so it lacks variety and global fusion. So, if we’re looking for some essential spices for cooking or halal meat/chicken, our local ‘Bengali shop’ is the way to go, which is only a few steps away from Tesco. It’s like your combined butcher shop and Cash and Carry, which is most popular amongst the Asian community. I can say there are restaurants in our local area but I can’t fully call them restaurants where you can sit and dine and enjoy your time! Most of them are pretty much open for takeaway unless you decide to eat in the small crampt space provided and that’s for most restaurants: Subway, PFC, KFC. The most popular place is our Perfect Fried Chicken place. It doesn’t really come as a surprise because it’s a part of East London. You’d be surrounded by a lot of these restaurants so there’s no escaping the unhealthy, greasy chicken! There is always Starbucks, Costa and Co-operatives which all huddle in one area (under the yellow bridge in Mile End). These shops and restaurants are mostly occupied by students, university students from Queen Mary because of it’s close proximity to the campus. Opposite that, exhibits a line of some average restaurants to which you can sit, dine and enjoy your time! Nando’s as one of them, is extremely popular, attracting mostly young people for its affordable prices, overhyped chicken and along with it, it’s reputation.
Fern St, E3 3PR0.6 km from your searchI like that everything is cheap and that it feels really humble, safe and quiet
I like that everything is cheap and that it feels really humble, safe and quiet. The atmosphere is, as mentioned, that of a familiar area. Maybe a downside would be that making a house party would make me feel bad becuase I do know for a fact no neighbour has done it in the past 4 months, but that can't be called a problem. The area shoudl be suitable for children and pets, it has a lot of green areas with children's playgrounds and in fact you can see a lot of children when you go outside.
Transport
From my place, I have Mile End and Bow Road at less than 10 minute walking so I cant complain once again. Transport is always busy but it ks nothing special. Stations are generally cleaned up propperly. I don't ever use the bus lines but I am guessing it is pretty slow since Mile End Road is almost always very busy, but I also think that is something that is rather normal in London's buses.
Community
Tranquility. I have never had problems sleeping from a neighbour with loud music, or loud conversations in the streets, or cars, or motorcycles, or anything. It is very safe as far as I know. I work for Just Eat and sometimes I come very late at night around 12-1 am and I know in some other places in London this would represent a problem but in my case it does not. About parking availability, as far as I know parking spaces are assigned to the people living in my road, but I don't have a car so I cannot say more. In my street I'd say theres a lot of renters and families living, generally from Bangladesh (the signs of 'Not Ball Games' in my street are also written in Bengali).
Amenities
Because it is a rather humble area, everything is cheap. Vegetables are always of great quality and can be bought in the local market of Mile End. There is Langdon Park for exercising which is one of the three Steel Warriors outside gym in the entirety of London, so I cant complain about that. The whole neighbourhood is very quiet, mainly because there are a lot of families living around here. If you need a cinema or a shopping mall you can just head to Stratford which is relatively close. I do honestly thing no amenity is missing around here.

I mostly like the people around as they walk out with their pets and families. I kinda dislike that it may be abit boring sometimes
Transport
Sometimes busses and trains take a while but they arrive on time. Their is also traffic because of many cars. They’re some cyclists around aswell.
