Excelsior Gardens, SE13 7PS
0.4 km from your searchAffordable area with good transport links
I like how convenient the transport links are but this area definitely feels like it's in need of regeneration and perhaps becoming more gentrified. I feel like the area is relatively safe but not 100% as I know the crime rate is high, though thankfully I haven't experienced it myself.
Transport
The transport links in Lewisham are quite good - there are train links to many central London stations and trains are quite frequent. There is also the DLR which is useful and many bus links. Sometimes the traffic can be bad in rush hour, and certain buses prioritise school children (also in rush hour), but otherwise the transport links are quite good. I'd say a Bakerloo line extension to Lewisham would be a great idea but would take a very long time to build.
Community
My estate has parking for residents, and the bins are communal which is convenient. The traffic can be heard from time to time but because the estate is not directly on the road it's not too bad. The estate has all kinds of people of all ages and walks of life, mostly private tenants and families with kids. There is not too much anti social behaviour.
Amenities
My local area has a good shopping centre, which has a range of chain stores, such as H&M, Next, Tkmaxx, Wilkinson and Primark. It also has an outdoor market where mostly fruit and vegetables are sold. There are navy cafes and restaurants, of varying quality. Unfortunately, other than a small coffee cart which operates by Lewisham Station, there is no quality coffee to be has in the Lewisham Central area. As far as open spaces, Blackheath is close by and very nice. To improve the area I'd say we need more high quality restaurants, like Sparrow, and third wave coffee shops. Also, it would be nice if there were more independent, non-chain shops.

Great local atmosphere stretching all the way to greenwich, particularly in summertime with sport activities for youth and markets for adults
Transport
Great access to public transport which are all very reliable. Any issues on one transportation system is never too much of an inconvenience as there’s so many more to carry you on
Community
Bin collections are good and so is parking availability. However a lot of school kids around 3-4pm which is to be expected
Amenities
A lovely range of shops including two major super market brands, and not too far of a walk from greenwich park which is lovely in the summer. Great access to public transport and a lovely local market. Could do with some nicer family features but recently have seen a lot of improvements through community efforts
