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.
The atmosphere of the area is really good and I really recommend it as it’s a safe area.

Transport
There are several transport links that can be taken from where I live including many buses such as the 177, the 180, 199 and 286 which normally take around 5-10 minutes to arrive and the 286 also runs as a night bus which is useful if there is a commute at night. I would say that during rush hour it can get quite busy but nothing major and doesn’t really affect journey times as there is a bus lane which is convenient. The nearest station is the DLR Greenwich, this can take you to many areas such as North Greenwich station and Canary Wharf where you can transfer to the jubilee line train and can be taken to central London.
Community
The parking spaces are sometimes difficult to find but in the place where I live there is off-street parking so I find that really helpful. Bin collections are always on time and the streets are always kept clean. The traffic noise is not disturbing at all. The people that live on my street are mainly renters and there are students also as there is a university nearby.
Amenities
There are local coffee shops, my absolute favourite to visit is the Galley cafe, the atmosphere is amazing there especially when trying to get work done online and the staff are so friendly, I highly recommend it. There are also some high street stores nearby such as Superdrug and Boots and many fast food places to eat including Subway and McDonalds. There is another restaurant that we always like to visit on a Friday evening for dinner called Pho Street which is around 10 minutes walk from my street and the food there is really great they have a wide range of noodle soups and bubble tea which my kids love to drink.
Beautiful house but strong lack of community
If you have children I would recommend this area as it is quite quiet but if you have a dog I would not recommend as there is not a lot of green area for walking the animals
Transport
There are no stations within my immediate vicinity. But there are a few busses it is a limited selection. It would be best to catch a bus then switch later or get off at your desired station
Community
It is quite a boring area not a lot is going on and the community is essentially non-existent. If you travel out a bit further there are a lot of restaurants with a wide variety
Amenities
To be honest there are not a lot of good stores near my house or anything useful. They all require quite a long walk but it’s too short to just take the car which makes it quite frustrating. There are a few small green areas
All that said it feels very safe and the community does look out for each other.

I think if the shops along the main road were to redecorate their facades it could serve to regenerate the area.

My only concern is with pricing increasing a lot of people who run the markets may have to move.
