it is tranquil

I like that the area is quiet and there is no antisocial behaviour. The atmosphere is quiet and feel generally safe. The area is suitable for children and pets. In terms of the look of my area I feel it requires a upgrade and have some changes like more parks, redecorating like painting needs to be redone in the local area.

Transport

There are 2 bus stops within walking distance with frequent bus arrivals at busy times. Buses are usually overcrowded and noisy during rush hour. Quiet times are OK but it does get busy quickly especially as elderly amd mothers with prams use it alot. Buses are slow to get to the destinations There is an lack of regular night buses. The DLR is quite good and runs more frequently. You can get to your destination quicker than the bus. It is usually quite clean and reliable too. However, we dont have a underground tube and the nearest is at Canary wharf so have to travel by DLR to Canary wharf and do an interchange to the tube.

Community

The good aspects of living in my street is that there is no antisocial behaviour and it is always quiet due to mainly elderly residents living in the area.

Amenities

In my area it is tranquil and there are some takeaway and a large Asda supermarket as well as a small Tesco nearby. There is a pub across the road and a primary and secondary school within walking distance. We have a large park nearby for children to play in, it is not a busy area either. The riverside is within walking distance where you can look at the nice views and greet the ducks. There is also the Mudchute Farm where there are animals and a large open green space for picnics. You can walk through the greenwich foot tunnel and get to the other side to Greenwich which is in South east london area. It is a historical place with the markets, museums and the main greenwich park. Another particular local area is Canary Wharf where there are different kinds of retail like clothing, stationary and food as well as bars, restaurants and museums. It is one of the most popular area in Docklands with the famous canary wharf buildings. Public transport are also accessible with buses and the DLR nearby. However, the amenities missing around my area would possibly be more cash machines needed as well as another large supermarket as Asda is the main supermarket in the area and can get very busy. Also more spaces for parking cars as ot is difficult to obtain a space to park. Other than that my neighbourhood is nice and everyone living nearby are usually friendly.

Very cultured and diverse area

I love living in Greenwich because the vibe is very hip and trendy with a lot of young people, but is also balanced out by the families that live here too. I'd definitely agree it's both suitable for children and pets and is a safe area to live in. Everybody looks out for each other around here and I feel part of a tight knit diverse community.

Transport

The transport links in Greenwich are faultless. There are a few train stations and a DLR station within very close proximity. There's also a lot of bus routes that frequent the area and night buses too. Overall, the transport links are reliable and clean and I haven't had any issues with the transport network in this area.

Community

Greenwich is a very diverse area, there are lots of families with young children, students and tourists that all live here. It is nice because even though so many different groups of people are living in the area, you can still feel the sense of community and everyone is friendly. The only issue I have with living in this type of area that is so popular would be just how busy and crowded it can get at times, especially on Bank Holidays.

Amenities

Living in this area of Greenwich is nice because there are so many open spaces and a variety of shops. The famous Greenwich Park is huge and even has reindeers and an observatory in it! Furthermore, Greenwich Market and the Cutty Sark area have lots to offer in terms of variety of shops and restaurants. This is probably one of the most popular and frequented areas of Greenwich as there is so much to do and see around here.

There are the beginnings of a community atmosphere

There are the beginnings of a community atmosphere with a few options for children etc. but overall people keep to themselves.

Transport

It’s very close to a railway but there is no stop nearby. Tube station is a good walk away and buses are very temperamental.

Community

It’s a nice quiet street that doesn’t get much foot traffic which makes it a peaceful place to live. Parking spaces are very limited.

Amenities

There are a few fast food options like KFC. Good childcare with a nearby nursery and skate park is good for children. Not many shopping options.
