I believe that the area could be improved by renovating some old buildings that give the idea that the area is underdeveloped.

I am very concerned if I would live in this area if i had family. I don’t feel it is 100% safe for kids to walk alone, There are not very good schools in the neighborhood or generally amenities of kids.

Transport

I am generally disappointed of the transport in my area. We have some bus lines that cover a satisfying part of London, however they are very inconvenient, as the traffic is a huge problem in this city. There is no railway in the neighborhood, only DLR which is not convinrent always. The closest rail stations are in Lewisham (2 stops with DLR), St. John’s and new cross (around 20mins walking)

Community

I am not aware about the parking availability as I don’t own a car. The bin collections is adequate, we barely face problems with this. There is a lot of traffic noise, but mostly because of the 2 fire stations that are located quite close, however I am not annoyed by this in my apartment. I love the local people in the neighborhood, they are polite and willing to help if they are asked for information. There are mostly renters living in my Development, and mostly young individuals or young couples. The Development I live in is right next to Deptford Bridge station, it is very safe and I am extremely satisfied by the facilities offered. It is a big improvement for the neighborhood.

Amenities

I live in Deptford Bridge and generally I am very satisfied of the area. However I have several suggestions to improve the neighborhood. There are 2 mini Tesco, one AZDA and one Iceland, however they are not big enough, so I face difficulties in finding all the stuff I need. The closest big super markets are in Lewisham, but I need to use transportation in order to go there. Furthermore, I would really like to have some clothes stores in the neighborhood. Lewisham shopping center is 2 DLR stops far, however I think we should have some famous shops in our area too. Furthermore, I believe that the area could be improved by renovating some old buildings that give the idea that the area is underdeveloped. We have a lot of small shops, for example in Deptford High Street, in very small and old buildings that seem to be ready to collapse and might be dangerous for the workers inside. I would also love more trees and flowers on the roads. Natural environment improves psychology and brings fresh oxygen in the neighborhood. As for pubs and restaurants, even if we have some nice and cute in the area, I think we are lacking restaurants for more formal dinners or special occasions. It is a good think that we have Plenty of restaurants with different cousines and I have to admit most of them are delicious. Last but not least,I strongly believe that increase in the transportation is demanded. There are some bus lines but only DLR close. At Johns and New cross are 20mins walking distance and don’t cover as many destinations as they could. I believe that we should have railway in Deptford bridge as well.

I love how many amenities there are close by, that it feels like living in a pretty historic town and yet being so close to central London. I dislike the traffic, especially with recent improvements being made to the road layout which have caused more traffic jams.

Transport

SE10 has excellent transport links, with good access to the DLR and mainline South Eastern stations, as well as the Overground in nearby New Cross. Bus links are fantastic and include night buses into central London. SE10 itself is not situated near an underground station, and the nearest access to this would be via North Greenwich. Links by car are good, with easy access to the A2, A20, which run in and out of Central London and down to the coast, as well as the Blackwall tunnel to access North of the river Thames. These roads do get very busy at peak times.

Community

The street is diverse in terms of who lives in the area. There is limited on street parking but parking can be found in nearby roads.

Amenities

SE10 has an excellent range of cafes, coffee shops, bars and restaurants right on your doorstep. There is a local community centre running a huge range of activities, as well as beautiful walks by the Thames path or through Greenwich Park, which has extensive views over London. There are also a range of local historic attractions, such as the Cutty Sark, the National Maritime Museum, and areas of scientific interest including the Greenwich meridian line.

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.

The area is definitely up and coming, it's not up market yet but it's trendy with students and definitely going to get there soon.
