Kidbrooke Village, SE3

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Would love it if there were more restaurants, cafes and beauty parlours. Nice to have a range of supermarkets near by Is a bit nosy by the station in the middle of the night from time to time which is bound to happen but sometimes wish security would do more about it! Parking is good although I’ve seen people try to rent out their spaces to random people on Facebook which is a bit worrying…

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The intercom doesn’t come with the property. You have to pay for it as an additional cost.

What is the best feature of your home:

The view. The location. How easy it is to get to London.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The local shops are limited, with few quality options, and there are no restaurants at all. The only pub is below average and uninviting. Open spaces are poorly maintained, often littered and neglected. Public transport is unreliable, with frequent delays and overcrowding. Parking is difficult, and bin collections are inconsistent, leading to rubbish piling up. Anti-social behaviour is a problem, with disturbances and noise, often linked to social housing tenants, making the area feel unsafe. Traffic noise is constant, and overall, the area is becoming increasingly rundown and unpleasant to live in.

Open plan kitchen although I had to make modifications as the design was average for a high end developer

I would share with a new neighbour how safe you feel here with all the CCTV and on site concierge team I would say parking can be a bit of an issue. .I Would mention parcels being delivered see if you can have them dropped at the concierge or local pick up point that has been quite a issue with parcels going missing

What is the best feature of your home:

Best feature of my Home is the accessibility.. from my property inside my property outside

We have good range of grocery shops and some open early and close late. We don't have good restaurants or bars in neighborhood. Parking is problematic as you can only get 3-4 hours visitor parking permit.
