I’ve lived in this area for nearly 7 years. It has developed a lot over those years and is a great place to live. Plenty of shops around and more coming, good transport connections, great location for most London airports also, it’s in a well lit area so I’ve always felt safe even when getting home late, sports options around, good walks. I really like it here.

They are always quick to resolve any issues and inform quickly when there are problems with hot water etc.
