I was speaking to a black female outside the library at about 8pm the other night and she told me to watch out because on most evenings between 8 & 8.30 there's a really creepy person hanging around with a notebook. Just putting the warning out there, you never who is lurking about these days

We can all try and speculate but its really not that straight forward, demand is linked to currency markets, education, transportation, availability of equity & debt, area appeal etc. Any one of these changing is strong enough to influence a market. Supply is also influenced by the above trends. Ultimately unless your investor, if you can afford it and love it then buy it and enjoy it

I agree with a lot of the comments on here, relatively speaking south-east london is actually cheap compared to the rest of london excluding east london which is also on the increase. I moved to Honor Oak Park where i got a lot more brick for the money and is not too far for an evening out in east dulwich which clearly has a lot more going on.

interesting thread related to HOP house prices on the se23 forum http://www.se23.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=4135

p.s it looks like East Dulwich will also benefit from a couple more trains per hour to London Bridge

Yes it is definitely planned to stop at HOP, you need to look at page 113 of the South London Rail Strategy http://www.networkrail.co.uk/browse%20documents/rus%20documents/route%20utilisation%20strategies/south%20london/south%20london%20rus.pdf It shows that Honor Oak will be served with the below trains in morning peak (please bear in mind in 2018!) - 2 trains per hour terminating at London Bridge - 10 trains per hour on East London Line - 4 trains per hour on Thameslink (Blackfrairs, Kings Cross etc) - 2 trains per hour to Victoria The only realistic way for HOP not to benefit is if they scrap Thameslink altogether however I think thats been secured now and they have already started works at blackfriars, LB etc. As i said I am biased but i do like both areas, you cannot go wrong with either. For me personally when i looked at transport, schools, house prices and crime HOP seemed to work out better for me. Travelling to ED on a weekend etc is no hassle for the price difference, its better for me to have an easier journey to work than to lordship lane until i retire that is :-) mrcee Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I looked at this when I first moved to the area > and chose Honor Oak Park but mainly for the better > transport links i.e. East London Line and when > Thameslink finishes the through trains to Kings > Cross will be excellent (I work in the north part > of the city).

Honor Oak Primary Schools are pretty good though - Stillness, Dalmain, Fairlawn etc

I looked at this when I first moved to the area and chose Honor Oak Park but mainly for the better transport links i.e. East London Line and when Thameslink finishes the through trains to Kings Cross will be excellent (I work in the north part of the city). Plus both Fairlawn and Stillness are very good schools. Although I loved ED i realised that during my working week (Long hours, work drinks etc) I would not benefit from being in ED hence the price didnt stack up and at the weekend I can always pop down to lordship lane if I wanted to. I figured even for nights out that the 300k difference covered a lot of cabs plus its better to live somewhere relatively quiet and travel for mayhem than live in mayhem. I dont think you can go wrong with either option.
