“I think this area, has beautiful houses, my home is a 20 minutes walk from oval station and 15 minutes walk to stock well station. There are also plenty of good supermarkets within the local area, including; Tesco's, Lidl, Iceland, and Sainsbury's. My Son's school is only a 2 minutes walk from where we're living, and everything in this area almost seems very convenient. It only takes 25 minutes to get to Covent Garden from where we live.”

“It's a great area. It's so central and easy to get in and around London. It's got all amenities you could need nearby, like big supermarkets, decent local pubs, and great local independent restaurants. There's a fantastic little community and it feels completely safe.”
