What locals say about SE27
“I love West Norwood as it is a vibrant, friendly community with so much to do.”
Local resident
“Awesome views and fastest travelling needs.”
Tamjid
“It's easy. People from all backgrounds rub along just fine. Feels a bit of a hidden gem but likely to change with a new swimming pool/gym and leisure centre and cinema too. Some great local treasures like Rosebery's auction house and South London Theatre and again, will become more of a destination as SLT are planning to do major restoration works to the theatre. Think Balham 15 years ago when it was at the tipping point.”
